For more than 70 years, memorable automobiles have rolled out of Bayerische Motor Werke. This sprawling photographic history spans the entire range, from the 1927 Dixi 3/51 PS to the James Bond Z8 roadster. The story of BMW's genesis in the aircraft industry is followed by complete series and model histories and overviews of BMW forays into motorsport. Gorgeously illustrated with rare archival imagery and modern color photos, this lavish treatment features classics like the mystically elegant pre-war 328, post-war 502 luxury saloons, the curious single-cylinder Isetta, hand-built 507 sports cars, the revolutionary 2002 Turbo, the M1 supercar, the Z3 roadster and much more.
