Technical Book(s) on the E82?

[bmw1racer]

Being a bimmerphile and a technogeek, I was wondering: Is there a book or books which talk about the 1-Series, particularly the E82 from a technical standpoint?

I'd be fascinated with a book that goes into the details of the concept, design, and engineering of the E82...

"Year One Of The One"?

This was a limited edition given to BMW 1 Series buyers - but only those who bought in Year One (2008).
I don't know the contents exactly, but might be what you're looking for...perhaps.

When I did a search in this forum, I did read about that book, but I was hoping for something more readily available... That can't be the only 1-Series book out there, huh?

Year 1 books were given those those who bought during the first production year. As in cars built from March 2008-March 2009.

You know I've never fully read my book. But as far as I know it is the only one fitting your desires.

Keep an eye out. Members sell their cars and the old books usually end up here for just the cost of shipping not too long after.

I like these two books. The BMW Museum even sells them. lol
