BMW's " the Hire" Series.

Awesome short film series made a few years ago by BMW.  StarringClive Owen as "The Driver", and starring various other guest stars such as, Gary Oldman, Danny Trejo, Madonna, Forrest Whittaker, Mickey Rourke, Don Cheadle, and others.  Each episode is directed by a famous Hollywood Director/Producer, including Tony Scott, John Frankenheimer, Ang Lee and Guy Ritchie.

Awesome movies, the first series features various 5 series, inc. the e39 M5, the second season only features the Z4. 

Not trying to start BMW vs audi, i just thought they were a cool series of films.

Star and Follow are the best, I think.

Follow is great because it does what vitually no other sub 10 minute short film I've seen can do, it gave a backstory to the character. You get to see that he's a man of morals, despite his morally flexible occupation, you see that his wife either left him or died, and you see the introspective and lonely nature of a tail job. In a four second shot of the wife, the point of the entire thing is made. It's more simple and clean than virtually any other short film, yet it tells it's story ten times better.

Uh, sorry, I'm better now. M5s just give me the tickle in the trousers.



Also worth noting is that it was this series of shorts by BMW that inspired both Transporter films.

I got that on DVD when it was new and everything.
