Product Description -
Celebrate more than 100 years of Germanya€s best two- and four-wheeled rides. This handsome volume is filled with images, history, and in-depth review of the incredible machines BMW has created year after year. Established in 1916, BMW is one of the automotive and motorcycle industrya€s oldest and most-respected manufacturers. Over the past 100-plus years, the company has passed through myriad incarnations. TheA BMW Centurychronicles this remarkable transportation story through the cars and motorcycles manufactured, from the 1923 R32 motorcycle to todaya€s sleek electric, hybrid, and high-performance cars. The BMW Century showcases how the companya€s visionary team systematically rebuilt BMW in the post-World War II years into the spectacular success we know todaya€”a company with sales in excess of two million cars annually, led by its top-selling 3-series. BMWa€s motorcycle division is no less legendary. It began with the 1923 avant-garde R32, which featured a 180-degree, horizontally opposed twin, the engine configuration that would become BMWa€s hallmark. Over the decades, BMW used that configuration to power groundbreaking machines like the R90S, R100RS, and R80GS. Beginning in 1983, the company added add three- and four-cylinder machines to their offerings, culminating in todaya€s spectacular S1000RR sport bike. From the pre-war motorcycles to the iconic R-series twins of the 1970s and a€80s to the mighty M-cars and superbikes of today, TheA BMW Century offers a full review of German engineering at its zenith. The book is illustrated generously with hundreds of historic, contemporary, and racing photographsa€”many sourced from BMWa€s historic archivesa€”and thorough text covering BMWa€s full history. This is the one volume no BMW aficionado will want to be without.
