This review is from: Driving Machines: The Bmw Story (Paperback)

An interesting book with nice photographs and printed on good quality paper.Bit light on for detail.If you like plenty of colour photos and something to read then this book is okay.

I recommend this book:

"BMW 1975-2001:model by model" By Laurence Meredith.

This review is from: Driving Machines: The Bmw Story (Paperback)

... Mostly unenganging, poor on historical details, and basically your boring coffe table book about BMW. I got the feeling while reading this book that this must be your standard issue info book at BMW's musseum in Munich. (I got as close as the Olympiad Colisseum so I cannot testify to that personally.)

On the plus side, you get a list of BMW's internal model codes. That you'll need in anyway in order to follow the book's poorly written structure.
