| Description |
|
|
The BMW badge stands for sportiness, dynamism, and designs that are at once functional and timelessly elegant. As this sumptuously photographed book illustrates, the marque's reputation for quality goes back to the earliest vehicle manufactured under the sign of the white and blue propeller in the early 1930s, while the introductory essay—in English, German, and French—traces the company's history from its origins in WWI. Cars like the pre-WWII 328, the 507 of the mid-1950s, and the M1 of the late 1970s captured innumerable motor racing victories. Along with these, the quieter Isetta and the 700 are well remembered for their practicality and economy. Altogether, this latest edition of BMW profiles more than 60 BMW automobiles in brief histories and large color photos, from the Wartburg Motorwagen—produced in 1898 by the company that was to become BMW—to the sporty Z-series roadsters, X-series SUVs, and the 100 series, introduced in 2004.
