I stumbled across this site but can't completely figure it out.

From what I can gather, there's a short film out there somewhere featuring the E60 but I can't seem to find out where I can view the film (download? DVD?)

The website is actually pretty cool. It's very complex -- there's a ton of stuff buried in there -- you need to be adventureous and click around on things to see what I'm talking about.

Anyone know where I can view the film?

The one rudy is talking about is newer then the ones on bmwfilms.com. I am downloading a trailer or something of this movie it's 31.2 mb so it's half the size of the bmwfilms.com films.

Fred, I haven't been living under a rock or anything. Granted, this forum stops me from getting out much but not only did I download each "Hire" film as it was released a few years ago, I have about three copies of the DVD. Oh, and yes, I tried to figure out the subplots of each but wasn't smart enough to figure out the mystery and win the Z3!

edit: Oops, did I say Z3? I meant Z4!

edit: I think I'm getting confused between the two "seasons." The subplots were part of season one and didn't lead to any prize. The season two films had sort of a treasure hunt where you followed clues in the films and won a Z4 if you successfully followed them to Las Vegas on a certain date.

I've just watched the movie. It's 13 minutes.. The 5 series is shown in it and it looks superb. The movie itself is a bit strange but in the end I like it. It is shot very nice.

The Hire originally was released with six short films ("season one") then three were added later to help introduce the Z4.

Season one films:
  • Ambush (7 Series)
  • Chosen (5 Series)
  • The Follow (Z3 & 3 Series)
  • Star (M5)
  • Powder Keg (X5)
The next three films (all featuring the Z4):
  • Hostage
  • Ticker
  • Beat the Devil

Where did you find the movie. Is there a link I missed somewhere on that site?
