Nway I was hooked to say the least and ended up subscribing locally on a monthly basis when it was like $12-15/mag here.
I concur not to mention the style/quality of the photography. I still have classic issues of EVO; CAR; Performance Car; and of course BMW Car (E39 M5 Intro).

They were/are expensive but unmatched by Car and Driver/Road & Track/Motortrend. Although recently Road & Track has made an effort to increase the quality of their content. But still not on equal footing with the Euro Mags.

Honorable mention to “Bimmer” magazine as well.
