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 : 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 : How to Restore Your BMW Motorcycle Twins 1950-69 (Authentic Restoration Guide S.) Author : Roland Slabon Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : Wonderful guide of what accessory/part is appropriate
This isn't a how-to manual because it doesn't go into repair and restoration enough to get your hands greasy. What this book IS, is a wonderful guide of what accessory/part is appropriate for each year BMW motorcycle. The photos are extensive and very educational in leading you to a complete vintage BMW with accessories appropriate for the year of your bike. The author, Roland Slabon, is president of the Vintage BMW Owners, Ltd club world-wide and editor of the club newsletter.

Title : BMW Z3 Service Manual Author : Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : A must for the 3 series owner
This book is invaluable to any 3 series owner, especially those with the later models incorporating the M52 engine. I have been an avid fan of the Haynes manuals for many years but they have no plans to produce a Workshop manual for the later 3 series cars. The book has been written for the US market, hence the terms Hood,Trunk and Fenders, however, that in no way detracts from the wealth of information available. The drawings are of high quality, as are the photographs and electrical diagrams.
There are many special tools required to work on these sophisticated cars and it would have been worth the time and trouble to details possible alternatives, or show how some of these tools could be manufactured by the dedicated DIY mechanic.
All things taken into account, this book offers a wealth of information, and in the absence of any other publication, a must for the BMW 3 series owner.

Title : BMW Z3 M Coupes and Roadsters: Gold Portfolio 1996-2002 Author : R.M. Clarke Rating : 3 Stars out of 5. Summary : What I think
I wanted to buy a BMW Z3 for my wife and as part of my research found the new Brooklands Gold Portfolio on the model. Here in one book were all the previews, road and comparison tests from all over the world (even Australia!). What was really good was the fact that there were many reviews in full colour. If I had to find fault it was the lack of long term ownership reports, although there was one Buying Used article that gave useful hints on spare parts and servicing costs as well as a guide to what various year models might cost.
The book convinced me not to buy a 4-cylinder Z3, to look only for a six-cylinder version. And the articles on the fabulous M coupes--my wife thinks they're ugly even if they are blindingly quick--and roadsters simply whetted my appetite for the future.
I would highly recommend this book if you are interested in a Z3 with the view to buying the car or simply reading about them.
