It was a BMW, right? I haven't seen it in awhile but as I recall, it was a fancy lil beemer. anybody have any other info on it? When i first saw it I thought it was a short movie ad for the car. hehe.

It's a BMW M5. Midsize sedan, but about as fast as a Corvette. It's got a 4.9 litre V8, makes 400 horsepower. Basically, really good for tossing arrogant pop starts around.

Actually if you look at the frontal shots of the car at certain points in the film it is a 540i. BMW used both the M5 and the 540i for this film and edited the footage together. Yes, I know I have an unhealthy obsession with BMW but I can't help it.

Originally, it was supposed to be a 530 for "Star" but when Guy Ritchie saw the M5 and its capabilities he insisted on using it. This according to BMW...
