"Star" is my favorite, because I always liked the E39 M5. Plus, The M5 driver's gives a ride from hell to Madonna bitch. :twisted:

I like the "Devil" movie, it may not make sense but I still like it.

My least fave is "Powderkeg" not a lot of driving, and the X5 isn't the best car to go off road with.

I think Ticker and Star are the best. Ticker because it's a proper actionmovie compressed to 8min and Star because of the humor and the astonishing E39 M5 wich in some shots looks to be an ordinary five series, but who cares.

"Star" by a long shot. The M5 they used looks identical to the one my dad has, and it's just too funny.

Powderkeg is definitely the worst. Feels too much like a documentary.

I've only seen seasion one films...downloading season 2 films as we speak.

one with the Z4 (can't remember the name...)


i think it was Beat the Devil. You're talking about the one with James Brown and Marilyn Manson right?

I would say Star is my favorite and Devil is second, just for the idea that Marilyn Manson scares Satan :D
i need to rip the rest of them (we have The Hire dvd at work and it has 8 of the films on it)

For first season, my favourites got to be Ambush and Star. John Frankenheimer did a great job with the movie.

As for second season, I'd say Ticker. Great action.

the whole second series had the Z4 in them.
I like Star the most Guy Ritchie did atleast one good movie with his wife.
ZfrkS62: are they selling the DVD? because I got it for free a while ago in a Magazine and they were giving them away on their site.

The Star......it's funny and good car action.


Ticker will be my second choice...
Really hope that they will make a new series on the new E60 M5........if that's really come true, I think I will cry because of that ;)

Yeah ticker and ambush is great too. Yeah. i totally didn't get the Devil. And forgot to include that in my list of least favorite.

I thought you can only watch those from BMWfilms through its own player. And how many season 2 films are there? I count Devil, Hostage, Ticker. Anything else?

An alternative place to download the films

The E39 M5 looked awesome in Star. Powerkeg could be better. I like how they used the same actor to play the driver. Didn't like the Merc "The Porter" as much as the BMW ones.

Star, Ambush and Ticker were the ones I liked best
Star, because it's EXTREMELY funny.
Ticker, because it has a very cool storyline, and very famous actors like ray liotta.
Ambush, because Frankenheimer is one of the kings of car chase movies...i mean, take ronin for example.. what a shitty story, but the chases, they were VERY good. And no one I knows cares that they don't know wht's in the Case.....

I like Follow least, cos it's downright BORING.

'Star' is cool.

You can really see the directors different styles in these films. I dont think anyone but Guy Ritchie could have directed 'Star' and John Frankenheimers 'Ambush' is done in a more realistic style, much like 'Ronin' with Robert De Nero, which he also directed.

I thought the John Woo one ('hostage') was pretty lame.
