A glorious exploration of BMW, one of the greatest car brands of all time, with dynamic photography and lively text that explains why people love them.

Known as ‘the ultimate driving machine’, BMW is one of the world’s most prestigious car brands. Renowned for their smooth handling, precision engineering and sleek looks, BMWs pair driving comfort with powerful engines. Originally formed during the first world war, the company reached new heights of popularity in the 1960s and is still going strong today.

This captivating book outlines all the most iconic BMW models, from their first car, the Dixi of 1927, to today’s high-performance models, including the beautiful 1955 507 roadster, the instantly recognisable 2002 from the 1960s, and the iconic E30 M3, first manufactured in the mid-1980s. Each evocative vintage photograph is accompanied by insightful explanation.

The ideal gift for every car enthusiast, whether they’re a BMW owner or just aspire to be, this beautifully illustrated book conveys perfectly the joys of this classic brand.
