A Not So Complete History,
By "czosa" (Yardley, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: BMW Motorcycles: The Complete Story (Hardcover)
This book does cover the history from the start, but it lacks the details to call itself "The Complete Story". I don't know if it's been updated (I believe mine is a first printing) but it only covers to the mid 90'sFalls short of being a good coffee table book due to size (small) and limited amount of photos. And, it falls short of being a good reference book due to limited technical information, organization, and completeness. This book is acceptable overall, but I'd like to find a large format book with color photos of every model, and thorough technical and historical information.

A general history,
By g.j. Meeuwissen (the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: BMW Motorcycles: The Complete Story (Hardcover)
A very nice book about the general history of BMW. Most types are described, without being to technical. There is a tabel with specifications for every model since 1923

BMW Motorcycles The Complete Story,
By Marge - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: BMW Motorcycles: The Complete Story (Hardcover)
My only complaint about this book is that I paid the requested $28.95 and when I received the book from Amazon there was a $19.95 sticker on the back. Why?
