Presumably to make less mess when they flip it over? ... not much attention to detail to leave it so obvious.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispian_J_Hotson Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Refuse to watch it on principal and for me it had a completely opposite effect that ads are supposed to have. It's like that other ad with the annoying bloke of size and the blue Merc. In fact, people or companies destroying anything valued, old and that of which is cherished by others are just being a bunch of arseholes and they can all get in the fucking sea. It's just wanton destruction. bangernomics, Tadhg Tiogar, Springer and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 It's odd that they used a sought after car like that. It doesn't anger me as much as the Ford Scrappage radio advert just now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sierraman Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Don’t get why you’d pick a E28 to smash up, they are worth a few quid. Surely you’d crash some time expired old Focus. Seems a pointless waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirton Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) I have been told that in the latest Mission Impossible film a number of e28 m5s are totalled, and that these are real m5s not lesser models tarted up; apparently the director insisted on real m5s being used (insert an appropriate term) and in a multi million dollar film the cost was immaterial; furthermore due to insurance liability the remains were crushed not parted out for their valuable spares. I am weeping but also anticipating the increase in value due to the fall in numbers - possibly 1% of the 587 lhd built for Europe - there are about 1,400 USA spec with strangled engines and forget car bumpers Edited September 14, 2019 by kirton more info added chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirton Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 The suspension on that car is quite high compared to mine where you can only just get your hand in flat between tyre and wheel arch which ties in with the tale of the film cars being fitted with e34 suspension parts. Someone knew what they were doing. The wheels are correct and what I want for mine, not quite unobtainium but close, and unobtainium money. There are varieties of style 5 wheels that look the same but aren't. I got quite excited about the wheels on the brown Senator, correct to look at, correct pcd and width but wildly wrong offset, and that is before I got to centre bore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutty2006 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I’ve just seen a Diet Coke advert with an old bloke wollarding on an Opel Monza. It’s an autoshiters wet dream. EssDeeWon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigstraight6 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Why trash an E28, surely a 1 series would be more appropriate if only the producers could find one that still moves under its own power. I loved the ‘82 528i I owned once... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the owner of the green Dolomite that Top Gear filled with water. The buyer turned up paid the asking price without even looking at the car and just drove away in it. All the bits that "Fell off" were fully refurbished parts so had been loosened for comedy value. paulplom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssDeeWon Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 How odd to use that lovely E28 but to some people its just old and looks good for the advert. They drive Evokes and got their bunce for producing the advert so don't really care. I work in media and might even know some of the people behind this advert, we do book for Go-Compare. Without tarnishing every single one of them they would not care about the rarest of all cars getting crushed if it delivered the advert as ordered by Go-Co, it funds the evokes, flats in Clapham and nights out in shoreditch.

Ha, I work on the finance side of things and not every day with the 'media types' but I wouldn't miss it for more than about 90 seconds, generally its ok but im not all that sociable at work anyway. My lying alcohlic manager is the biggest bug bear but thats for another thread on another day. paulplom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyersey1234 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I think it's a stupid advert tbh, no doubt someone was paid eleventy billion pounds to come up with it. EssDeeWon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage5000 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 It’s possible that final scene is computer generated. A purchased 3D model would be cheaper than doing it in real life, the fallen tree is 100% CG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
