Movies with E30's in them....

Bimmerfanatik · 05-04-2005, 09:10 PM

Just saw three movies in the past week with E30's in them. Just wanted to see what else people have seen them pop up in....

1. A Civil Action - one of the lawyers drives a black E30
2. Days of Thunder - Nicole Kidman drives a white E30
3. Last Run - there's a pretty decent dirt road chase with a black E30 M3

Where else have you seen them?

The "Godfather" drives a red E30 sedan. There are also two other ones in that movie in the background. (Old School).

That broad from Zoolander drives a 4 door.

Theres an e30 m3 in Eyes Wide Shut. I think its at about 55 minutes, might be at an hour and 55 minutes. It appears to be Henna.

Dammit, one of my favorite movies and I forgot that. Sumbitch. Thanks for the reminder, though.

Good to see I'm not the only one that notices the beloved e30 in the movies when they get their screen time! Keep 'em comin.

First, either you're just that good, or that was a list you had/found

Either way, good for you.

Second, forgot about Thrunderbolt. For a crap ass movie, it was good for the race scenes...especially the M's

i cant remember if it was an old eta, or a 5 series, but in "Snatch" the two black guys are sitting in the car and say something like, "whos gonna rob a couple of black fellas sittin in a car thats worth less than your shirt?" then bullet-tooth tony walks up... Anyway what a great movie, my favorite.
