Mission: Impossible – Fallout: A showcase for performance BMWs

by | Aug 15, 2018 | BMW, car service

While Tom Cruise fans are enjoying his latest appearance as Ethan Hunt in the next instalment from the Mission Impossible franchise, the Volks Affair BMW service team is looking forward to watching those BMWs in action. BMW has partnered with Paramount Pictures since 2011 in the amazingly popular Mission Impossible movies.

Mission to Thrill – BMWs perfect advertisement

“Mission to Thrill” is the name of BMWs new marketing campaign and the movie is a spectacular display of thrilling car chases and vehicle stunts.

The cars showcased include:

  • BMW M5
  • BMW 5 series sedan (1986)
  • BMW 7 series sedan

And for a bit of fun the BMW RnineT Scrambler – because what would a Mission Impossible movie be without some daring motorbike stunts?

The Head of Brand Communications at BMW – Uwe Dreher said:

” BMW and Mission: Impossibleare a perfect fit. This provides the ideal stage for our most dynamic business athlete: the BMW M5.”

An ‘athlete’ it certainly is – it’s a sleek, high performance sedan with a 4.4 litre V8 biturbo engine with TwinPower Turbo technology. It is going to deliver some edge of the seat, fast-paced sequences.

Also making an exciting appearance is the 1986 BMW 5 series sedan (E28) – proving that even older models of German engineered vehicles still have what it takes. This was the first of the 5 series to come with an anti-lock braking system (ABS).

If you’re a BMW fan, make sure you find some time to see German vehicles pushed to the limit in Mission: Impossible – Fallout.
