    Which BMW magazine?

    Which BMW magazine does everyone prefer? And does one of the magazines have much more e30 coverage than the others? I realize the e30 is hardly a focus of any car magazines (at least any that I have read) but do any magazines still have articles about e30 track racing and modification? Or am I better off just reading stuff online?

    1) Roundel (BMWCCA magazine) is great because it's more of a purists magazine.
    2) Bimmer is pretty cool for their features like market analysis and tech questions, as well as some new BMW reviews.
    3) Performance BMW is good for crazy modded stuff.

      Usually read Bimmer, its the easiest to get. I also get The quarterly magazine that BMW puts out for owners. Roundel and Grass roots motorsports usually has E30 stuff.

        Thanks for the replies, I picked up a copy of grass roots motorsports a couple of weeks ago actually, definitely a cool mag.

          I like Performance BMW, they tend to have at least one of our cars every couple issues at least. I just go to Barnes & Noble and see what mags apply to me for the month.

              Roundel, GRM, and Total BMW (or BMWCar) are all good candidates. The latter two are UK magazines, so you'll pay out the ass for a subscription.

                  performance bmw is the best by far imo.

                  GRM is the win as well.

                        I like getting Bimmer and BMW car.
                        I usually just read PBMW.
                        and i also get Roundel.
                        They're all pretty good.

                          I kinda like Total BMW, but I really haven't seen enough issues of any of them to make a choice I guess

                            Roundel is a commie magazine.
                            Plus I haven't gotten an issue from them in like 11 months. I need to call them.

                              I don't like Roundel. The columns are boring and the photos are lame.

                              Bimmer is cool, I like their market updates. Not quite as good as Porsche Excellence, as magazines go, but it's cool.

                              BMW CAR is pretty awesome, love all the alpinas and stuff they get their hands on.
                              Not that I care, of course.
