    WORLD PREMIERE OF OUR 1995 BMW E31-850CSi FILM.

    My brothers and sisters and fellow 8 owners.
    I am EXTREMELY PROUD to have been given the opportunity to help create this one of a kind film together with the help of 4 of my fellow 8-owners and a team of great filmmakers, in association with BMW GROUP for PETROLICIOUS FILMS.
    We were asked to make this film to help promote the unveiling of the new 8-series directly by BMW in Germany. It was a great honor to do so. I hope you like it. Please enjoy and share the link wherever you can.
    The new 8-series will be unveiled in three days, on May 26th.

    Wow! I actually got emotional when Taylor was speaking of his Father. Great job on the movie Alec. And a great job by Taylor as well. And now I love Eva even more.

    I suddenly feel the need to go for a drive (maybe to the car wash first). Great job!

    A wonderful inspiring piece of work. If anything can and will cause the value of the eight series to rise, this is it. Big thank you to all involved.

    Great great film. Based on how TP talks about the car, I am amazed he sold it.

    Ditto! Plus, I've sent the link to a few car buds (Porsche & Audi owners) and they too loved it.

    Thank you everyone for the kind words. Much appreciated.
    The video has made its way to Jalopnik already within just a few hours of its release.
