It is now 40 years since the first BMW 5 Series went down the production lines at Dingolfing. Back in 1972, only the BMW executives with the greatest of foresight could have predicted that in 2012, the 5 Series would still be in production and still be the class leader - and it's amusing to note that the latest model - the F10 520i - is also a two litre four cylinder just as those first Fives were. BMW occupies a unique position in the hearts of car buyers and enthusiasts for no other marque of car has such a wide fan base. From what are probably the finest range of cars in the world to an enjoyable secondhand car, through to concours events, track days to drifting championships plus huge clubs and countless forums, no other manufacturer has such a huge and diverse following as BMW. The large numbers of the first three generations of the 5 Series that still survive attest to that, and this book is aimed at owners wanting to know more and pick up some useful maintenance, repair and restoration tips.

Book excerpt: The chaise-longue by Le Corbusier, the radio by Rams, the chair by Eames – designers make things into cult objects and become icons themselves.

Tony Lewin deserves high praise for this outstanding book. - Chris Willows, Corporate Communications Director, BMW Great Britain BMW is the most remarkable phenomenon to hit the auto industry in a generation. Celebrated for its luxury sports cars, motorcycles and aero engines in the pre-war era, it squandered its glamorous heritage in the 1950s; on its knees and near-bankrupt, it was rejected as a lost cause when offered by desperate banks to Mercedes-Benz. But thanks to a wealthy German aristocrat, a brilliant engineer and a young and inspirational manager, Mercedes would soon regret not having scooped up the once-glorious firm: pioneering the concept of the compact, high-quality sports saloon, the visionary new team systematically built BMW into the spectacular success we know today. Through the most expressive medium of all - the cars themselves - The Complete Book of BMW tells the story of one of the most remarkable turnarounds of the century. From the iconic 2002tii of the 1960s through the mighty M3 of the 1990s to today's born-again MINI and the crowning glory of the Rolls-Royce Phantom.- Every model since 1962- Technical specifications and performance data- Production and sales data- Key decisions that made BMW great- Von Kuenheim's brilliant template- Taking technology leadership- 1,600 color photographs- The new focus: premium at every levelAbout the AuthorTony Lewin is an automotive writer and commentator specializing in the business and design sides of the auto industry. He has reported on the automobile sector for more than two decades as editor of industry publications such as What Car?, Financial Times Automotive World and World Automotive Manufacturing, and as a regular columnist in magazines and newspapers in Europe, Japan and the United States.General AudienceThe Complete Book of BMW tells the remarkable story of the company and its cars.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story is about a child who, as a six-year-old, was forced to swap his mother for another lady that he was asked to call mum – the lady that exposed him to hideous mental torture. However, on his lonely journey into adulthood, Bryce never lost his tenacity which helped him to develop his mental resilience despite the absence of nurturing love and care that a child can expect to receive. After his grandma passed away, there was nobody that guided him through the process of grief. Torn between the two women during his teen life, the story reveals the bitter reality when eventually he got to know his mum as a young man. Not only is this story about the struggle of a father-son relationship that lasts a lifetime, but it is also about relationships in general and how we may influence them so that they may become beneficial to our lives. Much of this story takes place in Australia, the place which had become Bryce’s home, the place where he was working as an airline pilot. The book also deals with some intriguing stories and events that characterized Bryce’s life – apartheid, the end of the hippy era, Ash Wednesday as well as other compelling stories and tales that had become part of his life.

Download or read book Driven written by David Kiley and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2004-04-07 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exclusive look at one of the world's most successful and controversial companies, and the mysterious family behind it. BMW is arguably the most admired carmaker in the world. It's financial performance is the envy of its competitors, and BMW products inspire near-fanatical loyalty. While many carmakers struggle with falling sales, profits and market share, demand for BMWs continues to grow, frequently outpacing production. Now, David Kiley-Detroit Bureau Chief at USA Today and author of Getting the Bugs Out, which covered Volkswagen's demise and rebirth, goes inside the fabled German automaker to see how it does what it does so well. With unprecedented access to BMW executives, Kiley goes behind the walls of BMW's famed "Four Cylinders" headquarters in Munich at a time when the company is in its most aggressive, and some say riskiest, expansion in its history and when some of the company's new products, like the 7 Series sedan and Z4 roadster, are for the first time drawing as many barbs from critics as bouquets. Kiley covers intimate details of the boardroom drama surrounding the company's nearly disastrous acquisition and subsequent sale of the British Rover Group and its expansion into selling MINI and Rolls Royce cars. Besides being a world-class carmaker, BMW is also considered one of the smartest consumer marketing companies and Kiley explores the extraordinary value and management of the BMW brand mystique. He also takes a revealing look at the mysterious and ultra-private Quandt family of Bad Homburg Germany, which owns a controlling stake in BMW: Johanna and Susanne Quandt, two of the wealthiest women in Europe and Stefan Quandt, one of the wealthiest bachelors on the continent. David Kiley (Ann Arbor, MI) is the Detroit Bureau Chief at USA Today who has covered the auto industry for 17 years. He has been featured on Nightline, CNBC, CNN, MSNBC, NPR and the Today show. He is also the author of Getting the Bugs Out: The Rise, Fall, and Comeback of Volkswagen in America (0-471-26304-4), also available from Wiley.

Download or read book BMW M5 written by James Taylor and published by Crowood. This book was released on 2015-10-26 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BMW's M5 was a simple concept: a production 5 Series saloon re-developed for high performance by the Motorsport division. The M5 was the car that really initiated the legend of the M-cars from BMW; the letter M had been applied to a high-performance BMW as early as 1978, but that year's M1 was an exotic supercar. It had the right image, but the M1 was never going to bring in major profits. The M5 was much simpler in concept. It was and remains a production 5 Series saloon, redeveloped for ultra-high performance. Manufacturing costs were minimized, allowing BMW to price the car more attractively and still bring in healthy profits. This new book charts the development of the M5 across five generations. For all fans of the BMW M5, this book provides essential background, and is packed with the facts and details that make the M5 legend come alive. The M5 is still in production and remains the benchmark high-performance saloon wherever it is sold. This is essential background reading for all BMW M5 fans and motoring enthusiasts and is superbly illustrated with 211 colour photographs.
