Trace the 50-year success story of BMW's 3-Series in this luxuriously produced and stunningly illustrated volume.

From its launch in 1975 with the 316, the 3-Series has moved from strength to strength, defining what it means to be a performance sedan/coupe/wagon. Beloved by enthusiasts worldwide, it is the series benchmarked by all other manufacturers. Whether daily driven, tracked, or raced, BMW's 3-Series delivers the goods.

BMW 3-Series 50 Years charts the 3-Series' design and technical evolution from the 1970s to today, from the clean, classic two-box design of the E21 and E30 to the handsome E46 to today's sophisticated G20. The book features:

  • A detailed history of the BMW 3-Series by automotive historian and industry analyst Tony Lewin
  • First-person interviews with key designers and engineers
  • Photography from BMW's archive as well as commissioned, contemporary photography
  • Sidebars diving into interesting stories covering design, related models like the Z cars, and the collector perspective
