Thumbs down BMW Films - The Hire Series

Hey, I'm sure many of you are familiar with the BMW Films series The Hire, with Clive Owen. The films range from the MY01 vechiles like the M5, and Z3 3.0, to the X5, and newer ones like the Z4 3.0. The films star top notch actors like Don Cheadle, Lois Smith, Ray Liotta, Micky Rourke, Ardriana Lima and Madonna. Anyway, point being is that the films are all free to stream and they are awesome if you are an enthusiast and love great driving sequences. Im not tyring to sell you a BMW, i just think the films are great and tonight is the LAST NIGHT that they are available on the site. so head over to BMW Films and check them out. You can order a DVD too if you want.

i agree, the directors that have participated alone are worth taking a look at them. each one is so different in style, but they are all so polished and well made. to put it simply, they are the absolute best commercials you will ever see.

yea she was in whichever one had the Z3 3.0 roadster. Micky Rourke was her moviestar boyfriend and Clive Owen was hired to follow her around and make sure she didnt get into any trouble. I wanna say it was called The Follow.

They are awesome. I received the DVD version a couple of months ago. For BMW owners its a small free perk, but its only $5 to order one and well worth it for non-owners.
