BMW Films

The ultimate in product placement

Would recommend the Guy RichTea one, Madonna being flung about in the back of an M5 which is 'making progress'

[danger mouse]

Is that not what going on with the "Luck Star" Trailer in the cinemas at the moment. I haven't seen it but I've been told if you go to the website, its all just a Merc Adevrtising hoax.

Shame 'cos it looked like it might be a good film.

I'm off to thumb a lift on the next passing band wagon... putting dodgey photoshop piccies on the webb that look crap, then actually building them.

Ooooops I was wrong. Just had quick look. Not a Merc Hoax, but seedy Las Vagas gambling den hoax. Probably worth a look if I wasn't searching from a government intranet......mmmm.

I think it was at www.luckyluckystar.com , but it just redirects you to mercedes-benz.co.uk now...

My Mate Rich, who posts on here as C8 UF0, knows a guy who does promotional work for BMW. He leant us a copy of all the BM vids on VHS. They are absolutely brilliant! The video of the M5 with Madonna in the back is probably the best bit of hooning around i have ever seen on film! The handbrake turn across the highstreet outside the cinema at the end is a joy to behold!

At last I've drawn you out of the wood work, I knew you would be far better informed than I.

Thankyou!

I have these on R1 DVD !

From what i remember i just emailed the webmaster and said I was on 56K and couldnt really watch them properly, and i would like to see them on a proper DVD system as they looked good films!

I then got an email asking for my address and then got a DVD sent.

Worth a shot people, and its something for nowt!

I also have these on R1, and I have peviously offered to lend this to any Pistonheaders who wish to have a gander.

Email me if you want to have a look.

Where did you get the DVD from, Can I send off for one?

[andrewh]

For anyone who wants the films on dvd go to www.bmwfilms.com

Skip the intro then click on help at the bottom of the screen email the site representative asking for the films on dvd.

Your dvd will need to play region 1 though.

Some of the BMW films seem to be available to download from KaZaA. I haven't tried yet though so don't know what the quality is like.
