Whatever other people may tell you about cars...owning a BMW is something else. Whether it is a Z3, X5 or BMW 3 series, then you will be sure to find lots of information online about them.
BMW are great cars to drive, yet quite often it's difficult to know which model has the best resale value, or where the cheapest place to buy a decent BM is. Thankfully, you're only a few clicks away from finding all this information online...
Title : BMW 5-series Author : Marc Cranswick Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : Excellent detail, yet easy to read and great photos.
Despite a fairly hefty price tag, this book is really worth getting. Two things stand out. First, most of the photos (and there are hundreds of them) are of "real people's" cars rather than the impersonal BMW press photos we usually get. Second, the text is very well written and actually makes for an entertaining read - unlike many motoring books I have tried. Overall, it's a definite improvement on James Taylor's book for owners interested in the background behind their cars.
Title : End of the Road: BMW and Rover - A Brand Too Far Author : Andrew Lorenz Rating : 2 Stars out of 5. Summary : It should be a much better book
For all the hype, this is a Very light account. For a start the book was half the size I expected... Most of the contents just seemed to be a repeat of what has already been in the papers in the last year. I certainly didn't feel it had the "insider story" as claimed. There is no introduction story, so if you did not know about Rover-BMW then you would be in the dark straight away. Some statistics charting the company's decline would have been good, ie market share, units produced etc. An account of the models produced their strengths and weaknesses would have been helpful. Likewise an account of all the main key people would have helped. There are no photographs as well. As for being the basis of a Harvard Business School case study, no way especially when it lacks so much detail. Worse still it is written like an article in the Daily Mail, there is large bold type on virtually every page to sensationalise what has already been written.
I didn't intend to be so negative, but it is a subject which deserves a far better book.
Title : End of the Road: BMW and Rover - A Brand Too Far Author : Andrew Lorenz Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : Fascinating review of the acquisition of Rover by BMW
This book covers the strategic and management issues surrounding the acquisition of Rover by BMW starting from the initial approach to British Aerospace. The book considers in detail how the BMW management handeled the acquisition and explains some of the background to the approach addopted. The approach was revised as time progressed but in spite of this the success was hampered by a number of external issues. Ultimately the effect of these was going to be greater than the benifits from the revised strategy to manage the two organisations as one. A timely approach by a british company specialising in corporate turn-around provided an opportunity for BMW to extracate itself from a situation which would otherwise have had long standing effects on the viability of the entire company. Ultimately the Rover business was sold to the Pheonix consortium lead by John Towers. The set-up of MG-Rover by Pheonix and the strategy of the new management is also covered. The book closes with a view on the long term viability of MG-Rover as seen in late 2001.
This book makes excelent reading for anyone wishing to gain an understanding of the management strategy behind the news headlines which rocked the British Motor industry for most of the year 2000
Title : BMW 3-series Automotive Repair Manual: 1992 to 1998 (Haynes Automotive Repair Manuals) Author : Robert Rooney Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : Excellent Medium-Level Repair Handbook
This handbook provides an excellent reference for the home mechanic. The book covers from basic to medium-advanced maintenance and repair tasks. Most jobs are well explained although there is some detail lacking in some of the more difficult tasks. There are many photos, although more would have been helpful. Ideal for the novice mechanic.
