BMW: Driven to Succeed (Haynes Classic MakesSeries) [Hardcover]

Graham Robson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: 2005

BMW has become one of the world's most famous and desirable makes of car. This book concentrates on the exciting models: there have been many outstanding saloons and also convertibles, but much of the company's glamour comes from its coupes and sporting cars. Models like the 328, 507, 3-litre CS coupes, 2002 Turbo, M-series cars, 6-series coupes and Z1 two-seater will feature strongly. Here, for the first time in many years, is a chance to group over 70 years of BMWs together and tell a coherent story of the way the brand has evolved.

About the Author

Graham Robson possesses a worldwide reputation as a motoring historian, and has been close to the sport of rallying for many years, as a competitor, team manager, organizer, reporter, commentator and observer; in more than forty years he has never lost touch with the sport. Not only has Graham competed in many British and European events, he's also reported on marathons in South America, and acted as a traveling controller in the legendary London-Mexico World Cup Rally. As a recognized authority on many aspects of classic cars and motoring of that period, he is the most prolific of all authors, with more than 130 published books to his credit. Over the years Graham has owned, driven, described and competed in many of the cars featured in the Rally Giants Series, and his insight to their merits is unmatched.
