2 out of 5 stars Too many typos and omissions   September 24, 2005
  32 out of 33 found this review helpful

I bought this book hoping for a comprehensive, encyclopedic reference for BMWs from 1950 onward...sort of what "The Complete Book of BMW..." might lead you believe. Unfortunately, nearly every other page there are typos (referring to one model when they clearly mean another), omissions (no stats for the e28 535i???), and stupid errors (several of the production tables are blatently wrong, like that there were 60 318ti's produced in 1995; others don't add up, like the 6 series table that states: 972 + 3,325 + 3,668 = 5). I wrote to the publisher with my disappointment, and they never got back to me.

Though this book has lots of pretty pictures, and no doubt lots of correct info, I am left wishing I had put my money toward something else. A book with a cover price of $60 (thank goodness amazon sells it less) should at least have a few editors read through it, or even some enthusiast proofreaders. I counted no less than 10 errors in my first hour of skimming, and I'm only moderately knowledgeable about BMW history. Maybe the second edition will be an improvement...if it gets that far.



5 out of 5 stars Great Book!   July 19, 2005
  8 out of 14 found this review helpful

Comprehensive, well-backed material, and well written. Great pictures as well, many of which have not been widely circulated.

Offers a well-scripted macro-view of BMW's early and modern history, including its motorsport ventures. Technical data and specifications on each model are included, along with several articles on (the many) technical advances pioneered by BMW.

Great for the serious or casual enthusiast.
