The current generation, which features family saloons, practical Touring versions, delicious convertibles, and 'supercar' saloons, seems far removed from the earlier cars. However, upon closer inspection the lineage is clear, and the one theme that runs throughout is that these are true drivers' cars. James Taylor tells the story of the design, development and production of each generation, and includes coverage of the M3, Touring and convertible variants. Filled with full specs and production figures.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent history!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: BMW 3 Series: The Complete Story (Hardcover)
Must have for 3 series enthusiasts. Great detail content. Only caveat: Was written by a british author for the GB market and therefore is referencing RHD models and models that were never sold in the US. All in all a complete story though!
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: BMW 3 Series: The Complete Story (Hardcover)
I was most interested in the E30 part of this book but it does a very good job of covering E21 and E36 3-series models as well. Even a good introduction to the 2002. One problem is that it is very UK-centric, so North American readers will have to do a bit of translation to figure out which models are being referred to. Overall an excellent book and an a good introduction to the 3-series BMW.
