Now a selection of articles on driving, performance, service and tech tips have been collected in a single book.

Find out how to properly wash and wax your car without damaging the paint, and how to reset the service indicator lights. -Driving techniques ranging from basic car control to choosing apexes on the track. Discover whether your car understeers or oversteers, and how weight transfer affects traction and vehicle dynamics. -Learn the difference between torque and horsepower, how to select the right tires for your BMW, which performance modifications work and which ones don't. Organized and indexed for quick access and easy use, this book contains extensive driving and performance tuning information. Favorite articles and series are bundled together, such as On Driving and Shade Tree Topics. "BMW Enthusiast's Companion" is a must-have for all BMW owners and enthusiasts. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not my first choiceNot my first choice when looking for E30 info. Somewhat a compilation of owner comments and very old tech articles. There are much, much better books out there such as the Bentley repair manual, the E30 restoration bible, the 3 series history and others. Keep looking and don't spend your money here first. Rating: - GOOD IF YOU HAVE AN OLDER BMWInteresting reading, but geared more to the older cars Rating:  - Enthusiasts guide review - for older carsFound many of the articles dated over ten years old and where some withstand the test of time, most are relative to the older, now very used cars. Rate a 2 star due to historical perspective Caveat Emptor Rating: - Good for "old school"This is a well established book with a very credible track record, however, it is misleading having the hood of a BMW E36 on the cover. The E36 is a modern BMW by all standards; this book has about three two-paragraph articles on that car while all the other stories and pages pertain to the E30 (1983-1992) and earlier cars. If you are the owner or if you are fascinated with how to work on cars older than 15 years, this book is for you. Rating:  - Book for old BMW'sForget this book unless you own a pre 2000 BMW. Most, if not all, of the information provided can be found on the web. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Browse for similar items by category:
