BMW Internet Short Films of the Z4

When the Z4 was launched back in 2003 there were a series of short films made by BMW posted to the internet.

One, I remember was a kidnapping story, the others involved shoot outs and "baddies". I think there were 3 or 4 of them in total, all with (I think) a well known US actor. One might have been filmed in San Francisco if I remember correctly. I have tried to locate them again recently but have had no joy.

Does anyone else remember them, or even better, does anyone have a link where I can download them.

Watching them kept me going until I was able to pick my zed up. I never downloaded them, so it would be great to see them again.

Can anyone help?
 
I don't believe they are downloadable. There are in fact, in total. BMW dealers passed out DVD's and I actually have 2. :D

Here's a link to one for sale on eBay, eBay link or you may be able to find them viewable online. Search for BMW Films, The Hire.

BTW, Clive Owen is the actor who appears as "The Driver" in each film.
 
I think it was called "Hostage," directed by John Woo.

Try this YouTube link... at least for starters.
