    Default A good 5 series read

    I just bought this book on ebay (it's fake ) and it's a really good read. Not only heaps on the E34 including Alpina and Hartge but also the other 5s up to the E39. Worth a look if you see it about.

    Cheers

    Haha... just to tell you how long I've been around... I remember when he was writing that book.

    Don't buy fake ones tho... support the 5-series community!

    The vital question is: are there a lot of pretty pictures?

    I had bought this book a couple of weeks back:
    BMW 5 Series by Marc Cranswick.

    Cost me AU$80. It's a good read, I'm starting to collect anything I can that is specific to 5 series and moreso E34s. I have this book now, and a Fujimi plastic 535i model that I have yet to assemble. I was outbid on a 1:18 E34 535i Minichamps model on eBay Australia, still spewing over that one!
