I have to do a web page for adv. web page design. It is do with art form or something. So I asked my teacher if I could do it on the highlights of the history of ///M racing. He rluctently said "yes." I need to find like a good web sight that has some info on it, and or a book i could check out from the library. Also if you guys could send me one or two pictures of your guys' cars for my gallery to trizac_tb@hotmail.com . Thanks a lot guys, you are the bestest!

as a start go to: amazon.com do a search under "BMW M" you will find at least 4 books. Also check BMW's international website:
BMW M

What I meant to say was the actual ///M heritage itself, not just ///M racing.

Seems to me I saw a good show on Speedvision (I think?) A few weeks ago about the M series.

At the M5 Driving Experience they gave us a gift of a huge book called "BMW M Power" - a publication of BMW M GmbH - the entire history of M up to the 2000 M5.

Maybe someone near you has a copy of the book they can lend you? (Where do you live?)

Here is a nice pic. Phil Seastrand has the original, higher-res version.....

Hmm, the book would be so perfect. I dont know anybody with an ///M car that lives near me. I dont suppose you want to scan the book and send it to me.

The ///M history on Speedvision repeats periodically. Check out this thread.

If you don't find something on Amazon.com, I found some books on BMW Motorsports at Barnes & Noble. You might try them, or Borders, or other large booksellers in your area.

I think you're in the same neck of the woods as Phil Seastrand. Suggest you try him....
