2.0 out of 5 stars Another hack job, July 19, 1999

By	John Rosevear (Massachusetts USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've now read several of the books in the "Complete Story" series, and they seem to be typified by indifferent writing quality, a very heavy UK slant, insane chapter ordering, and a general sense that they were tossed off in a weekend by a third-tier writer. This book has way too much focus on racing, not enough on the cars, and not enough on the M organization. Unfortunately, though, English-language BMW M info is slim, and this book isn't much worse than the rest of what's available. Go ahead and buy it if you're desperate.
