Seeing a Gold coloured 635csi leads to a <flashback> in time...

to between 1985 and 1989...to be exact, when the last time I seen one, was driven by (Maddie Hayes), in that crazy TV series called 'Moonlighting' with the then, sexy Cibil Shepherd and the newbie unknown actor Bruce Willis (David Addison)...

Think this was broadcast on Tuesday nights at 9pm (BBC2)

You either loved it or hated it, I think it should be re-run on TV again for the next generation..

Anyone else know of any famous BMW's which starred in films, tv shows post pics up of the shows etc....nostalgia time

Molly Ringwald's dad has an E23 in the Breakfast Club

And George McFly's present for being a successful author is another Gleaming E23, getting 'two coats of wax' from Biff at the end of Back to the Future!

I specialise in spotting E36 Convertibles as I have one... so here are three occurrences:

Renee Russo has a Boston Green one in Get Shorty
The Mother (I forget her character's name) has a white one in The Birdcage

...and Best of all, Karl Hungus has one in the 'film within a film' "Logjammin'" in The Big Lebowski.
Beating around the bush.

Actually a standard US-spec 633Csi dressed up to look like the M6

Since I own and run an E24, there is no need for me to watch them on TV....
