were those mbz or bimmers?

also what was that bond movie where he is driving a tank and rolling over cars? i don't remember if that was pierce brosnan.

In the movie S.W.A.T., there is a scene where a bus is carrying some dangerous prisoners to another prison, and in one frame, there is a white 124 driving in front of the bus. Not sure if it was diesel or gasser, but the body and color was my car exactly. It was by far the most exciting part of the movie for me.

In this movie called "Brown Sugar", there's two W123s in it, a good looking 300TD in a flashback to the year 1983 since I'm sure they never sold 240TD or gasser wagons here, and a 300CDT, parked on the street behind a guy being interviewed.

There's a birth control commercial out, I'm not sure which brand, in which an analogy is made between finding the 'right' pill and finding the 'right' boy. The protagonist is shown on dates with various wrong men, and then we see her happily laughing with the 'right' boy (which I guess means she'll soon need those littlepills)... and the boy of choice appears to be driving a w116 or w123 -- i.e. the right car

The right boys always drive W123s... if only so many of the young ladies here could figure that out. They think it's all about the W140s and W220s now.

I had picked up on that too and you're close, it was actually a 108/109.

The Bruce Willis movie was "Die Hard with a Vengance"

Theres a Bacardi(?) commercial out now and right at the beginning of it theres a 123 you can see under an arched driveway entrance to a fancy house.

Dont forget the 240DL in one of the Godfather movies

Naomi Watts drives a Black W123 300TD Wagon with limo-tint in the indie film We Dont Live Here Anymore, which was released this past summer. There are considerable amounts of footage that include the car. The Film also stars Mark Ruffalo. Check out the official We Dont Live Here Anymore websiter for the trailer, in which the 300TD is being driven in, walked away from, etc.

'Blow' a movie from 2000 or 2001, Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz, the scene where Johnny Depp gets shot in the shoulder. The bad-guy Colombians drive up to the motel (where our hero is waiting to do a drug deal) in a diesel Benz, you can clearly hear the 'clatta-clatta' on the soundtrack. It's either a W116 or a W123.

Yes, I have a W116 fetish :-)

I saw the old TV series "Simon & Simon" yesterday, and there was a W126 in it, I'm presuming it was a 300SD, since the majority of U.S. W126s were SDs in 1982, it looked too modern and out of place with all of those 1977 Plymouth Gran Fury police cars and all those other mid-late 70's big floaty American cars around it. And on today's episode, there was a 1980 or 1981 yellowish 300D being valet parked by "A.J." in the beginning of the episode.

Let's not forget that J.R.'s wife Sue Ellen drove a 300 TD in "Dallas". Larry

"Tomorrow Never Dies"

In this bond movie the villans drive up to bonds beamer or whatever it was as he was supposed to be assisinated in the motel room. They drive up to his well protected car in a diesel powered w126...black...you can hear it clatter.

Its midway though the film, just look for the gunman and the cool remote controlled car chase scene...then just rewind a little

you will find many W123 and 190 series mercedes in steven seagal movies.
