E30 325i Rag-Top 2963 Report post Posted July 14, 2015 As some will know BMW have teamed up with the Mission Impossible series on the latest movie. From the photos it looks like they had to have a few takes on some of the action scenes... I wonder what will happen to those cars now., off to the recycling centre I think. What a shame, I'm sure I could save most of those. I'll try not to cry when I think of them when watching the film.. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gaz 1062 Report post Posted July 14, 2015 I have noticed that in a lot of movies they tend to use BMWs. Seen a lot of e30s, e34s etc crashed off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MD13 496 Report post Posted July 14, 2015 I don't mind when they wreck new models. Hurts watching desirable vintage classics destroyed! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's Ok as long as they aren't crashing any of them, they're not making any more of those classics! Product Placement in movies is an industry all to itself now, gone are they days when the film company had to buy cars to use in films! Now the M3 has unique body panels all over it isn't possible to "dress up" a cheaper car to use as a prop. Plus it is cheaper to put a standard car through production than try to build a "special" to save money! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Event Horizon 12 Report post Posted July 15, 2015 They're going to produce probably over 10,000 of them and you can bet your bottom dollar that this was paid for with the marketing budget. No great loss. S1000rr's are in the movie too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aja540i 1906 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 Just saw the movie, that poor car, also evidently no side airbags in the new model ! Almost seems unbelieveable Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
