    doing a report on bmw motorsport

    i am doing a 10+ page report on the history of bmw motorsports for my composition class.
    i need at least 15 sources.
    currently i have the book unbeatable bmw (excellent, tons of info)
    and a few websites

    do you guys know of any good websites that i can use as sources?

    First off, tight idea.

    Second, I read a book about BMW M cars.... i'd say just search you libraby catalog for M and BMW...... it had M5, M6 maybe....... but most importantly it explained all 3 Evo's of the E30 M3. It would help describe the championship-winner!

    Finally, good luck!

    Hold on, before i submitted, i did a little search, maybe the books will be helpful:

      Bmw M-Series: The Complete Story
      by Alan Henry

      Reviewer: jacflash (see more about me) from Acton, MA USA
      I've now read several of the books in the "Complete Story" series, and they seem to be typified by indifferent writing quality, a very heavy UK slant, insane chapter ordering, and a general sense that they were tossed off in a weekend by a third-tier writer. This book has way too much focus on racing, not enough on the cars, and not enough on the M organization. Unfortunately, though, English-language BMW M info is slim, and this book isn't much worse than the rest of what's available. Go ahead and buy it if you're desperate.

          I hope you don't think this is a cheap way out, but it always worked for me: check the bibliography of the book you've already got.

          It's not as interesting as some other methods, but it works.

          Nice choice of topic, by the way.

            Capital idea! I've used that tactic when locating sources for a report.

            As for the topic of the paper, excellent choice. Keep us posted on its development.
