Even if you barely follow celebrity news, it should come as no surprise that celebrities love buying and driving around in high-end cars — but while we’re used to seeing them in some of the most expensive vehicles out there, not every celebrity wants to drive just exotic super-cars.
Some celebrities prefer more down-to-earth luxury cars and have been known to cruise in their BMWs. Here are eight celebrities that we know drive BMWs.
1. Pierce Brosnan
BMWs were the vehicle of choice for Pierce Brosnan’s 007, and it seems like the actor himself has similar taste. The Irish-American actor, who is best known for his time on screen as James Bond, has been known to drive a BMW i8, one of the most advanced sports cars from BMW.
The i8 is a stylish enough car for any secret agent, built for high speeds and maneuverability — and it’s also fully electric, which is likely a big plus for Brosnan, who is a committed environmentalist.
2. Britney Spears
Britney Spears isn’t known for driving exotic imports — instead, she’s been seen driving a more modest BMW Mini Cooper. The Mini Cooper is one of the most iconic and easily recognizable models of car, making it a perfect fit for the singer who was once one of the biggest names in pop music and is worth more than $200 million today.
3. Charlie Sheen
Sheen has been seen driving a couple luxury cars — including a Mercedes S Class and a Maserati GranCabrio — but still finds room in his collection for a BMW X5.
4. Gigi Hadid
The American supermodel was the star of one of BMW’s biggest ad campaigns in 2016, which featured her along with the BMW M2 Competition Coupe.
5. Reese Witherspoon
Reese Witherspoon is known for having a huge number of daily drivers, but still counts a BMW among her collection of cars. Witherspoon was spotted driving a BMW ALPINA B7 with her husband, who appear to have found a place for one of the most stylish and luxurious BMWs in their car collection.
6. Angelina Jolie
The actress picked up a hybrid vehicle from BMW long before they were cool, back in 2007. She and her husband Brad Pitt are both outspoken environmentalists, so it’s easy to see why the couple would be quick to add a Series 7 to their collection of cars.
7. Scottie Upshall
The National Hockey League player who has collected more than 800 appearances in the League since his debut in 2003, Scottie Upshall has also been known to drive the i8, one of the most in-demand BMWs with a fully electric engine.
8. Jerry Ferrara
Probably best known for his role as Turtle from Entourage, Ferrara has been known to drive around town in his BMW X5.
Celebrities with BMWs
Celebrities are known for buying and driving some of the most luxurious and advanced cars out there — for some, that means keeping a BMW in their car collection.
There are many reasons why a celebrity would want a BMW — whether it’s because of their stylishness, their performance or because they want a greener, hybrid vehicle — so it makes sense that there’d be so many who keep a BMW in their garage.
