There's also an E30 parked on the street on the trailer for Hitch-Hiker's Guide'.
Anyone know any good movies with decent E30 action in? Particuarly M3's of course

Buffy the Vampire Slayer has an E30 in it! That old boy/Buffys Sugar Daddy Giles has a Red Cab in a few eps he also steered a Citroen DS for a few eps too.. I remember the E30 does a drift in 1 ep and she also says "so slow, ultimate driving machine my @$$"

I have seen the E30 in the sure add too.. noticed it last night...
The crop up quite alot - there was a black sport (like Davetourings) that drives past in a Wayne and Waynetta slob sketch that they showed at the end of comic relief...
Also some bad guys had one in 55 degrees north in the last series too.
They actually seem to pop up quite alot considering how old they are, I guess we have a keener eye than most as enthusiatic owners...

Ahh you beat me to the hitchhickers guide thing.. damn. that was gonna be my trvia for the day.
I exclaimed quite loudly in the cinema when I say it

I'm so sad.
Film waa pretty shit imho. there were a few nods here and there that you wouldn't have expected. The mongolian looking Mr Proser (is that his name? the bull dozer bloke anyway) they gave him the genghis khan moustache but failed to mention anything about it. I don't think they really did it justice. I did like Marvin though, they did a good job on him. Ohh and did anyone notice the orginal bbc tv series Marvin in one of the scenes? Did I mention I was sad?
E46 M3 CSL but dreaming of another E30.

Twin Town. That's got a tidy 325i sport, a 520i and a 635csi. I remember the characters having an argument about how you could'nt tell the difference between a 518 and a 535. Producer must have been BM mad !!
