BMW M1 Procar (1980): Heading for auction in Warwickshire

Many BMW enthusiasts have correlated to the BMW M1 with power, beauty, and rarity. And the mention of “Procar” instantly links to the memories of a Formula 1 driver and incredible horsepower count. Unexpectedly, not all cars that have similar exterior features to the BMW M1 Procar have been on the racetrack. Like the model that we’re about to show you today, which will be heading to an auction on November 14.

BMW M1 Procar (1980): Heading for auction in Warwickshire

This car model already gives a unique aura, as there are only 453 units of them and only a few are still running to this day. We’re talking about the model owned by Frank Farian, who is the producer behind pop band Boney M and a few other acts. Bought in February 1980, Farian, later on, had it undergo a few tweaks.

He decided to let BMW Motorsport modify the car and make it different and unique from any other vehicle that has set foot on any racing venue. What we have here is a car that appears like a BMW M1 Procar on the outside but isn’t. Farian had already parted ways with the M1, and now has been in the hands of two other owners, keeping it in great condition.

It will expected to be auctioned at a range between £385,000 – £435,000 ($500,000 – $565,000).
