Summary: Factually correct. Almost
Comment: This book started out looking really good. It is full of some of the best pictures of BMW 5-series cars I have seen in a single collection.
However, by the time they get onto the E39 cars, things begin to fall apart. The book becomes factually incorrect. Some of the humdingers include:
1) "All E39 cars came equipped with electric seats". Bolox. Not correct. I have driven two German built cars that had manual seat adjustment
2) The gear selector is moved to the right on right hand drive cars to select manual mode. Rubbish. They all move to the left.
It goes on and on...
Also, being published in 1999, it stops at the launch of the M5. There must be newer, better books available on this subject.

Summary: Incomplete Story
Comment: The book title is incorrect because the story contained within is not complete. There is no mention of the different styles of ventilation control housings underneath the center of the dash panels, in E28 5 series BMW. Illustrations on pages 75, 80 and 96 show different styles E28 vent control and a/c housings, however there is no mention of these differences in any of the text. Appropriate additions should be included in all future editions of an otherwise excellent 5er book.

Summary: Own a 5? Own this.
