It is important enough for that? The movie does not seem to be based on this car, when I read its summary...

Hallo antp, i know the film. It is a Roadmovie and consists of two leading actors and this
car drove by George C. Scott. The film is comparable with Vanishing Point (Dodge
Challenger RT by Barry Newman)

It was produced between 1956 and 1959.

I saw this movie a few years ago (10?) and it also has an interesting Spanish built Dodge 3700GT? in it as well.

Just recently saw this movie on Speed Channel (doubt it would be played on other networks). I was really impressed! I have never seen an old BMW used so much in a movie. Truly excellent. Awesome, real sounds of engine (no cheap sound dubbing of other vehicle). George C. Scott really drives this BMW 503 hard. Winding the engine near red-line, aggressive cornering etc. I'm so glad they didn't use some common/generic Mercedes, like most movies do when in Europe.

I haven't seen "The Last Run", but I wonder if it was used more or less than in the BMW 325 "The Chase" :)

To answer your question "antp": This BMW 503 is probably not used nearly as much as the BMW 325is in "The Chase". But let me clarify...when I say "old BMW", I mean OLD. I don't consider an E36 old - I really don't. I own an E28 `84 533i (limited production) - that's old. Or anything over 15 years atleast. Watch this movie ("The Last Run"). You'll see what I mean. They actually drive this 503 like it should be driven. The movie "The Chase" is pathetic in comparison. These are genuine scenes with this 503 - you can hear the real sounds of the car, being driven very hard - read my previous comment, and read my comment on "The Chase", on other page.

Seen it 3 times on various TV channels. 503 probably the best looking BMW ever made (to me anyway). Comes to a sticky end in the movie, and I couldn't help hoping they'd faked that bit....

It seems that two 503 were used for filming. One is supposed to have been left in Portugal.

The original car is back in Germany. Found on a scrapyard around London. You can find the documentation in German classic car magazine "Motor Klassik" under Link to "www.motor-klassik.de"

It really has a 5-star role...

Scott is constantly tuning the car as he feels his life depends on it. If I recall, it also has an after market supercharger fitted to it. Car´s the star.

Here you can hear the legendary story of how the car was finally preserved.
It doesn't come from the 2 series but was changed from steering wheel gearshift to stick gearshift to include the overdrive.
