The book includes every facet of BMW, from the start in Bavaria with aeroplane engines in 1916 to the full motor-car story, embracing BMW's highy-successful competition activities, and including the BMW motorcycles, the Wartburg story of 1899-1903, the Dixi era spanning the period 1903-1928, and the start of the BMW cars proper in 1928. In addition, derivatives of the make are dealt with, such as Bristol, Frazer Nash-BMW, EMW, Glas, and even some home-constructed cars using BMW components, which bring in a few fascinating cyclecars."

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
