Enthusiast's Companion leaves no stone unturned" Total BMW - July 2001 Click
here to read the text version
Jeremy
Walton’s new BMW 3 Series Enthusiast’s Companion is
the only book you’ll ever need about BMW’s most popular line.
It discusses the roots of the 3’er in the Neu Klasse and 2002,
as well as all renditions of the series itself, including E21,
E30, E36 and the latest E46. All body styles and engines are
represented, as are the many variations needed for BMW’s diverse
markets world-wide.
Walton
takes you from the inspirational 2002 through the early phases of
development of the first of the 3 Series. Although he provides in
depth coverage of the 320i that came to North America, extensive
information is provided about the 316, 320 and 323i which made
such an impact in Europe. Although Americans experienced
lackluster performance from their Seventies 320i models, Walton
extensively delves into the many competition successes of this and
subsequent 3’ers, all of which are studied at length in their
many guises.
The
Enthusiast’s Companion tells you how to identify the
various models and helps you to decide which engines, bodies,
models and years are best suited to your needs. Do you want the
high-revving edginess of the E30 M3, or would you be better suited
by an almost equally quick, but less peaky, E36 model 328is?
Every page of every chapter of this book is intended to help
you to better understand and enhance the enjoyment of your 3
Series BMW.

Winner of 4 1998 MOTO awards, including Best Book of the Year
and a Single Marque History Gold Award from the 1998 International
Automotive Media Conference!
Unbeatable BMW is the comprehensive history of BMW competition
from 1917 through 1997. The first edition of Unbeatable BMW became
a cult classic among enthusiasts, but its coverage was restricted
to the years 1959-79. Now, this astounding story has been
massively expanded by the author in a hardcover format, richly
illustrated in 4-color. Jeremy Walton weaves together the tale of
BMW's engineering know-how, daredevil drivers, inimitable team
leaders, and the cars they championed and drove to the winner's
circle.
Behind BMW's envied reputation and the whirling-propeller badge
are such legends as the prewar BMW 328 sports cars and the 1990s
200-m.p.h. McLaren/BMW V12s. Unbeatable BMW also gives first-hand
tales of BMW's aviation and motorcycling deeds.
Included are gripping accounts of the preparation and
track-side action for such emotive winners as the diminutive BMW
700 coupes to the 1800 "Tisa" and 2002s. Walton sweeps
through the 1970s "Batmobile" 3.0 CSL lightweight racing
coupes, then explores the best-selling 3-series in every race
category. Walton also covers the unexpected success of the 5- and
6-series, the latter against Jaguar.
Unbeatable BMW recalls the establishment of BMW's Motorsport
division, and the thrill of the first M-Powered cars. From M1
onward, the author details the burgeoning M-brand, how MPower won
the first world title for a turbocharged car (1983), and the years
as the backbone of European Formula 2.
The book's 582 pages are packed with detail to thrill the heart
of the most ardent BMW fan, from meticulous photo captions listing
car, driver, and race date, to six appendices covering the
competition cars since 1960, drivers' accomplishments, and
powerplant specifications.
In short, if BMW has raced, rallied, or flown their products in
competition, Unbeatable BMW gives the full, behind-the-scenes
story in this compelling account of the marque's motorsports
history.
