Rent the movie "the transporter" its at blockbusters new release section.

BMW must have paid good for the product placement. The BMW 7 series was kicking but throughout half the movie, and then when the MB S class first came on (30 seconds later it gets smashed and messed up), lol.

Its a good action type movie with great driving stunts in the begaining.

Also "tommorow never dies" was somewhat like that, the BMW kicks butt and the MBs, cadillac catera, etc. gets blown up and messed up, lol.

This is one of the worst produced movie I had ever seen. The stunts really killed it. Having cars(w140) blow up a full second before impact, having the main character jump backwards into the truck, yet from a different angle he's jumping in forwards, having the gun bounce once after falling out from a moving truck at high speeds, etc. Nothing in there was believable! This movie has so many faults that its not even funny. The chase in the movie with the 2 or 3 trucks ends with a capture of just one of the trucks and all of the sudden the movie is over. Lots of BS.

The only reason anyone would want to see the movie is to see a BMW get trashed and several sad scenes where w140's pay the ultimate price.

I liked Transporter so much I bought it!

Payback is a great movie Not in the same league

I still cringe when Mel Gibson's character gets tortured by having his toes whacked systematically with a sledgehammer!

The sum of money was ridiculous for such brutality but I guess "its the principle of the whole thing" LOL

Favorite quote: "Thats just plain mean!", after Mel plugs the crocodile leather suitcases

Snibble-true true, but i think the first 20 minutes of the movie was worth watching. I still have the movie so i might watch it again tonight and see the 140 blowup scene.

I kind of want a bmw 7 series now. I have always liked the 7 series for some reason. He drives a 735i in that movie right, is it availible in the U.S. in stickshift?

Oh that movie gave me a good idea, did you see how towards the end of the movie, the bad guy pulled a sawed off shotgun from the sunroof vent slot in the s class? lol

He said it was a '99 , 735 BMW . Cool car . Good driving . Poor plot .

I like the ignition system and i like the switching license plate the most, lol. Yeah i agree the plot was terrible. I guess it proves the bmws are the "ultimate driving machine", lol

would have been 10x better if it was a 750il... then he wouldn't have to worry about power. I agree it was kinda lame.

Stick helps (E39 M5 in star and chosen BMW films, E34 M5 in Ronin) but if you're gonna have a 7 series, you have to go with the 750il (Tomorrow Never Dies).
