BMW - The Racing Story by Mick Walker

The BMW racing story is an example to all of how patient development of basically sound design can achieve success. The famous German marque began racing during the early 1920s with machines fitted with the same configuration of horizontally opposed twin-cylinder engine that it still uses today. over eighty years later.

This history, both before and after World War II, is within but this book covers much more: the American scene, where BMW has had a major presence for many years, record-breaking and endurance racing; the K series 4-cylinder, the 4-valve twins, which arrived in the early 1990s and finally the great successes gained by the F650-based single in the European and British Supermono series.
