This book is a valuable addition to every BMW owner's library..

Descriptive and thorough An extremely thorough book for people who own or are interested in this make of BMW. The pictures and instructions for repairs or modifications are very detailed. There is also a good discussion of the collectibility and popularity of these models and what to look for when shopping for one of these cars for restoration. Excellent.
"This book by Robert Bowen really is the 'bible' for someone looking to upgrade their E30. Each section of the car -- the engine, transmission, suspension, brakes and so on--is given its own dedicated chapter where suitable upgrades and modifications are discussed in detail, as well as external and cosmetic modifications."
