Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the invention of automobiles, there were sporty cars and there were practical cars. BMW engineers dared to design a car with features of both. In doing so, they created one of the classic cars of all time, the 3-Series. For over 40 years, this model has given its owner the joy of everyday driving. The commute to work suddenly was as much fun as track day. Follow the story of this category-creating car from the origins of its maker as a World War I airplane engine manufacturer until the hugely successful car it is today. This is the first of three books about the history of the 3-Series. It tells the tale of a failing German car company unable to find its way after World War II. A last-minute loan gave BMW one last chance. The company used that opportunity to create the Neue Klasse generation of cars in which we find the genetic origins of the 3-Series. In the 1970s, the world was reacting to a severe oil-shortage. Introduced just at this right time was the practical but sporty first generation of 3-Series, the E21. With the introduction of the E30, the second generation of the 3-Series, BMW took the success of this two-door coupe and ran with it, creating sedans, wagons, all-wheel drive vehicles and the M3 supercar.
Download or read book The Bmw 3 Series written by William Frangipane and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-03-28 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of the middle two generations of the 3-series: the E36 and E46 generations. By the start of the 1990s, the sports sedan was an established car type, just like the muscle car, minivan or SUV. This is thanks to BMW which created the class with its first two generations of the 3-series. Every other car company had to have one, especially makers of upscale automobiles. Therefore, BMW had its hands full when it came time to create the third rendition of this class-creating car. So the company went out and boldly designed and built a completely new car, the E36, as the third generation of 3-series is called. The car reached a note of perfection in looks, handling and choices. This was despite the huge corporate problems BMW was having at the time. The fourth generation of the 3-series, the E46 was much more of a subtle change from the E36. This bit with BMW's philosophy of only making radical changes to its cars every other generation. Although not much different looking on the outside, the newer generation 3-series now had even more features and options for the sports sedan buyer.
Download or read book Bmw 3 Still the Ultimate Driving Machine written by William Frangipane and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third and last book of a series on the BMW 3-series. It is car that defines the sport sedan. This book covers the fifth and sixth generations of cars, the E90 and F30. Both generations are very controversial. With the E90, thanks to the chief designer, Chris Bangle, there were boldly aggressive changes to the iconic design. The iDrive interactive system confused many a driver. Even the supercar, the M3, had a V8 engine, which for many folks was like putting a moustache on the Mona Lisa. Despite all of this, the 3-series grew and grew in popularity. Plus, the magic drivability of the car remained in its DNA. For the present F30 generation, BMW split the 3-series right down the middle. The everyman's cars, the sedan and wagon remained with the 3-series. The coupe and convertible, now part of the new 4-series, are closer to the roots of the brand. BMW tries to conquer all the small luxury car market with new unusual models and engines, unthought-of until very recently. As the car world awaits the seventh generation of cars, here is a review of the most review ones.

Book excerpt: 365 Sports Cars You Must Drive puts you in the driver's seat of a century's worth of sports car legends (and a few rather less legendary), each presented with a fun and informative profile and fact-and-spec box. It's the ultimate gearhead's bucket list and poses the challenge: How many have you driven? Whoever coined the phrase "getting there is half the fun" must have owned a sports car. And the wag who suggested that "it's the journey not the destination"? Probably driving a Lotus or MG at the time.

In one beautiful book, long-time Road & Truck magazine chief photographer John Lamm, along with other top motoring contributors, gives the reader illustrated profiles of every sports car you've ever dreamed of driving! Now, imagine if you could drive a different sports car—any sports car—every single day for a year. Which would you choose?
