Unbeatable BMW Eighty Years of Engineering and Motorsport Success by Jeremy Walton Hardcover, 9 by 10 in. 582 pages 503 photographs and illustrations (348 B&W, 155 color) Stock Number: GBUB "Walton covers in great and thorough detail all the obvious topics, from engineering aspects to driver profiles, as well as BMW's accomplishments in aviation and motorcycling." Flying Lady - September/October 2001 See the review or Read the text version Unbeatable BMW is the comprehensive
history of BMW competition from 1917 through 1997. The first edition
of Unbeatable BMW became a cult classic among enthusiasts, but its coverage
was restricted to the years 1959-79. Now, this astounding story has
been massively expanded by the author in a hardcover format, richly
illustrated in 4-color. Jeremy Walton weaves together the tale of BMW's
engineering know-how, daredevil drivers, inimitable team leaders, and
the cars they championed and drove to the winner's circle. Behind BMW's
envied reputation and the whirling-propeller badge are such legends
as the prewar BMW 328 sports cars and the 1990s 200-m.p.h. McLaren/BMW
