Three Book Boxed Set
This hand-finished, highly exclusive three-book collection takes you deep into the BMW design vault – a trilogy of complementary titles.

1: BMW by Design
An octane-fueled journey across the decades with BMW Design. Watch the designers at work as they create the classic of the past, the cars we can buy today and dive deep into the shape of BMWs from the future. A unique first-of-its-kind book that tells the story of BMW’s concept cars and the series production vehicles they inspired. Essential reading for classic enthusiasts and owners of modern cars alike.
2: BMW’s Hidden Gems
Takes the reader behind the VIP rope to peek at ten previously untold stories and unseen cars, presented here for the very first time. This treasure trove is brought to life via fold-out illustrations and never-before-seen artworks by Seventies design maestro Paul Bracq. From the secret life of the BMW Z1 to the unseen early-Noughties 2002 rebirth – with all manner of plot-twists in between – across 228 pages your jaw will repeatedly drop to the floor.
3: BMW Art by Design
“The idea behind this book was simple enough: to pick out creative highlights from BMW Design’s archives from the 1970s to the present.
I looked at thousands of design sketches while researching the BMW Behind the Scenes books and seeing so many marvelous pieces of art made me think that presenting a selection in an elegant book would be a perfect way of rounding out the set. My hope is that the images in these pages – and the accompanying giclée art-quality prints – speak for themselves.
To accompany the images you’re about to see, I asked the designers to tell the stories behind their work. In the deliberately brief text, there’s also introduction to each designer and a snippet about the BMW they drew.
I hope you find the selection a perfect way of relaxing with your favorite drink as you enjoy a rare insight into the artistic ability of leading car designers, and that the art prints find a home on your walls.”
