i travel a lot, and would love to buy bmw-centric mags for plane trips.

i've come across "BMW Magazine" (UK publication) at Barnes and Nobles, and loved it.

but before i plunk down the stiff subscription rate for US-based delivery, i was wondering if i could get suggestions on other rags that i might not know about.
hopefully they have a web link so i can check them out.

somehow road & track and car & driver don't cut it for me...thanks!

Not sure where in the Bay Area you are but I get a bunch of British car mags from Tower Records and/or Barnes and Noble (Top Gear, Car, plus a number of UK BMW mags). They get a few copies in within a week of publication in the UK, benefit is you can take a quick look at the content before forking out the cash. US subscription rates can be pretty pricey (especially with the current exchange rates).

top gear, huh? i've heard of it, never really seen it.

i'm in the east bay. i was thinking maybe fry's has a selection as well. i don't remember if they had top gear.

i don't have any tower records near me, i think.

thanks for the tip!

Have you joined the BMW Car Club of America? There is a good magazine subscription that you get as part of your membership.

Try border's book. Much better than barnes & noble.

There are two bigger border's in east bay.

One is right by the theatres in union city, the other is in fremont (mowry ave and fremont blvd).

What about BIMMER MAGAZINE?
