The Star movie is outright hilarious. I loved it. Although I downloaded all the movies from BMWfilms.

So did I. I tried it in my Home Theater DVD player, my DVD-ROM drive, and my XBOX... no play!!! I contacted BMW through the contact us > help link, and received a reply that they were looking into the issue. For the record, I bought three; one for me and two for gifts. All three are bad.

I'll just get the VIN from my parents L6 and order it up for free :)

L6 = :Q

It wont take any of my VINs. '73 3.0s, '74 2002tii, '71 r75/5 :(

On the bimmer/beamer debate, I'm positive bimmer is the car, but I think beemer is the bike. There is a shirt with at Bavarian Autosport It is under clothing, t-shirts. It is 4 from the top.

Unfortunately I have been a little disappointed in the newer BMW films with the Z4. I think Star is head-and-shoulders above the others, anyway.

Filled in the order and got to 'place order'. I clicked it, got a minute of the hourglass and then --nothing, no confirmation.
Is this normal?
Thanks

Awww...no go for me. '02 Mini Cooper S. It's technically a BMW after all. Bummer.

Guess I have to wait til they make some Mini Films. That would be sweet.

Got mine a few days ago. I used my 1988 bmw number.
Thanks.

Also got a dvd titled "Three Journeys" (director Michael Cuesta and cinematographer Paul Cameron) from Lexus.. maybe an offshoot from the Lexus Survival Kit deal?

the lexus one was crap, not even entertaining at all, bmw one is 100x better, its just lexus ans christler and other companies trying to copy bmw by making movies that are no where as good.
