BMW Archive

Yes. We source originals from dealer liquidations, private collections, and museum archives, then authenticate and scan them. Automobilisto is independent and not affiliated with Bmw. The documents remain Bmw's intellectual property. We provide the archive infrastructure and editorial metadata.

Search by model name and year, like 'Bmw 3 Series 1990'. Use the decade filter on model pages. Keep in mind brochures were typically printed 6–12 months before the model year launched. If your year's missing, check adjacent years—you'll often find overlap.

Absolutely. Hit the 'Request a PDF' button and tell us the brand, model, year, and market. If you own an original brochure, email [email protected]. We credit all contributors and actively hunt for documents our community points us toward.

We hold documents in 33 language markets: German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Czech, Hungarian, Croatian, Russian, Turkish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Indonesian, Malaysian, Indian, Egyptian, South African, and others. Coverage varies by era and model.

These are for personal research and academic study. The documents remain Bmw's intellectual property—commercial use needs their permission. If you publish findings, cite the original manufacturer and year, then credit Automobilisto as the archive source.

We add documents after sourcing, authenticating, cataloging, and editorial review. Check the 'Recently Added' section to see fresh uploads. Major batch additions get announced via our newsletter—subscribe to stay in the loop.
