Just so you know... I’m 3 minutes in and have already found a flaw. It’s clearly a BMW E46, a ZHP judging by the wheels, but it makes Audi 20v noises that predate it by a good 8 years, at best. Cool noise, but Fail. It’s not hard to get this stuff right, you know?

I mean, like 30 seconds into it the guy says he put $6000 of work into it. The noise didn’t sound pure BMW to me but it sounded accurate... it wasn’t a V8 or a turbo 4 banger. I thought the movie was pretty damn good all things considered.

You may be right. But as a car guy I thought it was bloody good all things considered. Not too tropey, none of the bullshit of Drive, everything made sense, good driving scenes.
I thought I’d hate it and I didn’t

The movie was alright overall, but you are right. The Porsche scenes are better anyway. I never understood dubbing over engine noises, like just film and record the car’s noises as they are...

I don’t know much about BMWs, so I would’ve guessed the car was a 5-series of similar vintage. It was a little tough for me to gauge considering that most all of the shots of the car are of the interior, and the few exterior shots are dolly-cam shots that are attached. I’m not a 100%, but I think I caught that the editing repeated one of the 1-2 shifts, but that was the only mistake that jumped out at me.
Otherwise, I liked it quite a bit. Simple, tense, worlds more grounded than the last five Fast & Furious movies, and there’s reference to (and some attempt at showing) heel-toe shifting. Sounds good to me.
