E30's in the movies!

[Jand3rson]

Just because I'm such a film nerd, and I point them out in every movie I see, I thought I would compile a list of all the movies that I've seen E30's in.

Zoolander - Matilda Jeffries (Christine Taylor) drives a silver plastic bumper 325i.
They Live - Roddy Piper gets picked up in a silver 88 325.
Pulp Fiction - Jules and Vincent pass a henna 84 or 85 E30 on the street on the way up to see Brett.
White Chicks - Girls all ride in a red E30 cabrio while singing a Michelle Branch song.
Paid in Full - A 325i with an Erebuni "testarossa look" body kit, a stock 325i, and a white E30 M3 all roll past a club in the opeing scenes of the movie.
Thunderbolt - Jackie Chan races in the JTCC against 2 E30 M3's.
Saving Silverman - Daren drives a red E30.

The rest of these are from E30zone.uk. I'm not sure of the scenes, this is all the info they give:

PCU? David spade drives a vert
Mothman Prophecies? they crash a vert
old school - yea it was a red E30
saw a movie about a kid being kidnapped or something, an E30 was one of the main vehicles used.
they trashed a e30 on Trigger Happy Tv pretending to run a parking lot
in Saving silverman, i thought Darren drove a Vespa? and Judith drove a 328

ever since i got my e30 i have noticed 1 in almost every movie i watch. You either see one as being a characters vehicle or else its parked on the street. Just look around more and you'll notice it.

PS - i also notice mistakes (i.e. stunt doubles, busted windows or cracked body parts being ok in the next screen shot, little things like that) i hate that i do it but i cant help it.

Bird on a Wire. Saw it one the plane, shitty movie.

About the stunt doubles thing...ever watch the ronin dvd, where frankenheimer (also director of Gran Prix and the first For Hire film) does the voice over?

The film of the S8 is taken from an E500 with a camera trailer attached.

Also, in the e34 M5 scene, the car that actually wrecks is a 525. God bless him for preserving the marque, may he rest in peace.

Pretty sure that's right, neither of them drove an E30.

In the movie Groove, about raving at a warehouse, there are candid shots of E30's all around when you see city streets. Its the same '88 325 in white.

Other than that, thats all I know. I need to go rent some movies!
