| ![]() Last night a scene from Mission Impossible 4 was shot at Prabhadevi. It included the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept car, a BMW 650ci (2nd Gen) and a BMW 5 series whose front and rear bumpers were removed to mount cameras. I was present at the shoot with fellow T-BHPian dhrishikesh. A traffic jam was simulated on Appasaheb Marathe Marg using second-hand cars from Mahindra First Choice Wheels. There were approximately 50-60 bouncers all over the venue to ensure that photographs weren't taken with nearly 10 of them guarding the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics. I tried to take a close up shot of the 5 series camera car, but a bouncer snatched my camera away with a stern warning that next time, my camera will be impounded. After the shoot started, we positioned ourselves on the foot-over bridge from where we could get clear shots and avoid the bouncers as well. I have pics of both the cars, except the 5 series camera car. Enjoy ! |

Team-BHP Support ![]() | ![]() Great scoops - thanks for this. The bouncer has no right to impound your camera in a public place, unless they closed the entire place off |

| ![]() An Indian guy was driving it. No it wasn't a TV commercial. It was a movie shoot. Yes you're right. This car will be featured in Mission Impossible 4. No celebrities since the shot was from the exterior. There was just a body double. |

| ![]() This is a GREAT scoop! This I think could be the first on-road pics of the i-series (i8 I guess) BMW. I've only seen some camoed pics of this car in some track and in the snow. Thanks a ton for sharing. Appreciate it! AFAIK, Irfan Khan is playing the baddie in MI-4 and these must be for some scenes involving him ![]() |

| ![]() so the key takeaway is not to buy any cars from mahindra first choice near prabhadevi ![]() btw, a HR26BH numbered car? Thats not even 3 month old RC series!! EDIT: Holy camoly, Irfan khan is baddie in MI-4? Time to short Tom Cruise's companies' shares if they are listed anywhere. Anyone remember Kidnap? ![]() Last edited by phamilyman : 23rd April 2011 at 19:51. |

| ![]() Superb catch there RossoCorsa!! That one Bimmer is something to die for!! But I'd prefer killing for it! ![]() Btw, anyone got any clue as to why the Mumbai registration number on the "bmw-vision-efficientdynamics" vehicle is in the reverse order of what it should be? It reads ****-W-02-MH (Pic #2) Last edited by MARCUS_520i : 23rd April 2011 at 20:20. |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() Waw man. What a scoooop Rosso Corsa to capture such a lively action and the machine and braving the bouncers. Looks quite a design with the well designed winged doors. Would be delight to see it in clear sometime. MI4 crew will be awestruck at this. |
