Still my favourite BMW short film. I love the way Clive Owen flicks the steering wheel, lets go, and the car does a great drift around the corner. That scene is what I still remember after all these years.
Brilliant! I remember when it was released, broke the internet... now technically watching it here as a case study by a recommendation of my MBA professor. This is pure gold.
But I totally agree about Owen being a great potential Bond, and thought so ever since I saw him YEARS back, in this obscure (but great) British Indie film called "Croupier". [For some reason I wanted to explain how I came to see this film, so skip this boring story if you have no interest, lol]. This indie theater was having some kind of 'special event', and they hired my dad to be the piano player for it; he insisted I come along even though I was only like 12 and couldn't play or anything yet. So I was just sitting idly in the lobby watching these theater people toast each other, eat appetizers, etc. The owner of the theater saw that I had gotten dragged along and was a bit bored, so he came over to me, and offered a free ticket to any film I wanted to see, along with anything I wanted from the snack bar, all free (a very nice bloke!). Even at 12 I had quirky taste in movies--all of the films were independent-type movies, but they did have some kind of goofy kids movie playing, I opted for "Croupier" cos the title sounded cool, plus it was rated R. It ended up being this pulpy, but very sly and funny as well, almost film noir-esque film about a struggling writer who takes a temp job as a casino Croupier, and ends up getting roped into a heist. That was my first exposure to Owen, in 1998, and even there he had all the hallmarks of a great bond: Confident, suave, but also somehow the unspoken signal that underneath it all this is a damaged man, a potentially dangerous man. Also didn't hurt that the film had that old-school, also noir-style narration throughout the picture, where Owen's character would comment on his own life as it were a novel. Wow, apologies, I honestly didn't intend to write a long ramble like this that nobody will read...but, in any case, if anyone is a fan of Clive Owen, and/or thinks he would have made a great Bond, you should totally seek out "Croupier"--its one of those films you've never heard of, but once you finally see it you wonder how in the hell it isn't some kind of universally beloved hit, if there was any justice in the world...
Still have the dvd with all the BMW Films from that time. And this is my favorite. The perfect sedan. All motor, manual only (as all original M cars were) and handling blessed by God himself. Friend of mine owned one back then. Still rip him for selling it.
In the making of they said all cars were factory stock, NO modifications. And they did all the stunts with them. IIRC they had 5 cars for this whole short movie and they wrecked the first on the very first day of filming with that jump.
I loved these BMW films ever since they first came out years ago. And I TOTALLY love the fact that they were so clever enough to not even MENTION MADONNA was the STAR in "STAR" - LOL!!! (Keep watching through ALL the Credits.... ALL of them.. Not *1* mention of Madonna :)
Thanks for uploading it. I originally got the DVD from the BMW booth at the 2001 L.A. Auto Show, but lost it. Now this awesome clip will never be lost or forgotten. Thank you!
To this day, I still desperately want to buy an E39 M5. It's not as good a sports car as my Z06 not as good a people/cargo/trailer hauling vehicle as my LX470, so I honestly can't figure out what I would do with an M5. But it's like an itch I have to scratch. All because of this video...and of course how perfect the styling is.
Okay, this has nothing to do with this specific clip, BUT...does anyone who had the actual DVD remember, the bizarre, amateur-film type thing made up of the "sub-stories" for each short? You could watch 'em separately, but I always chose the option to watch it as one long thing, since it had none of the people from the actual shorts anyway. I now know that technically its purpose was the little codes/websites etc hidden throughout, as a promo type deal...but what an awesomely nonsensical, ridiculous little short film out of context. *Hispanic woman walks towards chubby mailman warbling in rapid-fire Spanish* Chubby Mailman: "Ahh....I dunno...what yer...talkin' about..." *Gets tazed violently* lol
MADONNA - THE QUEEN OF POP! Madonna Louise Ciccone (/tʃɪˈkoʊni/; Italian: [tʃikˈkoːne]; born August 16, 1958) is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She has influenced various other artists and has often been referred to as the "Queen of Pop". Madonna is noted for her continual reinvention and versatility in music production, songwriting, and visual presentation. She has pushed the boundaries of artistic expression in mainstream music, while maintaining control over every aspect of her career. Her works, which incorporate social, political, sexual, and religious themes, have generated both controversy and critical acclaim. As a globalized figure, Madonna is also noted for her cultural impact throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. She has her own academic subdiscipline devoted to her named Madonna studies. Scholarly reviews and literature works on her made Madonna one of the most "well-documented figures of the modern age". Madonna moved to New York City in 1978 to pursue a career in modern dance. After performing as a drummer, guitarist, and vocalist in the rock bands Breakfast Club and Emmy, she rose to solo stardom with her debut studio album, Madonna (1983). She followed it with a series of successful albums, including all-time bestsellers Like a Virgin (1984), True Blue (1986) and The Immaculate Collection (1990) as well as Grammy Award winners Ray of Light (1998) and Confessions on a Dance Floor (2005). Madonna has amassed many number-one singles throughout her career, including "Like a Virgin", "La Isla Bonita", "Like a Prayer", "Vogue", "Take a Bow", "Frozen", "Music", "Hung Up", and "4 Minutes". Madonna's popularity was enhanced by roles in films such as Desperately Seeking Susan (1985), Dick Tracy (1990), A League of Their Own (1992), and Evita (1996). While Evita won her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, many of her other films received poor reviews. As a businesswoman, Madonna founded the company Maverick in 1992. It included Maverick Records, one of the most successful artist-run labels in history. Her other ventures include fashion brands, children's books, health clubs, and filmmaking. She contributes to various charities, having founded the Ray of Light Foundation in 1998 and Raising Malawi in 2006. With sales of over 300 million records worldwide, Madonna is the best-selling female music artist of all time. She is the most successful solo artist in the history of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and holds the record for the most number-one singles by a female artist in Australia, Canada, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom. With a revenue of over U.S. $1.5 billion from her concert tickets, she remains the highest-grossing solo touring artist of all time. Madonna was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008, her first year of eligibility. She was ranked as the greatest woman in music by VH1, and as the greatest music video artist of all time by MTV and Billboard. Rolling Stone also listed Madonna among the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time and the 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time. She also featured in several Forbes earning lists as the highest grossing female artist during various years across four consecutive decades. And I have the great honor to have in my discography ALL THE STUDIO ALBUMS of our QUEEN OF POP. All in CD format and in triplicate, and others in quadruplicate, quintiplicate, sextiplicate, up to seven copies! I also have two units of THE IMMACULATE COLLECTION, three units of SOMETHING TO REMEMBER, two units of CELEBRATION, the soundtracks WHO'S THAT GIRL, I'M BREATHLESS, the remix album, YOU CAN DANCE. Well, in short, I've been a huge fan of Madonna since 1984 when I first heard the single "Borderline" on the radio. I felt that she was different from all other artists. And I was not wrong! Madonna is the true and greatest Queen of Pop Music in the world! And I'm one of Madonna's biggest fans! May God bless Madonna always. forever! Forever my Lucky Star, my Ray of Light! In good times, in bad times, she was and will always be my inspiration, my strength to move on with my life! I love her with all my heart and soul! She is always on my mind!, ♥️💯‼️👑💯‼️😘😘😘

Hammer Rocks And snaps his fingers! Lol!
Such a boss move.
...i love the sillyness driver shows as he does what he gets paid to do!!! XD "...well mum i wouldn't like to put you in any danger..." LMMFAO
...and in Good Time Too! LOL
When BMW was great!
This never gets old. No one better to play the driver than Clive Owen. ⭐️
Я бы хотел увидеть фильм, где на BMW ездили бы он и Джейсон Стейтем ^_^
Well maybe Jason Statham, and now that I've thought about it, Matt Damon ' Jason Bourne' would have done it for me too eh 😎👍
@@RknRolrJWW Eh, those both would have been totally different vibes.
@@RknRolrJWW "Maht Dahmon" via World Police! Trey nailed it! lol
It never gets old. Still the best car advert ever made. Whoo-hoo!!! 🤣🤪❤
Brilliant! I remember when it was released, broke the internet... now technically watching it here as a case study by a recommendation of my MBA professor. This is pure gold.
It was a new 'breaking technique'? The cam mounted on the Beamer, yet erased? Excellent video!
@@govetter That kind of technique used to be popular in car photography, but back then i had never seen footage done this way... mind blowing!
@@vanclyde Woo-Hoo!
I always thought Clive Owen would make a great James Bond. Many others agreed, but it did not come to pass.
it might still happen fingers crossed
I totally agree.. ive had a Crush on Clive since the "Children of Men" movie. I really wish he could have been in SIN CITY 2 - A Dame to Die for
At this point, I think the 'expected' next one is Idris Elba??

This short film is the reason why I have a special place in my heart for the M series of BMWs, especially the M5.
Yup. They just don’t do marketing like this anymore. :( they should.
The BMW Films made me realize that Clive Owen can play a bad ass.
Patrick Defoe
He was once considered for James Bond
But lost out to Daniel Craig
Thanks for uploading it. I originally got the DVD from the BMW booth at the 2001 L.A. Auto Show, but lost it.
Now this awesome clip will never be lost or forgotten. Thank you!
LOL ...they were free but i would have PAID!!! Still want an M5...
I still have mine !
"...why are we going soo slow?" WooHoo!
...Let's see what we can do about that, Sir... WooHoo!
I love how he calls her "sir" 😅
A very British thing.
@@jaciuro is that a British thing to call women sir?
3:37 That's because she said she doesn't want to be called "ma'am" lol
I was wondering where the opening scene of 'Baby Driver' came from.
4:21-5:57 when the modern culture of BMW hit it's peak
I love the start, pull away at WOT and the people standing at the corners watching as the car pulls away, must sounded/looked awesome to be there.
What is WOT?
Wide Open Throttle.
I love how Guy Ritchie cast his own wife to play, well.... herself...
No she was playing an exaggerated version of herself.
@@ReubenWalton ...A lot of people beg to differ.
@@ImpetuouslyInsane well they’re wrong.
That's one ride i'd love to be holding on to Madonna eh, spectacular video, cheers 😎👍👍
Still funny as heck to this day!
I still do that wiggle of the stick shift at any red light before Clive floors it bc of this movie. Blame it on Blur.
I've never seen this. Hysterical.
4:45 best part ever!
Yeah😎😎😍
I love the racing manoeuvre when he let's go of the steering wheel pure skill
Love the racing manoeuvre letting go of the steering wheel on the bend
You know I would definitely pay for this kind of experience if it existed.
drifttaxi is a thing
I'm buying a BMW right now because of this
You need to check out the late model M5, the F90 with AWD and the S63B44T4 engine -
hahah the best movie from these series for sure
lol'd at the no hander @ 4:45
Still one of the best, along with "Ambush"
Magistral, Atemporal.
To this day, I still desperately want to buy an E39 M5. It's not as good a sports car as my Z06 not as good a people/cargo/trailer hauling vehicle as my LX470, so I honestly can't figure out what I would do with an M5. But it's like an itch I have to scratch. All because of this video...and of course how perfect the styling is.
Clive Owen got ROOKED! They should have looked at these BMW films and made him James Bond!
Hold on tigh sir😂
5:52 You can't beat classical music for comedy!
Thank you ❤
My last Uber ride.
..huh oh, you pissed off a guy in a M5 in NYC???!!!
@@maxwellmarsden7273 was this filmed in NYC?
@@ReubenWalton not sure
Still the Ultimate M5 commercial by perhaps the Ultimate M5.
I still desperately want an E39 M5. I had to settle for a Phaeton.
Not the same thing at all.
Never before have I wanted to buy a car so much
this movie certainly helped!!!
lol that was halarious
" Always wear your seatbelt ". Maybe bring some Depends too.
Lol that was exciting
Very nice video. It's a shame we can't get 5.1 on youtube. Can't complain too much about free though.
She was playing a Karen even before that was a thing.
Directed by Guy Ritchie
Nice
So did she piss herself or was that just the coffee?
It was the coffee. She drank it and it came out her pee hole.
Exactly!
...and it was PIPING hot...
@@Gobbersmack there’s no way it came out that fast 💨.
Doesn't much matter. TH-cam downmixes to stereo. I've tested it.
The original Gymkhana
God bless you.
...methinks Madonna yelled at the WRONG guy that day!!! ~ROFLMAO~
Glen gave her an experience to remember him!!! ;)
So, she fucked around and found out!😂
What year was this made?
1998-2094, I think.

Clive Owen should be the next Bond.
She just cannot act at all.
