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.
But I guess that dosent do you any good...

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.....

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....
