Ralph ◊ 2005-01-18 00:43	BMW E38 735i drove by Jason Statham
carfan ◊ 2005-09-25 02:20	it's a 1999 model
Adrian ◊ 2006-03-17 16:12	Wow, was this impressive! It is confirmed, this car is an E38 Euro 735i. The driver (main character) says so in one of his lines (while he is washing the car). Excellent photograpy/cinematograpy of this car (both interior and exterior). Note that this car has a manual transmision. Very rare I would imagine (even for a Euro model) - a manual has not been available on any US 7-series since `88-`89. The E38 735i in this move is also fitted with after-market wheels. I wonder if the sounds are real on this car. In the movie it sounds a little too much for an E38 735i - the engine screams/howls like crazy. I have my doubts these engine sounds are from this E38 735i - way too noisy (although it sounds awesome). Overall, amazing stunt drivng. Absolutely fantastic! Hard cornering, high speed-manuevers, slides, jumps, etc. Must See!
Ralph ◊ 2006-03-22 10:28	so we can say 5 ***** stars ?!
antp ◊ 2006-03-22 13:37	It depends of the car is really linked with the movie or not... I guess it is the case here?
Adrian ◊ 2006-03-23 18:39	Judging from the headlights, it's not a 1999. In 1999, BMW mildly changed the headlights (the plastic covers have circular dips in the design vs. the `95-`98 straighter plastic covers). This is a `95-`98 E38 735i.
Christian E-38 ◊ 2006-05-02 17:00	This is not an 735i. I can't remember exactly the year of it, but anyone can see its a pre facelift. If you watch the movie with directors commentary Jason tells you that This is a rebuilt 735. It has a V12 engine (750) and a manual transmission. It is one of a kind E-38 with V12 AND manuall transmission. -- Last edit: 2006-05-02 17:03:01
Christian E-38 ◊ 2006-05-02 17:02	They also use 2 or 3 different cars in the movie. If you look closely at the seats sometimes it got regular seats and sometimes there is Sports seats in it. You can see it on the headrest.
hughie522 ◊ 2006-08-10 07:07	I'd say it deserves five stars. It had a large role in this movie. The saddest part of this movie is when 'the thing' that happens to this car happens (don't want to spoil it, because it's a shock every time I see it :P).
antp ◊ 2006-08-10 09:43	Then the Audi of the 2nd movie also deserve 5 stars I guess
appassionato ◊ 2006-08-10 18:25	Yes, for me this BMW 7er E38 and the Audi deserve five star.
appassionato ◊ 2006-08-14 12:55	Yes, for me this BMW 7er E38 and the Audi deserve five star.
antp ◊ 2006-08-14 12:58	appassionato wrote Yes, for me this BMW 7er E38 and the Audi deserve five star. You already said that four days ago
appassionato ◊ 2006-08-14 18:17	Sorry, my PC click "Post" when I enter in this page. Now OK. Sorry!
appassionato ◊ 2006-09-06 12:14	In the movie they said it's a 1999 735i, but it's impossible, in 1999 BMW sell the restyling version of the 7er E38. (since end 1998, so MY 1999, if I remember well). -- Last edit: 2006-09-06 19:09:20
G-MANN ◊ 2006-11-27 15:29	This doesn't deserve five stars, it is used a lot at the beginning but gets blown up when the film is about a third of the way through. -- Last edit: 2006-11-27 15:30:15
antp ◊ 2006-11-27 16:36	That's why at first I only gave it 4 stars
Ralph ◊ 2006-12-04 13:29	this movie lives from this car and the action scenes on the begining. The Car is very important car (VIC ). The story is't so nice with an another car. 5 stars
antp ◊ 2006-12-04 13:32	As said above, the car is actually seen only for a part of the movie. It is blown before the middle of the movie or something like that. Unlike other major cars featured in the whole movie.
G-MANN ◊ 2006-12-04 13:50	5 stars is a rating usually reserved for legendary cars and this film isn't exactly noteworthy (it stars Jason Statham for crying out loud). To me this car is less special than the one in Tomorrow Never Dies. -- Last edit: 2008-01-18 23:17:23
benny ◊ 2006-12-04 18:23	We would have 4.5 stars for cars like this... Ralph wrote Very important car (VIC) -- Last edit: 2006-12-04 18:27:24
G-MANN ◊ 2007-02-17 19:16	Adrian wrote I wonder if the sounds are real on this car. I wouldn't always try to identify the engine of a car in a movie by the noise it makes, you do know many movies redub the sound effects, so the noises used for car engines are often from something different to make it sound more powerful.
bmwtv ◊ 2007-09-03 22:26	The V12 in the 8-Series I drove for a couple of years made a magnificent throaty howl when pushed hard -- quite different from the satin purr emanating during easy cruising.
audicrazy ◊ 2009-02-08 04:55	Straham trades to an S Klasse after his 7 is exploded at the rest stop.
fordbmwaudi24v8 ◊ 2009-04-11 23:29	they had alot of different names for this car in the movie frank called a a 1999 bmw 735 tarconi called it a 1999 bmw 765 then there was another person who called it a 1995 bmw 765 which one is it????? do they even know?
RDS ◊ 2009-04-19 06:11	Very nice 7-Series ... End up with Explode !

XeroRamCharger ◊ 2012-04-15 09:17	Better than the Audi A8
jthe transit fan ◊ 2017-07-31 05:49	5 stars
steeeel ◊ 2020-01-24 00:14	i can not imagine if transporter would drive the new cheap designed 7 model '20 today:))))))
Honda Pete 81 ◊ 2020-07-01 14:44	It is definitely a V12 with a manual gearbox custom built for the film it says on the internet and on wiki
