Newman ◊ 2007-11-24 01:28	Having seen the movie the car is a 1990 to 1992 525i. It is not a post '92 car by looking at the old style mirrors that mold into the door as opposed to the later style rectangular mirrors. 1989 model year had non airbag wheels. The car in the movie has wood trim and an airbag wheel, so it is safely a 1990 to 1992 525i.

This has leather seats and also what looks like a red coachline stripe (see thumbnail 1) but I don't know how Newman could tell this has wood trim. The scene is just too dark to see. Also another film appearance of that VKT670 New York plate. -- Last edit: 2016-04-05 22:14:34
