Celebrate over a century of German automotive excellence with "The BMW Century: A Century of Two and Four-Wheeled Rides." This captivating book is a treasure trove of images, history, and in-depth reviews of the incredible machines BMW has crafted year after year.

Established in 1916, BMW is one of the automotive and motorcycle industry's oldest and most-respected manufacturers. Over the past 100-plus years, the company has undergone myriad transformations.

The BMW Century chronicles this remarkable transportation story through the cars and motorcycles manufactured, from the 1923 R32 motorcycle to today's sleek electric, hybrid, and high-performance vehicles.

The BMW Century showcases how the company's visionary team systematically rebuilt BMW in the post-World War II years into the spectacular success we know today—a company with sales in excess of two million cars annually, led by its top-selling 3-series.

BMW's motorcycle division is no less legendary. It began with the 1923 avant-garde R32, featuring a 180-degree, horizontally opposed twin, the engine configuration that would become BMW'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 three- and four-cylinder machines to their offerings, culminating in today's spectacular S1000RR sport bike.

From the pre-war motorcycles to the iconic R-series twins of the 1970s and 80s to the mighty M-cars and superbikes of today, The BMW Century offers a comprehensive review of German engineering at its zenith. The book is lavishly illustrated with hundreds of historic, contemporary, and racing photographs—many sourced from BMW's historic archives—and thorough text covering BMW's full history.

This is the one volume no BMW aficionado will want to be without.
