In keeping with the current trend for product endorsement in movies i did notice FWDAJ was rife with it............
I noticed SONY, MERCEDES, and STARBUCKS were plugging their product although BMW seemed to be getting a kick in the groin.........lol........

Did anyone notice anything else??...........

fluffy :lol:

You know it's funny because although BMW got a dissing at the start of the film, the movie was FULL of BMWs throughout. My bloke is a fanatical BMW fan and I had to agree that in the end, based on numbers of cars shown......BMW had to have had a few quid invested in that movie. They were everywhere!
I have driven a few in my time, and they are nice cars for sure......

But there was one Mercedes shown first, and then a ton of BMW's, so I thought that the point was that Mercedes is a better car. Actually I need to watch it again! :lol:

Hmm. perhaps you are right...
Thing is, I live in a household that adores everything that is BMW so I know I am slightly biased. :lol:
I think if I (personally) had the choice......I'd go BMW. 8)

BMW's are cheaper than Mercs that might be a reason.

but mercedes has cool stuff in their cars.. i'm a mercedes fan and when i saw the S500 that was really cool
but i thought they were trying to promote BMWs because there was a scene that was in the parking lot that was lined with BMWs

Jim jumped into a Mercedes, and then drove to the lot filled with BMW's.
