Hello,
Welcome to this months Webclips, let’s start with a really great short movie directed by Guy Ritchie called simply “Star”, it’s from a series of short films sponsored by BMW and, in my opinion, this is the best one, enjoy: http://bit.ly/15ORVmz there is lots of information about the series on Wikipedia here: http://bit.ly/10jsbXd

All were directed by famous directors such as Guy Ritchie,
Tony Scott, John Frankenheimer, John Woo amongst others, the driver is Clive
Owen.
There were also 4 smaller movies, "The Subplot
Movies", that were shot and directed by Ben Younger. These were designed
to fill in the gaps between the five films and featured a man who appeared to
be tracking the Driver, They appear to have no real connection to the movies at
all and make no real sense, however, they contained clues that were part of
an alternative reality game that could lead fans to a party in Las
Vegas.
Up next is something we haven’t featured for a while, it’s a
“build” thread, in this case it’s an E34 M5, http://bit.ly/15OUllf and
as you will see, a very thorough job…
Here’s one of my usual entries, some great rallying action: http://bit.ly/183E6zW
Here’s a nice little story about Nick Parente and his E30 which is
his first car. The story begins in July of 2012 when he purchased the car, it
was in a pretty bad way, it was in desperate need of paint and body-work as
well as exhaust, suspension and a rebuilt cylinder head, None of these issues
or the many that followed stopped the transition from a once-faded BMW with
panels in three different colours to an incredibly clean example of BMW's first
AWD production car: http://bit.ly/12Pm9CI
One final video, taken at the BMW Vintage show in Saratoga
Springs, New York. The event was held on the grounds of the Saratoga Automobile
Museum, and they attracted some very noce looking, and very rare BMWs: http://bit.ly/14YzDzO
