About the BMW M1 Procar BS Fabrications #5 N. Piquet Procar Series 1980 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW M1 Procar #5 recreates N. Piquet's 1980 Procar Series entry for BS Fabrications. The model has opening panels for cockpit and engine bay viewing. A significant early appearance for a future world champion.

The Procar Series put F1 drivers behind the wheel of identical M1s as a support category, and Nelson Piquet's participation here came in the same year he made his own mark in Formula One.

Opening Features on This M1 Procar

This casting has opening panels, letting a collector lift the doors and rear cover to inspect the mid-mounted engine bay, a genuine point of interest given the M1's unusual configuration for a road-derived racer of its era. The panels move with a controlled resistance and settle where positioned rather than swinging freely, adding a tactile dimension beyond static shelf display. Beneath the opening sections, the zinc alloy shell holds the M1's wedge profile accurately, and the BS Fabrications livery's colours sit crisply on the bodywork with the number 5 and sponsor decals printed sharply. This is a piece built to be handled as much as displayed.

Piquet and the Procar Story

The Procar Series ran as a support category to select 1980 European Grand Prix weekends, pitting F1 drivers directly against each other in identical BMW M1s, and Piquet's participation adds a genuine motorsport pedigree to this particular livery. Displayed within a Procar or BMW M1 themed collection, this piece works well alongside other liveries from the same one-make series, each car mechanically identical but visually distinct through sponsor colours. Because this casting opens, it naturally becomes the interactive centrepiece of such a display, inviting closer inspection that the fixed-body examples in a collection cannot offer.
