Title : BMW M-series (Collector's Guides) Author : Chris Rees Rating : 2 Stars out of 5. Summary : Only covers models up to 1997
Being a BMW "M" series fan, I was naturally attracted to this book. However, imagine my disappointment when I opened to package to find it only covered models up to 1997, not mentioned on the cover. 1997 models, being 7 years old are quite frankly out of date. For a classic "M" enthusiast this would be an interesting book, but for those who dream of the the latest M3 and M5s and their superb designs it scores only 2 stars I'm afraid.
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 : 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 : 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 : Illustrated BMW Buyer's Guide Author : Ken Gross Rating : 1 Stars out of 5. Summary : Desperately needs a rewrite
This was probably a fine book when it was first written in the early 1980s, but it's been badly (cheaply?) updated since. It's now almost incoherent -- certainly not up to the standard set by some of the (excellent) other books in this series (Corvette, Mercedes, Ferrari). Needs a cover-to-cover rewrite, done by someone knowledgable. Don't waste your money until it happens.
Title : BMW 5-series Author : Marc Cranswick Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : Has e34 Alpina B10 3.5
The 5 series hasn't been used in racing as much as the 02 3 series, apart from the Motorsport models it's often BMW's four door family car. This might have resulted in a very dry book, but not in this case. The writer has spiced up the subject well and done an interesting account. Jeremy Walton has great research facts in his books, but he doesn't write as well as this person. There is a liking for BMW crash safety pictures in this book for some reason. There were some pictures I didn't think much of, but some I really liked and hadn't seen elsewhere. It seems to balance out. The price is on the high side but this seems to be the only 5 series book to cover the e39 M5. Plus there is a nice 2 page colour advert showing an e34 Alpina B10 3.5, a model I own and enjoy.
