So from 5mins to 5mins and 7seconds....2 different times they use a shot where the camera and car are moving at together perfectly...as if the camera is attached to the car, but u can obviously see it is not. All I can think of, is that whatever rig is connected to the car, has been painted out. If not, i'm lost.

I don't know what they'd use (I've also wondered how they've done this, seen it done in other car ads as well). But the shadowing looks suspect on the right front section below the bumper. As if they painted out something there.

I am waiting for the video to load, but my guess (w/o seeing it) is like most videos with chases. They have a chase car with the rigging. To the the akward shots the would hinder the car. Ill look at it and edit it. Last thing I did we had hell with car rigs, so we tried it all... Paivis became our best friends. I'll see what I can see. (no I'm not a film student, just a guy who;'s done a lot of film stuff so don't go ape shit if i miss a mark)

I remember seeing a behind the scenes video about all those BMW films, and I believe that the rigging is attached to the actual BMW and then painted out later.

Here's the video:

Check out at the 4:52 mark. I don't know if that's the correct rigging for a shot such as that but it might be. I'm not sure.

Yep, it's a camera rig that's been painted out. Ritchie's using a real wide lens, so the camera isn't as far away from the car as you might think.

Pretty standard stuff.
