Visiting factories throughout Germany and in the United States he offers readers a rare, behind the scenes, nuts-and-bolts account of how BMW produces its famed models. Illustrated with rare photographs from BMWs own archives, this book constitutes an unprecedented tour of the history and culture of one of the worlds great automakers.
