Bimmers and the Movies

[NY535iManual]

So here I am, working late, boredly thinking about movies generally, and which movies featured our favorite Bavarian machines. I came up with these six, anybody know of any others (excluding the Bond films)?

1. Ronin, Robert DeNiro, Black e34 M5
2. The Chase, Charlie Sheen (or) Emilio Estevez, Red e36
3. Cat's Cradle, tan e21 320 (just briefly)
4. Goodfellas, Ray Liotta, Ray's Caddie almost plows into the back of a, you guessed it) e21 320.
5. Peacemakers (Peacekeepers?), George Clooney, George's S-Class Benz is chased by bad guys in 3 e28 520s.
6. Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie (Brangelina's minivan is chased by 3 "Fast & Furious" kitted 3ers.

Hmmm- no doubt someone can direct you to a site where this has been examined in detail. One I can add (and remember) is a class driving sequence in Octopussy
(Roger Moore as 007) where they even up chasing a police car gets blocked by another police car (both E28 518i's- real Polizei versions) from chasing Bond. Both are moving at the time one of them spins, so they drive head to head, (one going the wrong way) until the driver pulls a sweet 180 degree turn (in reverse) so they can both go forwards again (fast) and find where Bond and Maud Adams have got to (who are trying to defuse an Atomic Bomb)... I still haven't perfected that maneuvre perfectly myself to this day- I think the e34 is not quite as nimble so you have to be going much faster to succeed... :D

American Beauty (white E36 driven by that annoying chick that doesn't look so good but everyone, for some reason, thinks she does).

"BMW Vermelho" - a decent short from a few years back. Really f'in sad, really.

10) Day after Tomorrow (when the kids are in front of the Library and the Tsunami hits NY) {wonder if Dennis Quaid would have fought his way to NY to save Jake if he knew he'd wind up playing "hide the salami" in a pup tent with Heath on BareBack (oops) I mean BrokeBack Mountain} (LOL) (j/k..no offense to the gay community)

I think there was an e34 in the movie with Christy Ally...I think thats her name, she gets hit by a car (the e34) and goes to Limbo and becomes the toothfairy, you probably see the car for 3 seconds. What was that movie called..hmm

[kyleN20]

[digitaldragon03]

Lost has an E34 in one of the flashbacks.

In Malcolm In The Middle, when Hal has a family reunion, just as they get to the house, you can see the top half (shoulder and up) of an E34 wide grill.
