What car is this (from the movie 'Heat')?!

[flood]

this one!
I cant seem to identify it... deniro drives it towards the end of the movie

 

[sohcrates]

kinda looks like a "merkur" to me

i think they're made by ford

 

[j0lly]

I always thought it was a Pontiac. I'll do more research and see if I can find out.

 

[d33pt]

i thot it was a bmw 850...
but then later i thot he was driving a camaro..

now that i look at that again.. i'm almost willing to bet it's an 850.. you can make out the kidney grilles

 

[snakesnfrogs]

from the headlights, looks like a BMW 850

 

[Pastore]

i think its a newer transam... i would also say bmw because of the grill, but do any bmw's have filp up head lights? cuz im sure they are flip up lights

trans am?

 

[flood]

i too thought it was a bmw, but im not sure

 

[d33pt]

yes 850 had flip up lights.

 

[Sporko]

It's a BMW 850 with the pop-up headlights up.

<< There is some conjecture over whether or not Robert DeNiro drives an 8 series in &quot;Heat&quot;. I have the film on video and I am making a ruling. I feel that he drives a Camero Z26, they both look similar front on and in the next shot he is shown getting out of a blue green Z26, so that is my feelings on the subject >>






edit: found this list as well

 

[Pastore]

ok cool

 

[EXman]

yea it's a 8 series BMW who knows what engine it has. you know you can get hit by a train in this car and walk away from it lol! I used to sell 'em had an awesome picture.

 

[fake]

850

 

[flood]

if you have the dvd, i *think* its chapter 36

 

[Rent]

Yah right, you sold these cars and you don't know what engine it has in them? Get real.

This car, let alone a Hummer couldn't save you from a train. Maybe at 5mph... not to mention the 859 was extremely unreliable and expensive to maintain.

/end rant

[csiro]

Yea, the 850. Can't miss the flatter kidney grilles.

 

[d33pt]

he meant you can't tell if it's the V8 840 or the V12 850 just from the picture alone.

 

[j0lly]

Dammit! I was so sure it was a TransAM. Oh well, good linkage, snakes.

radeon:

Can you tell which of the +4 engines a chevy truck has by looking at it from the front? No

You cannot look at that picture and say it is a 850i 850ci 850csi or just the 840!

I think someone needs to shut that Piehole now

sorry you asked for it don't start something you not ready to finish

 

[M O M O]

hot damn.. i like pieholes

 

[EXman]

I love DP!

 

[jeffrey]

It was either a 840 or 850i BMW coupe. Deniro must like them because that is also his &quot;ride&quot; in &quot;the Score&quot;.

Actually there are a ton of car salesman who don't know jack about the cars they are selling and will just BS there way to get you to buy.

Example: &quot;Sure this thing is Ok with 87 octane&quot; &quot;But the manual says premium.....&quot;
