just watching csi miami (apologies) and it features a z4 quite a bit. however been a z4 nerd I have spotted a few issues. firstly on the csi computer it shows a prefacelift model even though the car is a post facelft that csi are Investigating.

secondly, a detective refers to something found in the back seat ? obviously done their home work on that one.
 
I know what you mean, I'm not allowed to watch CSI any more as the missus likes it and I pick too many holes in it :headbang:

My favourite was:

Criminal: "I'm innocent!"
Horatio Caine: "I'll be the judge of that!"
Me: "Surely the judge will be the judge of that?"
Missus: "Shush!"
 
There was a similar issue on "Ashes to Ashes" which was meant to be set in the eighties but I spotted a rover 600 (IRCC) in one scene from the mid nineties, it was just pure laziness on their part.

Just watched the repeat of the episode and:

Vehicle is running 18" Bridgestone runflats on the back and Pirellis 'Zeros' on the front, ooh errr!
Its badged as a 3.0 but the exhaust note is a 2.5
Definately post facelift - what a mistake to make!
Rear seats - who wrote this script?
One shot shows an automatic and another a manual - two cars....?
Sports seats in one shot a normal in another!
Mileage on one car 32,472 and 21,930 on another.... etc etc

HOW can they get it so wrong............ :rofl: :evil: :poke: :fuelfire:
 
For those wanting a little more substance can I recommend The Wire box set! Or, for something a little lighter, The West Wing. Both brilliant!

AlanJ... cool job! Understanding of course it's not entirely like the TV show. I heard an interview on the radio a while ago by someone who runs a forensics course at a university, interstingly the enrollment has gone through the roof... but with a high dropout rate when the students accept the reality of the job.

haha! I noticed the same thing. I pointed it out to my girlfriend and she said 'it's only a show' - I think she'd got annoyed by that point anyway because everytime it appeared on screen I said 'that's a nice car. i bet only really good looking people drive those'

im such a loser :D

The first rotting corpse (the smell), call out in the middle of the night, the chopped tomato effect at collisions (I never eat anything with tomatoes in...!,) FUBAR (bodies f...cked up beyong all recognition) and other things unmentionable. Sorts them out AND if only it was a glam as CSI et al but a satisying and damn good job all the same.
 
Thats OK. The attraction of the show, apart from Horatio's one liners, is not nothing looks real. All the "tasteful" back lighting even in the cells and the fact that everyone including the skankiest criminal are all plastic perfect
