Editorial Review: Product Description: Bimmerphiles rejoice! At last, the book youve been waiting for. Jonathan Cohen fully examines the history and development of these exhilarating performance cars beginning in the late 1960s on up to the present. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - great book for BMW, Alpina, and Schnitzer background infoThis is a very good book. Goes into great detail on BMW's history of performance special cars, how this came about, and where Alpina and Schnitzer and even Hartge fit into this.

What suprised me the most was the in depth information and nice pics about Alpina, featuring the B10 BiTurbo, B12, B8 4,6 (3 series with 333 HP V8) and early B7 Turbo models. Info about ALL Alpina models and M models! Also mentioning some Hartge models, AC Schnitzer CLS II and CLS III. As I said earlier, the definite book regarding ...
