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 Enthusiasts Companion Author : Jeremy Walton Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : TOTAL ENDORSEMENT
In their July 2001 issue, Total BMW magazine comment of this book in their opening paragraph: "There are 3-Series books already out there but this beats them all to pulp. Written by BMW expert Jeremy Walton, the BMW Enthusiast's Companion leaves no stone unturned in charting the history of the car from the 2002 age to the 340 bhp E46 M3. If you wanto to know it then it's in here somewhere."
There is more in a similar positive vein, but potential buyers should note that the title was published in the USA. It does cover all the major European moves and even some of the more obscure South African specials, but British model changes are not specifically covered. In 368 pages and more than 350 black and white illustrations there are myriad facts and figues, plus the full 7-chapter story on three generations of M3 and their racing cousins.
Title : BMW 3 Series (E36) Service Manual 1992-98: M3, 318i, 323i, 325i, 328i Sedan, Coupe, Convertible Author : Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : A Great Reference Source
This book basically taught me one thing: that when it's time to do repairs or service on my E36, it's best to take it to a dealer or independent shop. The E36 is so complex, requiring the correct tools, that unless you REALLY know what you're doing, fixing your car might bring on more damage. Having said that, it is a wonderful resource for ANYONE who has an interest on what makes their E36 tick, and gives some great tips to keep it ticking like a Swiss watch.
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 : BMW 3 Series (E36) Service Manual 1992-98: M3, 318i, 323i, 325i, 328i Sedan, Coupe, Convertible 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 : 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 7 Series: The Complete Story (Crowood Autoclassic) Author : Graham Robson Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : A great book for a great car
A very interesting read. It's always nice to know the heritage of your car and this book does that faultlessly.
If your 7 Series is more than just a car to get you from A - B then this book is for you. It gives lots of background information in to the design and manufacture of the 7 series.
It is packed with photos, drawings and technical data taken from the original design blueprints.
It's clearly written and the author obviously loves the 7 series as this shines through in the text.
