<< If you listen to the director's commentary, you'll find out it's suppose to be coffee. >>

my friends said it was pee, and it would be absolutely funny to say it was pee! That's why the photographers at the end were so shocked...

but that is his wife, and I don't think he would like to embrass her that much

This one was funny, but I like &quot;The Follow&quot; the best. &quot;Ambush&quot; is also pretty good.

You liked the follow best? It was soooooooooo boring. . . it didn't show off the car at all. He drove it like a Civic.

I thought it was pee - now that you remind me about coffee cup I agree its that; but I sure thought it was pee at first.

I too thought it was pee. I think that the photographers are supposed to think it's pee and not coffee. It must be a really fast car, though. To get from downtown to the Hollywood Palace that quickly...damn! :)

Guy Ritchie chose the M5 over the 530i at the last minute. So BMW Films probably didn't get a chance to update its site in time.

I'm sorry, not the website. But the interactive player. Look up machines, then the 530i and then the overview.

Did anyone find a way to save the Windows Media Video-File to harddisk??
I've been trying to save those movies for 1/2 hour and I couldn't find a way to do it (all mytricks didn't work)

Yeah, I know I could download the BMW player but I don't want to have all those players cluttering up my pc.

You can't save the streaming versions to your harddrive. You have to download the BMW player. PM me if you want me to send you a movie or two.

If you have the BMW Films Player it automatically saves the films to your HD.

I LOVED this movie - I thought it was by far the best of the movies so for. The first two were basically generic car chases (though the Frankenheimer one was really neat), and &quot;The Follow&quot; was pretty dull IMO.

&quot;Star&quot; has the brilliantly manic, comic attitude of Ritchie's feature films, and the M5 is obviously the alpha male of the BMW family. Not to mention it is the only one that includes the &quot;C&quot; word used in connection with Madonna!

Huh? The Follow featured the 330ci and Z3, and there was essentially no aggressive driving at all. I believe Star is the only one featuring the M5, or indeed any M car.

What kind of M car do you drive?

It's not a Player per se, it's really only a Macromedia Director
file with Quicktime movies imbedded. Once you've downloaded the
high-res movie files to your computer, you can get rid of the
player and just watch the movies using Quicktime.

Star was sweet.

Follow has the best story, just too bad the sound is frequently
out of sync with the actors.

Chosen, sucked.

Ambush was decent.

Looking forward to the rest of them along with the video of that
BMW pro driver who's going to demonstrate how to perform those
power slides and other tricks shown in the series.
