well, an interesting technical journal written by Forum member Rob Siegel is invaluable : "Guide to European Automotive Electrical Systems" nothing like it!

And Rob's first book -- Memoirs of a Hack Mechanic -- has a bunch of stuff on Rob's e9, written with Rob's signature style.

Thanks guys, I was looking for a more coffee table kind of thing but I'll check them out.
I bought a wonderful book a little while ago on the restoration of a Ferrari 275 with outstanding art photography of the process of being bought back to life by Bruce Canepa ( the car is well out of my price range but is up there on the list if I ever win lotto ).
I am putting together a photo book of my personal journey of my restoration using Momento but I suspect it will never reach the best sellers list, but will be a nice thing to have telling the story of 2232050

My first suggestion is a coffee table book but you can also search BMW 100 year anniversary & there should be some titles catering to that milestone.

Google should provide some sort of result although an e9 specific book would make the most sense.

How about:
"PLENTY
Vibrant Vegetable Recipes from London's Ottolenghi"

Our cuisine benefitted from that book, and my wife even visited the restaurant when in London.

Connection to BMW? A BMW owner recommended it.

For coffee table book, I would certainly recommend
"BMW profiles 7: BMW coupes: a tradition of elegance. "
It is out of print but you can still find examples on eBay or amazon.

I recently bought the book BMW Classic Coupes while in Germany only to find you can actually get it here for less LOL

It is a great read complete with production tables and other good facts. I totally recommend others to consider this book also.
