Great resource, thank you for sharing the link.

Thank you for this. So much nostalgia.

BMWGirlFL · 11-15-2021, 06:38 PM

I've found other market brochures very helpful in understanding equipment details. Also enjoy looking back.

Great post, tons of nostalgia. I still have the brochures for my son's 323i and X3, they are so cool to look back at, very interesting to see how they marketed the cars.

Specs often useful too. I've kept brochures & stickers from all of my new cars. Bought one from another market on eBay for the Z4.

If anyone wants one of these, I'd suggest downloading it now and saving the file just in case this resource disappears at some point.

As an aside, I have saved old brochures over the decades just so I'd have them but at some point realized some might have value such as an original 1988 E30 M3 brochure, original E28 M5 brochure, etc. They are in near new condition (well, the salesman stapled his card to the front of the M5 one). However, with reproductions being made of those and pdf files available, I doubt anyone is really interested in them.

Yeah, I saw that! On further thought there are probably some E30 M3 and E28 M5 owners who would like to have an original brochure in excellent condition.

Thanks!

A bit more heritage.

BMW 2000 CS, wonder if the grilles were controversial at the time?
