Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The mention of BMW brings to mind legendary cars like pre-war 328, the 507, "Baroque Angel", Isetta, 02 or M1, 3 or 7 series. From the Dixi to the 1 series: this book tells the legendary history of the Bavarian automobile firm.

About the Author
Rainer W. Schlegelmilch studied photography design in Munich and in 1964 opened a studio for advertising photography. Even during his studies, visits to car races led him to discover his passion for motor sports and fast cars. Hartmut Lehbrink's studies of English and German philology took him to Genf, Munster, and Bonn. He has written numerous contributions for publications including auto motor und sport and ADAC-Motorwelt. Jochen von Osterroth first worked as a cartoonist before becoming a squadron leader in the German Luftwaffe (air force) and then a "late" art student in Mainz. In 1971 he joined World News and became a Grand Prix reporter for rallye racing, RTL, sid, dpa, and daily newspapers. Together with the driver Harald Ertl, in 1975 he had his first experience as team leader and sponsor coordinator of the smallest Formula 1 team of all time. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the money. Pictures are great!, September 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Bmw (Hardcover)
This is one of the best books I have seen on BMWs and is a steal for the price. Pictures range from the first BMW made forward to 1999. Very professional and gorgeous scenery. A must have for BMR enthusiasts.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Photohistorian's Delight, November 2, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Bmw (Hardcover)
BMW is simply a classy tribute to the art and science of automotive design. The photographs (contemporary and archival) are beyond compare; any photographer could learn about lighting and design by studying the photos that "make" this book. The historical narrative is engaging and extremely well organized. The book itself is of solid construction and well bound; the dust jacket is magificently simplistic in rich blue with the distinctive roundel as the focal point. Paper quality is top grade, heavy-weight with gloss finish. A perfect gift for any car enthusiast!
