| cant think off any on top of my head but theres been heaps of euro cars on movies... Audi A8 and bmw M5 are popular choices... Theres been a few porches aswell... would be nice to see some m3's... now the new one is out im sure it will be used a bit. Just that theres no movies where EVERY car is euro :P (not even insanely gay movies like trainspotters.)

| As for Transformers, if you're talking about the G1 cartoon, there was some pretty good variety. The new movie had problems because car companies like Porsche and Volkswagen didn't want their cars to be portrayed in a violent American way. That's why Bumblebee and Jazz were a camaro and soltice as opposed to a beetle and 935. |

| its probly because most of those movies are made in the u.s.a and they just want to advertise american cars. they need more variety yes thats true

| You better believe GM spent big money to have their name on everythingin transformers. BMW is to busy making quality cars to whore themsleves out to the movie industry. Oh and by the way, it made me sick to see that pontiac solstice (?spelling?) because I worked on one of those. It only had 4,000 miles on it and the main output shaft seal was leaking on the ground. Shameful. |

| I admit, I love the solstice. The Ecotec motor is a damn good 4cyl. It could have just been a thing.... The Ecotec is a very stout motor, and swallows boost like a cheap whore. Also, very good volumetric efficency comes from those motors.

| what ads bash bmw? I've got two silvia Sideswipe pictures and a 300ZX Z32 Jazz |

| most ads from competing car companies bash bmw or say that they can do everything better. many say stuff such as, "more leg room than a 7-series, better acceleration etc." it's not a big deal, i just wish their competitors wouldn't bash them all the time.

| I think that's because BMW sets a lot of benchmarks for the automotive industry. I'd take it as a compliment. |
