It's all business as usual,,,
The sponsorship of Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol, comes at the expense of Volkswagen’s (VLKAF) Audi brand, which aims to topple BMW as the luxury car leader by 2015. Propaganda GEM, the Hollywood product placement agency (that helped Audi boost its image with high-profile car appearances in such films as I, Robot and Transporter 2 and 3,)- set up the deal for BMW shortly after ending a 15-year relationship advising Audi. BMW is betting its participation in the fourth installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise, which has averaged 1.1 billion viewers per film, could help widen its lead over Audi. Forecaster IHS Automotive (IHS) predicts BMW sales will climb 39 percent by 2015, to 1.86 million vehicles, 170,000 more than Audi.

From now on, I will only watch movies that have a disclaimer that "No BMWs were harmed in the making of this movie"

i cried inside.... and outside too.
I talked to a BMW driving instructor over the weekend asking what do they do with cars used for autocross, production cars and special events like this - they simply crush them. So think about the perfectly good S55 engines getting an early death...

Maybe they shipped them to the NJ VPC and that's what is holding everything up...

Exactly! To save money, they use body kits. In the original Miami Vice TV series, they used a Ferrari replica car instead of an actual Ferrari.

Well, they can't all be fakes. In the picture where the car does not have a hood, that is definitely an M motor, not a regular 3-series.

It's not a loss for anybody, really. It's very good marketing for BMW.

Is that a wrecked e39 5 series behind the M3 in the third to last Pic?
I will have to see the movie now, $1 rental on Red Box in a few months time. |
