BMW M1 Procar modified the German brand’s supercar wedge-shaped and made it more exciting for racing. For the 1979 and 1980 seasons, the top Formula One drivers participated in the one-make championship. Fritz Wagner was one of the mechanics who worked on these race cars. He has been able to repair several of the race cars using spare parts.

The M1 reached a point in its life where it was no longer competitive, just like all race cars. Wagner had a passion for the machines. Wagner began to purchase the parts when they broke.

Now he has a large collection of M1 parts in his workshop. There are many components, from nuts and bolts to engine blocks or whole bodies.

He finally had enough parts to rebuild entire M1 Procars. Although the video doesn’t give any details, it appears that he has at most three. Plus, the Jagermeister-sponsored example looks mostly complete. Wagner said that he is willing to sell Nelson Piquet’s racecar to complete the collection.

Wagner also owns the Lamborghini-built M1 prototype. He mentions that he wants to make it run on hydrogen in the video.

The M1 was created in collaboration with Lamborghini. BMW was able to continue the project even though the Italian automaker had left. This design was one of the many wedge shapes Giorgetto Giugiaro designed during his time at Italdesign. A 3.5-liter inline-6 with mid-mounted engine produced 273 horsepower (204 Kilowatts).

The engine output of the Procar was 470 horsepower (351 kW), which is more than the road-going model. To accommodate wider wheels, the body was larger and had an adjustable wing attached at the rear deck. The package also included a revised suspension and improved brakes.

Niki Lauda won 1979’s season of M1 Procar. In 1980, Nelson Piquet was the champion.

Only 453 units were produced for road cars and racers. The assembly period lasted from 1978 to 1981. Anniversary by creating the unique M1 Hommage concept. The design was inspired by the original, but had a more extravagant appearance. Pop-up headlights also vanished.
