The series was attributed to the German automobile firm BMW, implying that they provided some of its key financial backing.
The series also included a three-part set of episodes entitled The History of BMW Motorsport.
Approximately 200 half-hour episodes were made and aired between the years 1996 and 2000, all based around vintage automobile (and motorcycle) footage.
The majority of the episodes consisted of an apparently complete old documentary film (sometimes with scratches) produced by an automotive vendor.
These thirty or so episodes continued to be reshown on Speed Channel, usually early every weekday morning, seeming like a sort of homage to the old image of Speedvision.
