No mention of the 8 Series?

It's a pretty poor book that calls itself by this title and then has NO mention of the E31 or M8. Maybe it wasn't the success the factory was looking for but the M8 spawned 8 Series. The author also attributes the S70 engine to the 7 Series. That engine was used in the E31 for 10 years and is a direct decendant from the M8. I'm donating my book to a homeless shelter. I gave it 2 stars because it did have one picture of an E31. This is an incomplete reference book.
