e30's are film stars

[Barx325i]

I've watched a few films recently & my girlfriend thinks I'm obsessed..

Well I am, I do pause and go back, but it's like a 6th sense. The e30 in shot can be out of focus in the background for a split second, but they're there and I notice them.

Just watching 'yes man' and 5 mins in, there's a dolphin 2door 318 in pride of place next to a discovery 5 and a plethera of yank mobiles.. directors love e30's

Anyone else have this acute illness?

[Sawyer_E30]

In the top gear challenge episode when they try to get across London, just before the Stig gets on the first bus, just rolling behind in the traffic is an E30.

[Barx325i]

20 mins in to 'yes man' and proof indeed - the e30 in the carpark belongs to the main character

[Shane325i_sport]

Theres an E30 in the latest batman movie too

Theres one in Transformers but it gets crushed by a tank!!!!

And theres one in Old School aswell!!!!

[Boyraceruk]

An E30 is the main character's car in Pusher. Black four door, probably a 2.5.

[BadMoonRising]

There's one in Eastenders isn't there?

[Hyperion]

vanilla sky, when he leaves Penelope Cruz's place in the morning there is a e30 packed on the street.

[Benho]

in the van damme film 'Lionheart' an e30 is smashed up when he roundhouse kicks someone onto one... infact in that scene van damme fights someone in the middle of a ring of cars which does have two e30's. one cab and one coupe.

ingenious!

[Barx325i]

it's no coincidence, they must be on some extra shortlist.

There are 2 in the film 'taken' ...3 possibly - good film anyway

Aren't there 2 scallys in 'Lock, Stock & ...' sat in an E30, one says to the other "I'm sat here in a car worth less than your shirt"!!

Here's a website that catalogues every car in every film:

'Bird on a wire' Goldie Hawn has a cabby, which is involved in a longish car chase.

[jamie323i]

Not a film,but cassandra had one in only fools and Horses.A 2 door chromie i think.

The masoods had a light blue moredoor on eastenders,remember gary and minty having to clean it in an episode last year.
Every now and again you see a black one drive past in the open air shots.

I really should get out more

Are you sure about that? I know it was a BMW in gold but I always thought it was a old five series, do you have a link? I may very well be wrong but I have searched your link below and can't find it.

THe only one that realy jumped out at we when I was watching a film was the white E30 in Days of Thunder

[Cotty]

[Ritz]

F**k thats not a cabby sorry lol

[Cotty]

F**k thats not a cabby sorry lol

I think there was a white jeep type thing in the film which is where you might be getting the white convertable part from.

[Barx325i]

but there is a black e30 cabby in shot! on t'right

[shonky]

Theres a real nasty looking E30 in East 17s first video ( House of love possibly? )

[cougar]

Paid in Full (2002) this film about gangstas set in the 80s has some cool e30s
