Paul Tan on the Automotive Industry
An old series of short promotional films by BMW starring Clive Owen as a driver. The Driver comes face-to-face with a successful star with a major attitude problem. She always gets what she wants, and expects it to be the same this time. Featured BMW car is the E39 M5, my favourite BMW of all.

IMHO, this was Madonna's best screen performance.
Definitely better than her "Hung Up" video anyway
Please, don't remind me of the repulsion.
Wah good video
I love the part where he flicks the steering wheel and snaps his fingers
hahaha…nice video…make me recall The Transporter movie….thanks Paul.
p/s- Nice BMW logo 'shape' sunglasses she wear…:-)
O.O" whao…… the steering wheels…
this car actual price less than 300k. Thanks to the tax you need to pay up to one million now… 968k.
One time I feel sad to be Malaysian…to drive a car is a burden of a lifetime.
There is another video showing the "making of" of the short films and in it is an interview with Clive Owen where he mentions the snapping-fingers-while-cornering shot. Actually, there was another stunt driver seated next to him doing all the driving but it was executed so well that for awhile, everyone thought that he was the one doing the actual driving.
Fyi, these short videos also appear in marketing books as a lesson in online marketing where exclusive short films were made by BMW specifically for downloading on the internet.
Clever move as these videos were very popular when they were launched a few years back.
Damn!!! I lvoe that M5!!! That's the M5 I love most over the series!!! BMW Big fan here! haha… BMW The Ultimate Drving Machine… with M5 the world's fastest Saloon!!!! cost rm80k… @_@
correction… is more than rm800k…
awesome! woohooo
There is only one M5 in my world and this is the one.
Hahaha… must be her husband's way of teaching her a lesson…
nice video paul.
interesting to see not all M5 boys like the new M5. hehe
Yeah the car was both left and right driven. So if Clive hung on to the steering wheel too tight then they probably would have crashed.
clive owen is so hot. period.
guy ritchie still has a lot to give. too bad the cow he's married to stumped his credibility with that movie 'swept away'.
Hahah Show her breakfast, lunch and dinner…Sweet….(make her puke)
sigh… another smoking gun.
she din actually puke as many claimed. the stain (more like pee stain) was actually from her spilled coffee hung on in between her legs.
ha………….ha..ha..!! is nice wa!…
Anyone know the song in the clip which goes like "woohoo…. woohoo…. "?
bigcow: the song is called "Song 2" by Blur.
ROFL the part where he puts his hands off the wheel is great
