Autoblog Night Watch: BMW's The Hire - Star

The video meant to be presented here is no longer available. Sorry for the inconvenience.


BMW's short film series, 'The Hire,' was arguably the most engaging advertainment ever created by an automaker. The cars, the driving, the production and even the story lines were enough to keep you transfixed throughout each seven-minute spot.

In celebration of us finally dropping the cash to purchase an unopened example on eBay, we've decided to share our favorite flick from the series, 'Star'. And really, what's not to like? The prototypical protagonist flogs one of the great Q-ships of our time around an unnamed metropolis, relentlessly tossing his dissatisfied client around the back seat and finally dispatching her in front of the camera-toting throngs.

It's just too damned enjoyable to only watch once.
