BMW X5 gets loads of plugs in Ghost Writer

BMW X5 LCI

The last time we saw Pierce Brosnand and a BMW star in the same movie, it was in Tomorrow Never Dies. Pierce Brosnan will be reacquainted with a BMW this year in the new Ghost Writer movie. But Pierce won’t be driving it – Ewan McGregor will be the BMW’s driver, and the BMW in question here is the new BMW X5, not a 7-Series with a V12 or anything like that. BMW has put up a trailer of the movie on its YouTube page, and from what I see the X5 really gets loads of screen presence. There’s also a very obvious in your face plug for BMW’s ConnectedDrive service in there, where the system tells Ewan’s character that traffic is clear to where he wants to go. Don’t get me wrong, the X5 is a nice vehicle but as a car enthusiast I’d rather see something like the E92 M3 Coupe in action, perhaps fully decked up with the Competition Package bits ;)

    LOL…

    haha agree..mlmers always like this "selepas 6 bulan saya sudah memiliki sebuah bmw/merc..or belikan isteri saya kereta kegemarannye". why car? if they'r so rich..buy properties la..a car is always not a good investment(unless it's a classic or maybe rare vintage car).

    they dun buy properties bcos they can't bring it everywhere to show it off to their downliners..

    that's why car is the best option even it is not a good investment and they even can't afford to own it (slpas genap 6 bln kne tariklah kreta tu) :)

    Poor people will buy property … because they can not effort to lose money.

    Rich people will buy car ……because they already have lots of properties.

    You sound…..sour grape.

    "The last time we saw Pierce Brosnand and a BMW star in the same movie, it was in Tomorrow Never Dies. "

    Not quite right, it was actually The World is Not Enough where he drove the Z8, which was later sliced in half. :)
