Winter Reading - Z4 Design and Development

If you're like me, over the winter months you probably gobble up as much Z4 related reading material as you can. It seems to take the edge off the fact that the car is in storage for a few months yet (cursed groundhog!).

So, in my endless quest for Z4 info, I came across an interesting book on eBay entitled "BMW Z4, Design Development and Production". Its a nice hard cover book, 100 pages or so, with background on the car's design and lots of color illustrations. At only $19, its a steal. Mine arrived yesterday (securely packaged and wrapped in a gift ribbon, no less!) and I'm halfway through it already.

If you are interested and don't already have this one, just search for "BMW Z4 Book" on eBay and you should find it quickly.

Cheers!

Nice book as I got it for x-mas in 2008. I wore the pages out of it. My only issue is that it only covers up till about 2005(no-M or si specs or mention of them) Just m54(sb30-sb25 and sb22) engine specs and none on the n52b30 or s54. But it is worth getting . A lot of neat info to see and read. Awesome radiant temperature picture in there too. Makes me even prouder to own as I see all the development and hard work that went into our cars.

I know in my case, I went back and looked through a lot of them when I first joined, and read those threads that seemed interesting. Even with that, I only recently found out about the book, and not from this forum.

Cheers!
