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 3 Series and 5-Series, Saloons and Coupes, 1989-93 Author : Benjamin E Greisler Rating : 1 Stars out of 5. Summary : poor
This is the only book that covers my 91 318is, and it does not give instructions in detail, and often skips esential steps. It does however, have useful wiring diagrams.
Title : BMW M-Series and Performance Specials (Sports Car Colour History S.) Author : Jonathan Cohen Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : Very informative book
This is the best book about performance BMW I have come across. It features history, facts and pictures about M1, M3, M5, M635 CSi, M6 and 850 CSi.
What suprised me the most was the in depth information and nice pics about Alpina, featuring the B10 BiTurbo, B12, B8 4,6 (3 series with 333 HP V8) and early B7 Turbo models.
Info about ALL Alpina models and M models! Also mentioning some Hartge models, AC Schnitzer CLS II and CLS III.
As I said earlier, the definite book regarding M models, Alpina and other top-notch tuners.
Title : BMW 3 and 5 Series Automotive Repair Manual: 318i (84, 85), 325, 325e, 325es (84-88), 325i, 325is, 325iC (87-91), 525i (89, 90), 528e (82-88), 533i (83, 84), 535i, 535is (85-92) (Haynes Automotive Repair Manuals) Author : Larry Warren Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : Better than nothing but the Bentley books are way better
This is a thick book with most of the information you need. However there are no good drawings and the photos don't help too much. They try to cover too much and are not organized enough. I don't think telling you how to take apart and put together stuff is enough. Diagnostic tips, like the Bentley manual is what you need. However, this is alot cheaper.
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 5 Series Service Manual 1989-95: 525i, 530i, 535i, 540i Including Touring Author : Rating : 2 Stars out of 5. Summary : Could have been more informative
I liked the illustrations although I was a little depressed as the book failed to tell me where my spark plugs were located on my diesel engine.
Title : BMW Motorbike: The Ultimate Riding Machine Author : Kevin Ash Rating : 1 Stars out of 5. Summary : Very poor. Little text, and uncaptioned pictures.
I have to say I was very disapointed with this book. I was expecting a large, well illustrated, and interesting book. Instead it is a brief history of BMW. It starts with some text but this is spaced out to make it look more substantial! You then get a series of photos. These initially have no captions! The photos are then repeated in smaller format at the end with captions! Why? Whats the point of doing a book like this? I could not recomend this book to anyone... Sorry.
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
