Sometimes, a film's cars become nearly as iconic as the
stars themselves. See "Bullitt" or "The Fast and the
Furious." It can be just as important that a character's car matches his
or her persona. In "Mission: Impossible - Fallout," BMW earned the leading automotive role.
In the film, Ethan Hunt, played by Tom Cruise, receives
wheel time in and on a variety of BMWs. He rides an R90 Scrambler motorcycle
and drives two M5s: one new F90 M5 and a
classic E28
M5. The new M5 is fine and dandy, but the original M5 is a real star.
The German brand highlighted its support in the stunt scenes
in a new video, and the film's production crew and Cruise himself also spoke of
their time with the cars.
The F90 M5 is used as Hunt's main form of transportation and
features a load of slick gadgets to boot, including remote control operation.
The video also shows us a glimpse of the E28 M5 during a chase scene in Paris.
It's unclear if the M5 was harmed during filming, but the car gets pretty beat
up as we see in the behind-the-scenes video. The team drifted it, jumped curbs,
and really thrashed it about. Importantly, the crew also remarks that the
classic sport sedan was "indestructible." Cruise also got the car up
to 100 mph on the streets of Paris for one chase scene.
Have a look at the video up above, then go check out the
movie in theaters now.
