New BMW Film - The Escape

My favorite from years ago was "The Star" with Madonna.

I saw this one today as an "ad" that played before another video. The "ad" was better than the video that I was trying to watch.

absolutely loved Star. Many a perfectly timed launch from a stoplight to Song 2.

'Star' really is a great little film. I love all the emphasis on shifting and clutch action.

Clive Owen is perfect in the role as well.

Saw it when it debuted and thought it was great.

I always thought highly of Clive Owens as an actor and pleased that BMW brought him back as the "driver".

I hope there are more to come with the ///M cars

I liked it. I've got the last batch on DVD, back when BMW offered them for free as a promo. They were the inspiration for the first "Transporter" movie with Statham, btw.

Does the M series have a 'twist key to start' function?
Oops.
