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.

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.
