Vienna. “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation”, the latest film in the legendary action series from Paramount Pictures and Skydance, celebrated its glittering world premiere at the Vienna State Opera. As the exclusive automobile partner, the BMW Group provided vehicles for the BMW VIP shuttle fleet at the event. Amidst a crowd of cheering fans and alongside stars Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg and Rebecca Ferguson and director Christopher McQuarrie, the new BMW M3 and the new BMW 7 Series were featured on the red carpet.

Following a successful partnership with “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol” in 2011, the BMW Group placed their automobiles, motorcycles and technologies at the disposal of the production crew at Paramount Pictures for the second time. “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation” will arrive at cinemas in Germany on August 6.

In the latest installment of the action series about undercover agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his Impossible Mission Force (IMF) team, BMW Group vehicles are used in numerous scenes. The new BMW 7 Series demonstrates style and elegance on the streets of Vienna. The new BMW M3 with its supreme performance and characteristic racing genes, together with the BMW S 1000 RR, demonstrate breathtaking vehicle stunts in Morocco. Also featured are the BMW X5 xDrive 40e, the first plug-in hybrid series production automobile of the core BMW brand, and the BMW 6 Series Convertible.

Moreover, BMW ConnectedDrive, the intelligent and unique networking of driver, vehicle and the environment, serves the Impossible Mission Force team throughout the film. In the film and in real life, this innovative system stands for enhanced safety and ride comfort. Features such as camera and assistance systems are used to the IMF team’s advantage.

“It’s great to see the outstanding results of our exciting cooperation with ‘Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation’,” said Ian Robertson, Member of the Board of BMW AG, Sales and Marketing BMW. “Their dynamic performance, technological leadership and the unique BMW ConnectedDrive system render our BMW models the perfect vehicles for Ethan Hunt and his IMF team.”

“MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – ROGUE NATION.” With the IMF disbanded and Ethan (Tom Cruise) out in the cold, the team now faces off against a network of highly skilled special agents, the Syndicate. These highly trained operatives are hellbent on creating a new world order through an escalating series of terrorist attacks. Ethan gathers his team and joins forces with disavowed British agent Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson), who may or may not be a member of this rogue nation, as the group faces its most impossible mission yet. Starring Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Ving Rhames, Sean Harris and Alec Baldwin.

The film is directed by Christopher McQuarrie, with a screenplay by Christopher McQuarrie and story by Christopher McQuarrie and Drew Pearce. Based on the television series created by Bruce Geller. Produced by Tom Cruise, J.J. Abrams, Bryan Burk, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Don Granger. Jake Myers is an executive producer.

Can't wait to see it

It will be refreshing seeing a movie without having every car be an Audi...

They obviously used M3s in the movie bc they actually look like M cars to the untrained eye. #sedannation

I'm looking forward to seeing the movie too!
When Ghost Protocol came out I was invited to a special event by my local BMW dealer to share food & wine at a very nice restaurant, followed by the showing of MI Ghost Protocol.
It was fun - They had a few BMW's parked out front of the theater and there was an entire theater full of BMW fans (and Mission Impossible fans too!).



The experience above was positive. My local BMW dealership has been good to me during the purchase of 3 previous BMWs.

Just ordered my SS M4 from my local dealership.

Of course Ethan Hunt and Mission Impossible had nothing to do with my exterior color selection...

I'm liking the new 7-Series but not buying Tom Cruises hair coloring.

I was wondering who would be the first to take a shot a Cruise.

Anyways, I'm taking the day off on Friday to catch the movie... Should be good.

Just that Daniel Craig seems bad-ass cool and Tom Cruise kind of Hollywood petulant.

Daniel doesn't have the balls to hang from the side of the plane when its taking off. You cam say all you want about tom cruise but he's a bad ass

[DCG]

A great movie franchise with great cars, hot chicks, you can't beat that!

I got to sit on Tom's black Triumph Speed Triple that was used in MI2 back when the movie was out. If you want to see a great motorcycle stunt sequence check out MI2.

Never liked how fake unrealistic some of the stunts in these movies are.

Mission impossible stunts are relatively better done in my opinion.

Or hang 2000+ feet from the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

+1.

And even more so in Jack Reacher... That chase between the Chevelle SS and Audi A6(?) was damn good.

Agreed. Cruise is a bad ass and does all these wild stunts on his own. Damn impressive to me. He raises the bar each time.
