Description

Beginning with BMW’s earliest involvement in motorsport, this book charts the evolution of the M division, from its genesis in 1972 with just 8 employees, to its current status as a vital element in BMW’s global brand image, and manufacturer of some of the world’s most exciting road cars.

Synopsis

This is the whole story of BMW’s M division, from its F1 engines to the latest road cars, including full histories and technical breakdowns of each model, plus first-hand driving impressions, all performance figures, and comparisons with rivals. Every generation of M5 was driven by the author at the Nurbürgring, giving him great insight into their relative merits. Featuring interviews with key personnel, a look at how M compares with the tuning houses (Alpina etc.), and a consideration of what the future holds for BMW M following the launch of the controversial X6M and X5M 4x4s in 2009, this is a must-have for enthusiasts.
