BMW M3 & M4 : The complete history of these ultimate driving machines

The BMW M3 was developed in the 1980s, and was intended to be the world's most successful racing saloon car. Not only did it achieve that in its very first season of motorsport, but went on to achieve lasting commercial success as a high performance road car, with over 300,000 units sold.
Between 1987 and 2004, the naturally aspirated 2.3-litre E30 M3 won the 24 Hours of Nürburgring five times, and won the Spa 24 Hours four times.

Gaining titles in World, Euro, British, Italian, German and Australian Touring Car Championships, the M3 also competed as a rally car, contesting national and World Rally Championship rounds between 1987 and 1989, and, in the hands of Bernard Béguin gained a victory on the Tour de Corse in '87.

BMW M5 - The Complete Story

BMW's M5 was a simple concept: a production 5 Series saloon re-developed for high performance by the Motorsport division. The M5 was the car that really initiated the legend of the M-cars from BMW.

The letter M has been applied to a high-performance BMW as early as 1978, but that year's M1 was an exotic supercar. It had the right image, but the M1 was never going to bring in major profits.
The M5 was much simpler in concept. It was and remains a production 5 Series saloon, redeveloped for ultra-high performance. Manufacturing costs were minimized, allowing BMW to price the car more attractively and still bring in healthy profits.

This book charts the development of the M5 across five generations. For all fans of the BMW M5, this book provides essential background. It is packed with the facts and details that make the M5 legend come alive.
