Werke

Post by JCC »

YouTube have a video at Munich Legends in the Fall 2025 which features the Alpina 60 years. Towards the end there is a brief bit on this magazine - Werke. I had never even heard of it but the magazines are excellent - quarterly £12.99 plus postage, all BMW content.
The current Issue 06 has 50 pages on the 60 years of Alpina. Interesting, well written and good pictures. High quality magazines to keep.
I used to get Autocar every week and Car and EVO monthly but there is so little content of interest to me now, I just get Car and an odd EVO but I rarely keep them.

Will Beaumont/Stephen Dobie - ex EVO? Henry Catchpole and Antony Ingram feature too.
I think most on here would think at least Issue 6 worth trying.
Issue 3 also has an excellent 7 generations of the 7 series feature - my uncle had an E32 735i which started my love of BMWs - my father had a W123 230TE at the time - an unfair comparison but probs why I have never bought a Mercedes.

Looks like a decent read, Im in, I love car magazines, even the older ones when they filled the shelves at WH Smith (other newsagents are available!)
