But not only is the company still here, it is still independent and hugely profitable. The enviable reputation gained by the 3-Series after more than a quarter of a century and four generations has seen it firmly established as the benchmark by which all rivals are judged.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYou \u0026amp; your BMW 3-Series all-colour book concentrates on the third and fourth generation 3-Series models, beginning with the E36 cars introduced in 1990 which paved the way for the later E46 range, launched in 1997. \u003cem\u003eRichard Dredge\u003c\/em\u003e tells the story of the creation and evolution of BMW's best selling model range, and provides a flavour of the 3-Series in all its forms. In addition to a model history and details of all E36 and E46 variants, including the Z3 and Z4, there is practical advice on what to look for when buying a 3-Series, as well as details of maintenance and modifications. An essential guide for all 3-Series owners and enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis publication is an essential guide for all 3-Series owners and enthusiasts giving advise on buying, enjoying maintaining and modifying your BMW.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere is a very simple basic law in trading which says the value of any commodity will be dictated by the balance between supply and demand. The more demand there is for something, as long as supply can't quite match it, the values will remain high. But somehow the BMW 3-Series manages to buck this trend, and it is for one reason - image. BMW's marketing gurus have somehow managed to put BMW into the position that every other car maker wants to be in - that of being able to constantly ramp up production yet continue to charge premium prices because everybody still wants them. Millions of examples of the 3-Series have been produced and if it wasn't for this model, BMW probably wouldn't be here today.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe huge success of BMW's compact executive is held up as one of the great marketing and manufacturing case studies of all time. While there are those who actively shun the notion of driving a 3-Series because 'everyone drives one nowadays', there can be no denying that in the compact executive sector, BMW's rivals have a very hard time trying to compete. In 2002, the BMW Group broke all records to sell more than one million cars for the first time. Within the UK it sold more cars than ever - a tally of 85,567 was the most cars it had ever shifted in that market. But the incredible thing was that despite the 5-Series, 7-Series, X5, Mini and Z3 all being in the BMW line up, over 60,000 of the cars BMW sold in Britain in 2002 were examples of the 3-Series. That's how crucial the car is to the company, and with four generations produced so far, there's no sign of its popularity waning.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen the fourth-generation 3-Series was launched in 1998, the MD of BMW Great Britain made a very odd comparison, but one that withstands scrutiny. He stated that a modern tennis racquet is clearly related to its ancestor of 50 years ago, although it has undergone tremendous change and that the same is true of the 3-Series - it is familiar, yet all-new. Obtuse yes, but by standing an E46 (fourth-generation) 3-Series next to its E21 (first-generation) predecessor, the likeness is immediately apparent.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs this book goes to press, the first artists' impressions of the fifth-generation 3-Series are starting to appear. While they may be more daring than has been seen before - thanks to the very creative input of BMW design chief Chris Bangle - there are several things that can be taken for granted before the car officially sees the light of day. One is that it will be a fantastic car to drive. Another is that it will be superbly engineered with top-notch engines and transmissions along with peerless build quality. And a third is that once more, BMW will shift every one it can build, thus ensuring the company continues to be one of the most profitable car makers around.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eOther Details\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003ePublisher Code:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eH976\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eISBN 10:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e1859609767\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eISBN 13:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003ePublished:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e2004\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e215x275mm\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003ePages:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e152\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eIllustrations:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eHard Bound, colour ill\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eBarcode:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e9781859609767\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Haynes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47627564613852,"sku":"9781859609767","price":69.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/8297\/3404\/files\/b6995_BMW_3_Series_you_your_resized__56442.1339460179.1280.1280.jpg?v=1772082621"},{"product_id":"bmw-z-series-the-complete-story","title":"BMW Z Series - The Complete Story","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy: Mick Walker .\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn just a few years the BMW Z3 has earned itself the title of one of the world's most desirable cars. Its styling and performance, and the cachet of the all-important badge, have given it a large share of probably the most competitive two-seater sports-car market since the 1960s.

Burkard Bovensiepen has always insisted that nothing but the best will do — and the huge reputation that his Alpina cars have garnered around the world is testament to the essential rightness of that view.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBeginning with a home-produced bolt-on high-performance kit for BMW's new small saloon, the 1500, Alpina swiftly progressed to making other high-performance items for a broader range of BMWs. In the later 1960s, the company became actively involved in motor sport to help promote its products, and during that period built both a solid reputation with its customers and a good relationship with the BMW company, which produced Alpina's 'host' cars.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHowever, as Alpina expanded and began to sell its products more widely, the risk grew that enthusiasts would be able to buy the components to create `Alpina' cars that did not meet the parent company's own high standards.

The first 3-series cars had been the E21s, introduced in 1975. Their replacements were the E30s in 1983, and these in turn gave way to the third generation E36 models. Not content with improving on the already excellent dynamic qualities of previous 3 series models, BMW expanded the scope of the range within the production lifetime of these cars. In the beginning, there were just four-door saloons, offered with a range of engines from the 1.6-litre four-cylinder up to the 2.5-litre six-cylinder.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe expected estate car and cabriolet derivatives arrived later, but new to this third generation range were the two-door Coupe (on which the M3 was initially based) and the Compact, the latter intended to extend the range downwards to compete with hot hatches such as the VW Golf. In Germany, there was even a four-door cabriolet conversion by Baur, though this intriguing derivative was not seen elsewhere. By the time production ended, a 2.8 litre six cylinder engine topped the standard range (below the M3, by this stage available also as a cabriolet), and a 1.8 litre four cylinder diesel had been introduced alongside the delightful 2.5 litre six cylinder diesel.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs the articles collected in this Brooklands book show, the E36 BMWs made a massive impact when they were new. There is no doubt in my mind that they will go on to be remembered as standard-setters in the early 1990s, and that their beautifully balanced styling will be remembered as a classic of its time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis book of contemporary articles includes road and comparison tests, driving impressions, model introductions, buying used and specification data.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModels covered are: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 316, 318, 320, 325, 328 \u0026amp;

This has seen an explosion in demand for so-called Sports Utility Vehicles (SUV) that evolved out of truck-like all-wheel drive vehicles that utilised quite outmoded chassis technology. BMW, however, was exploring various new market niches and hit upon the concept of a Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) that became the X5. As has been well demonstrated, SAVs are quite different from SUVs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe BMW X5 evolved out of studies carried out to create a new class of vehicle, that would combine BMW's renowned taut handling, executive-class fittings and style that would be equally at home at high speed on the motorway, commuting or off-road. It had to provide the driver with the full palette of BMW characteristics. All-wheel drive was a given although the marketing people at BMW did not envisage that being critical to their buyer profile. How right they were!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo achieve their objectives they mixed and matched components, engines, driveline and suspension parts and the many electronic controls like ABS, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and Hill Descent Control (HDC), from existing 5 and 7 Series and combined these with a large-but-roomy monocoque body and versatile interior that would cosset the occupants and be stylish into the bargain.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen released late in 1999 the BMW X5 set a completely new benchmark, one far higher than anybody had foreseen and which few have matched today, many years later. It is true that its off-road performance was average but its on-road performance was staggering, especially if it was the X5 4.4i with the superb 286bhp DOHC V8 engine. For those who valued economy there was the 231bhp DOHC 3.0i six-cylinder engine.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith continued development and refinement the X5 has received a magnificent 3.0 turbo diesel engine that develops 184bhp and an enormous 390Nm of torque at just 1750rpm. Since its release it has become the most popular engine choice. The V8 engine has seen progressive expansions of capacity, first to 4.6-litres in 2001 and finally to 4.8-litres early in 2004.

Its aero engine speciality made it prosper in times of war and the book shows an appreciative Adolf Hitler visiting the BMW plants to inspect and admire the company's wartime output. Like Germany itself, BMW's outlook in 1945 was bleak indeed with wrecked factories and its key Eisenach plant annexed into the Eastern block. Despite these challenges the company rallied and began with grim determination to rebuild itself and its production facilities literally from the ground up. It set out on a trail of acquisition, buying up the plants of failed competitors like Glas, while receiving new investment from the Quandt family, in 1959, who remain major shareholders of the company to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAuthor Graham Robson examines in detail how this disparate band of production units has combined to become the vast multi national business that BMW is today.The book takes us to the Rolls-Royce and MINI plants in England, Spartanburg in the United States, Chennai in India, the Roslyn plant in South Africa, plus assembly plants in Thailand, and China. Finally we return to Germany to examine the re-establishment of production at Eisenach following the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Dingolfing plant in Munich, the Steyr engine factory and the new state-of- the-art Leipzig facility.We also take a look at the assembly of the current World Class model range that emanates from these factories.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003chr class=\"ProductSectionSeparator\"\u003e \u003ch3\u003eOther Details\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"ProductDetailsGrid\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003ePublisher Code:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003eIN5BMFA\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eISBN 10:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eISBN 13:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e9780760334638\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003ePublished:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e2008\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e280x250mm\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e192\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eIllustrations:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003eHard Bound, Colour and b\/w ill\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eBarcode:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e9780760334638\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Motorbooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47627905237212,"sku":"9780760334638","price":113.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/8297\/3404\/files\/b14526_inside_bmw_factories__40596.1339460334.1280.1280.jpg?v=1772085655"},{"product_id":"bmw","title":"BMW","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy: Rainer W.

Now one of the world's most famous marques, it has had a turbulent history. Here is the exciting story of the German giant, from the fledgling years when it had to learn its trade from scratch through to today's highly sophisticated company that makes cars with fine engines, advanced engineering and instantly recognisable styling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOriginally the company manufactured aircraft engines for military use. In 1927 BMW began, modestly, to build British Austin Seven cars under licence, and within a decade it had developed state-of- the-art engines, chassis and styling. But, after the Second World War, those factories that were not devastated by Allied bombing had been confiscated, and BMW had to start all over again.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEven in the 1950s, BMW needed to build bubble cars to stay in business, and in 1959 a major financial crisis had to be overcome, principally with new investment from the Quandt family. The 'New Class' saloons proved successful, however, and BMW boomed back to fame and fortune. New ranges, new styles and new sporting M-Type models all contributed to phenomenal growth.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHaving absorbed the pride of the British motor industry, the Mini and the Rolls- Royce, BMW now boasts an annual output of more than a million cars, and expansion continues steadily.

The logical car for him to import would have been the hot 1600ti, but its engine could not be made to meet the new exhaust emissions regulations. So he suggested that BMW should substitute the 2-litre engine from its larger saloons, which would give excellent performance even in emissions-controlled form.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe BMW engineers did as Hoffmann suggested, and the result took the motoring world by storm on its announcement in 1968. Not only did it provide the performance-oriented model which Hoffmann wanted for the USA, but in European guise without the power sapping emissions control gear, it offered affordable high performance in a compact and agile package. So popular did the 2002 become that it went on to sell more than 300,000 examples over the seven seasons of its production. It was only to be expected that BMW would capitalise on this success.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe original 2002 was complemented by an automatic version in 1969 and in due course by a whole range of other derivatives: 2002ti, 2002tii, 2002 convertible, three hatchback touring models and finally, the legendary 2002 Turbo. When the last 2002 variant rolled off the Munich assembly lines in 1975, the grant total for all models came to just under 418,000. Today, the qualities which made the 2002 range so appealing I the late 1960s and early 1970s continue to endear them to motoring enthusiasts.

Surprising as it may seem for a company whose reputation depends so heavily on sporting performance, there had never before been an affordable two-seater roadster in the Munich manufacturer's range. Roadsters had certainly existed, witness the magnificent 507 of the 1950s, but affordability was a new criterion. Not that the Z3 was ever cheap. In a roadster market re-opened by the Mazda MX-5 at the end of the 1980s, the BMW was always a premium priced contender. Yet nobody complained; the marque’s reputation was such that buyers were happy to pay high prices just to have the blue and white roundel on the snout of their affordable roadsters. It was only to be expected that BMW would move the Z3 up market once it had become established. In the beginning, all Z3s had either 1.8 litre or 1.9 litre four cylinder engines, but it wasn’t long before a six cylinder 2.8 litre alternative was offered. And later, both four cylinder and six cylinder cars took on larger capacity and more powerful engines, a year after the Z3 reached its mid life point and was facelifted. Right at the top of the range came the M Coupe and M Roadster, which were not introduced until 1997, three years after the first Z3s hit the streets. Bringing the Motorsport division's formidable 3.2 litre straight six to the party, though in different states of tune for the US and the rest of the world, these cars broadened the range massively and took it right out of the cosy realm of the affordable two-seater into the expensive indulgence bracket. Now that the Z3 is no more, having given way to the Z4, even the top models will gradually become more affordable on the used car market. No doubt the M models will always remain more expensive than the rest, but the range will continue to offer something for everybody.

Coupes and bmw were, it seems, made for each other.

But the M3 soon became very much more than that. Before long, buyers latched onto its exclusivity and turned it into a status symbol — and BMW was only too happy to exploit that. Within two years of the original car's launch, air conditioning, leather upholstery and a convertible body option took the M3 into the luxury class. But the transition was not made at the expense of the performance and handling that had been the very essence of the original car.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe second-generation E36 car, introduced in 1992, moved from raw 4-cylinder to smooth 6-cylinder power, picking up on the excellence of BMW's small-block 'sixes' and carrying it forward with aplomb. There was more luxury, more body choices as a saloon joined the coupe and convertible models, and yet more performance. A further-developed 6-cylinder was the choice for the third-generation E46 cars introduced in 2000, and with this range BMW finally solved the tricky problem of delivering a racing-style gearshift that would also function as an effortless automatic, when driver or conditions demanded.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRacing was always in the background when the 6-cylinder cars were in production, although in Europe the cars were less prominent in major events because regulations changes had made them less competitive. So when the fourth generation, or E90-series, cars came along in 2007, BMW was determined to get back on the tracks. The new cars, boasting a V8 engine for the first time, not only provided the anticipated driving excitement on the road, but also saw BMW roar back to prominence on the racing circuits in the 2012 German Touring Car Championship. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor all fans of the BMW M3, this book provides essential background.
