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 Motorcycles in World War II: R12/R75 Author : Janusz Piekalkiewicz Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : Very nice book with hundreds of wartime action-photographs
The book contains hundreds of photograhps of mainly the BMW R12 and some of the R75. All photographs are taken in Worldwar II and represent valuable historic information on how these bikes were used in combat. It also reveals the strategies being used by motorcycle companies and shows some of the human suffering of this era. Furthermore it contains valuable technical information, drawings and exploded views of the BMW R75. Highly recommended to anyone interested in this part of the history or for those who are involved in BMW R12 or R75 restoration.
Title : Illustrated BMW Motorcycle Buyer's Guide Author : Stefan Knittel Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : This book basicly is very good. I miss only a few things.
This is a very complete and detailed book. I think that the authors give us a very good review of the BMW bikes. They write not only about technical specification, but history as well. They have good pictures, photos and technical data. What I miss is that they forgot to write about some types ( R-3, R-61 ) and they do not give the technical data of all types of BMW bikes. The advantage of this book - can be read as an interesting story - is also the disadvantage of it. What I would try, if I were the author, is that show the types one by one, not forgetting the stories, but more sistematically show us the BMW bikes, one or two page for each, including photos, pictures, data. Otherwise the best book I know about BMW bikes.
Title : BMW Z3 Service Manual Author : Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : Not bad for the price, but not the best
While this manual has definite value to a 3 series owner, there are some drawbacks.
The schematics are good overall, but it did not cover later model cellular phone factory installed pre-wiring, for example. Also, the technique for removing the center console is vague (the Haynes book is better in this regard). I also noticed a photo of the dashboard was not even from a 3 series??
However, the book contains a lot of good information, which is not available elsewhere.
I recommend, it, but don't expect a factory shop manual.
Title : End of the Road: BMW and Rover - A Brand Too Far Author : Andrew Lorenz Rating : 1 Stars out of 5. Summary : An Opportunity Missed
For starters this isn't good value for money. I think £ for such a thin book is a bit steep - I'd finished the book within 2 days and I'm not a fast reader!
Secondly it skims over the surface of the issues, it feels like an extended newspaper article rather than an in-depth study. The authors stick to the rather few (albeit very important) people that they spoke to, and treat one or two of them to (unjustified, in my view) hero-worship. They could have added far more interest, colour and drama, if they had perhaps talked to some more operational people to get a feel for what it was like 'on the ground'; (It would also have added a bit more material).
If you're looking for a far more interesting book on a car industry merger gone wrong then buy "Taken for a Ride" on the Daimler Chrysler merger. It's a far more interesting and entertaining read than this, rather unsatisfying book.
If you're looking for a better or comparible history of Rover and BMW then stick to reading the newspapers ...
Title : BMW 3-Series, 1992-1999: MRP Autoguide Author : Graham Robson Rating : 3 Stars out of 5. Summary : Unbelievable!
OK, I haven't read this book, but I just had to comment on the cover. The cover shows an E46 BMW 3-Series (Produced 1999-2006), even though the book is about the E36 model (1990-1998). This unbelievable carelessness would put me off giving this book a try. A pity, as it may be a good book inside that cover...
Title : Essential BMW Roadsters and Cabriolets: The Cars and Their Story from 328 to Z3 (Essential S.) Author : Eberhard Kittler Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : Great pictures and history, especially on the 507.
Nice pictures and history covering the 507, Z1 and Z3. A must for anyone interested in the BMW two-seaters.
