Description

BMW, that most performance-oriented of car companies, had no affordable sports roadster in its line-up before 1995. Stung into action by Mazda's revival of the classic two-seater roadster, the Germany company quickly staked its claim with the Z3, a classic long-nose, short-tail design that used existing BMW mechanical hardware to good effect. This new book tells the story of BMW's Z3 and Z4 two-seater roadsters and coups, which since 1995 have been at the forefront of the affordable sports car market. AUTHOR: James Taylor has been writing professionally about road transport since the late 1970s. He enjoys keeping abreast of current special-interest models such as BMW Z roadsters because, he believes, today's interesting cars are tomorrow's classics. James has written well over 100 books in all, and among them have been several definitive one-make or one-model titles, including a number for the Crowood Press. SELLING POINTS: . A complete motoring history of all three generations of BMWs 'affordable roadsters' which concludes - as BMW enthusiasts already know - that the two-seater BMW is here to stay. .

Profusely illustrated with over 200 colour photographs and diagrams. .
