BMW Ultimate Drives
Fulfilling a lifelong fantasy, Jeremy Walton surveys BMW history from 1937 to 1982 in BMW Ultimate Drives using the finest original photographs and detailed, well researched text covering Munich’s road and racing benchmarks. There are the expected photographs of the coveted 328, 507 and CS model range, but the profiles of the 501, 502 and 700 series are a pleasant surprise. Throughout each section are detailed specification tables providing the particulars of performance and manufacturing with coverage of the racing cars featuring complete race results and period competition photographs. Owner’s impressions are also included with smaller segments on finer points of BMW history. This is a must have for the spinning propeller fan and a volume that should reside on the shelves of most enthusiasts regardless of their area of desire due to the unique perspective it provides to one of the world’s most successful marques.
