    Another good short movie, reminds me of James Bond's Tomorrow Never Dies! This is so far the nicest and coolest 7 Series ever! These few short movies would really tempt car buyers to go for BMW, at least for me, it really would!

    this clip is pretty good…da driver is smart…no much ppl would hv thought of ramming of da enemy's headlights before barging through da closed road as in logic if da road is closed…it would not be safe to drive through…and as expected da road had been occupied by some large machines and also without any street light which adds to da danger driving without ur headlights and high speed…well da robbers are lame enough to use a van to chase a & series…

    true, the vid almost chg my mind of contemplating a bmw over an evo9.

    the vid is most awsm ! coupled wit the recent bmw testing vid tht paul js put up make meinto believing tht bmw is indeed capable of pulling out tis kind of stunt in the vid without much camera or movie trick.

    Brilliant Masterpiece Work

    The movie is carefully made to highlight:

    – Accelleration

    – Manouverability

    – Toughness

    – Headlights

    – ABS, EBD (Stability Assistance, if any)

    What other unique selling points were included in this movie? The director is the famous Frankenheimer (Google him). The website had good downloads and I have them all. When they offered the DVD collectors edition I ordered it from BMW North America. Came to about RM110 or something.
