The legend returns!
To this day, the BMW M1 Procar remains a central part of BMW M's history. Designed as a road-legal racing car, the vehicle found its way into private hands not only as a super sports car. With a racing series created especially for the model, BMW M cemented its legendary status. One thing is certain: 40 years after the debut of the first race, the BMW M1 Procar still impresses with its highly developed technology, unique design and exceptional performance.
In 1979 and 1980, the BMW Procar Series was one of the most spectacular racing series in the motorsport world. In most European Formula 1 races, the five fastest F1 drivers from the practice runs of the respective Grand Prix took part in it on identical BMW M1s, competing against private drivers, well-known sports car professionals and up-and-coming talents - hardly imaginable today, the series offered a spectacular showdown that became a great success with the public. The overall winner of the first Procar season was Niki Lauda. The following year, Nelson Piquet secured first place in the overall standings with three wins in a row. On the Carrera track, you can follow in the footsteps of the racing legend and really step on the gas with the white and red racing car. In the very first year of the Procar series in 1979, the likeable Austrian was able to secure the overall victory. Will you also be able to set a new lap best time on your Carrera race track? The true-to-the-original model is available in the Carrera fleet!

A racing legend in a red and white dress
After the end of the BMW Procar Series in the autumn of 1980, various BMW M1 racing versions also successfully competed against the competition at Le Mans and various national championships (including the German Automobile Racing Championship and the American IMSA GTO Championship). The Carrera car corresponds to the original in which the well-known racing driver Niki Lauda once drove his laps. But not only the extraordinary design, but also the functioning lights for the front and rear as well as brakes and the individual adjustability of the vehicle by means of coding bring this slot car far forward.
