Tazio 5 is ready. This is our first special, 160 pages dedicated to the 50 years anniversary of BMW Motorsport. We think it’s our best one yet.

Also starring: the BMW 3.0 CSL Group 2, the Brabham BT52, the 1992 Spa 24-winning BMW E30 M3, the 1999 Le Mans 24-winning BMW V12 LMR, the M3, M4 and Class 1 M4 DTM and the 6-series ‘shark nose’ Group A.
Our best one yet
We made it, delivered it to the printer’s, took a step back and concluded: yep, this is the one. It’s our best one yet. We have worked a bit more on the cover, the combination of our art-director Maarten Deckers and Rafael Varela combining their forces to create a cover that is… well, we are definitely going to make a poster of this one for ourselves. If you want one too, just ask us for a price quote.
