I need a birthday gift for a BMW enthusiast. I was thinking about a coffee table book on BMWs (classic BMW's, history of BMW, etc.).

Anyone have a suggestion? If not, what sit should I visit to ask for help? I'm sure that some of you also hang out on a NAM counterpart for BMW owners/afficionados...

THANKS for the help...

Unbeatable BMW is great. BMW Enthusiast's Companion is also good and is a compilation of alot of good articles from Roundel. Check Amazon or Buy.com for prices.
