Default Bmw Short Films

I don't know if anybody has seen these or not. But I thought they were pretty interesting. I think it would be awesome if Lexus has this type of deal also.
These are my two favorite video's, theres more but i think the others are kinda boring.

"Star"

yup, those two are the best imho. the others (5 series by an lee, the z3) are boring. i think the star is the best though. totally show off the m5, though when filming they basically took apart couple of normal 5 series

These are frigging cool. Does BMW shoot them? For what purpose? These have to cost a pretty penny to make.

they were shot couple of years ago for marketing purposes... back when the Z4 was "new"

and same for the 7 and 5 Series films

they used to have a website called bmwfilms.com but they stopped hosting that some time ago. they were pretty good mini-films showing off BMW cars with a quick storyline....Clive Owen was bad-*** in all of them, even if he ultimately wasn't the real driver.

Forget "the Transporter", i enjoy watching the bmw films alot more.

"Star" is my favorite. I like M5s (especially the one hes using), and i like the humor. lol Flight of the Valkyries scene haha.

The Ang Lee one was cool for the driving sequence at the port with all of the shipping containers. BMW was nice enough to send me a DVD with all of these.
