BMW by Design by Steve Saxty (Seven Spoke Publishing)

Steve Saxty’s “BMW Behind The Scenes” establishes new standards for automotive literature through unprecedented access to BMW’s design studios and archives. The author’s unrestricted conversations with designers, engineers and executives, conducted without PR oversight, deliver fresh insights into both classic and contemporary BMW design philosophy.

The three-volume collection, comprising “BMW by Design”, “BMW Art by Design” and “BMW’s Hidden Gems”, offers unprecedented documentation of previously unseen vehicles and design studies. Its success is demonstrated by three-quarters of buyers selecting the signed, limited-edition trilogy, with the 1500-unit run nearly exhausted within six months.

This comprehensive work redefines automotive publishing by combining privileged access, artistic appreciation and historical revelation, whilst appealing to both classic and contemporary BMW enthusiasts.
