Book excerpt: Few cars in recent years have inspired such devotion among enthusiasts as the BMW M3. Now entering its fifth generation, BMW's compact performance car is recognized worldwide as the benchmark of its type.

For all fans of the BMW M3, this book provides the essential background. It is packed with facts and details that make the M3 legend come alive.
