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?

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.

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

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

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!

it's no coincidence, they must be on some extra shortlist.
There are 2 in the film 'taken' ...3 possibly - good film anyway
I thought I noticed some wide arch action - that was good

I guess producers like cheap RWD cars as well!

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

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.
