A old series of short promotional films by BMW starring Clive Owen as a driver. The Driver has to deliver a mysterious ticking briefcase to a team of secret agents. It’s not that easy, as there alot of people that do not want that ticking briefcase to be delivered. This clip features the BMW Z4 Roadster.

You can get this videos on the BMW official DVD, called The Hire (2004) which you could order online for free and pay only for the postage charges which is 7USD all over the world. I don't know if it's still available now.
You have reknowned directors who produced these short clips including one guy from HK. My favourite clip was most definitely the one which he conjured up the sand to create a blanket over the car to escape.
