For more than seven decades, memorable automobiles have rolled out of Bayerische Motorenwerke factories. Among the most acclaimed are BMW's M-Series. This new title in the Bay View Original Series begins with the introduction of the M1 supercar in 1979 and continues through two generations each of the M3 and M5 and the production of the 1996 M635csi. Guaranteed to come to the rescue of owners attempting to determine which parts, accessories, and colors will restore their M-Series car to factory-original condition, the book also includes factory records, comprehensive specifications, parts lists, and period literature. Color photography offers detail shots and full views taken in Germany, Great Britain, the U.S., and South Africa, the nation in which the M5 was built.

BMW M-Series,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Original BMW M-Series (Hardcover)
I bought this book as I wanted to see the full visual history of the BMW ///M division. I own a E30 M3, E46 M3 and M5 so I am bit of a supporter of the division.
I found the book to be very well-written and prepared with some exceptional pictures. I wish there would have been some deeper history presented of the entire race-prepared sedans but I still found it rewarding and I'm glad I purchased the book.
