<center>Was a pretty bad movie, not horrible, but not one i would see again (except for the nice black 8er).
It is shown for a total of a few minutes throughout the movie.
One scene includes the main character driving it down a road and parking it in the driveway (perfect side view)</center>

Webmaster Advice

<center>i believe it was an 850i because the side mirrors did not have to scoop (such as on the M series)
and there is a scene with the car's tail in plain view and it says 850i. I just thought that info might help out!
And also, I'd rate the movie about a B. It was ok and the car looks great, but it wasn't one of the best movies I've ever seen...</center>

Glengarry Glen Ross (1992)
<center></center>
Synopsis

Times are tough at Premiere Properties.
To initiate a little incentive among the sales agents, Blake comes up with a sales program.
The winner gets a new Cadillac and the loser gets unemployed.

Webmaster Advice

<center>"Glengarry Glenross" w/ Jack Lemmon. From the early to mid 90s.
Movie was about a bunch of losers who were selling -- or not selling -- vacation real estate.
The bad guy from headquarters who came down to jerk a knot in the slackers was driving an 850.
It was shown only in an outside scene, at night, parked in the pouring rain
When the slackers were going to meet with the bad guy they walked past the car and exclaimed over it.
In the chewing out that followed the bad guy mentioned his "$100,000 car" and his "$10,000 Rolex" as examples of what the slackers could accomplish if only they'd try.
Frankly, not a very flattering use. And a depressing movie. But it was in there.</center>

The plan goes awry when, after stashing herself in the trunk of her Beemer, she's stolen along with it by a goofily adorable car thief.
The two clash immediately, but before you can say "screwball," romantic sparks fly.
Created by Silverstone's production company.

Webmaster Advice

<center>The obvious one is "Excess Baggage" with Alicia Silverstone.
There was a laguna green one that got lot's of air time.
There are some other cool cars in the movie too.Including a Silver Aston Martin DB5
Not a great movie, but the most screen time that I have seen for an 8er.
This vehicle was for sale in Vancouver Canada 4 years ago.</center>

Cosby Mysteries, The (1994)
<center></center>
Synopsis

A great movie with a series of murders, a subtle sense of humor and some great acting. It of course lacks great locations, any great cinematography or anything. But is is made up by a tight screen play and good acting. No wonder this came as a TV series because when you watch the movie you get a feeling of watching a TV serial.

But I would recommend it for any intelligent viewer who likes intelligent movies

Webmaster Advice

<center>In TV's 1994's Cosby Mysteries at about 15-20 minutes in the movie, you see Bill Cosby talking to some other cop on the street. You see them walking up to a Red car where when they open the door, there is no window trim. I thought to myself, is this an 8? They show the head rest and, Yup! It's an 8, just thought I'd let you know.</center>

The Italian Job (2003)
