DESCRIPTION:
James J. Meredith said BMW by Schlegelmilch. A very impressive book with good coverage on pre-war and early post-war models as well as the more usually covered cars of the 60's and 70's. Excellent photography with many detail photos.. A Photohistorian's Delight A Customer BMW is simply a classy tribute to the art and science of automotive design. The photographs (contemporary and archival) are beyond compare; any photographer could learn about lighting and design by studying the photos that "make" this book. The historical narrative is engaging and extremely well organ. Fabulous gift Bought this for my guy, who is an avid BMW enthusiast. From his car to motorcycle he is all BMW. He also understands German back from his HS/college days so the three languages was a huge plus for him. The photos are great. He was thrilled with this gift and has been talking about it for weeks! Highly
In a historical overview, this book first tells the legendary history of the Bavarian automobile firm and goes back to its beginning, the traces of which are lost in the darkness of the First World War. The mention of BMW brings to mind legendary cars like the pre-war 328, the 507 from the mid-1950s, or the M1 of the late 1970s. The sign of the white and blue propeller circle has signified BMW since the 1930s: sporty, dynamic, radiating brilliance, with timeless elegance and countless successes in the German touring car championships, as well as in Formula 2 and Formula 1 racing. But the name BMW also stands for attempts to lend mobility to a wide class of buyers, for example with the Isetta and the 700. Following this, individual models are introduced by means of articles and excellent color photography.
