BMW is back in Hollywood with Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol

Munich/Los Angeles. Back in Hollywood. BMW is pleased to announce their participation in the upcoming Paramount Pictures release “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol” as the film’s main automotive partner.

High performance with fewer emissions is the name of the game: One of the BMW vehicles provided for Tom Cruise´s next film is the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept car. It has been recognized as having the most sophisticated technology and the most striking design among the current concept electric supercars. In a few years the BMW i8, which was inspired by the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept vehicle, will enter series production.

“We are thrilled to be involved again in another Hollywood Blockbuster,” said Ian Robertson, BMW AG Board Member for Sales and Marketing. “The BMW Group leads the way in developing future mobility with a focus on sustainability. One great example is the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept car which will be presented in the film. With its futuristic design and large glass surfaces, the car offers a fascinating perspective on the future of sheer driving pleasure – in combination with maximum efficiency. Also with BMW ConnectedDrive technology, it is the perfect car for Ethan Hunt to outsmart his pursuers through narrow streets and busy city traffic.”

BMW Financial Services Brings Competitive Spirit of the Olympic Games to Company’s Regional Service Center – Associates Enjoy “BMW Drive for Team USA” at Hilliard Facility

Olympic Gold Medalist and Inductee of Columbus Hall of Fame, Jerry Page, Attends and Highlights How Performance & Commitment Ideals Drive Workplace and Community Values

HILLIARD, Ohio – June 27, 2011 – BMW Financial Services took advantage of the overall BMW Group’s national “BMW Drive for Team USA” campaign to spark the enthusiasm of its more than 700 associates, while showcasing its own pledge to performance and commitment within the workplace, throughout the community and toward the support of Olympic athletes. Throughout the day, BMW FS Associates were able to test drive an array of award-winning BMW cars, while additionally sharing in passions for excellence with Olympic Gold Medalist and Columbus resident Jerry Page, who was on hand to emphasize what it takes to compete at a world-class level.

Jerry Page was the light-welterweight on the 1984 U.S. Olympic Team, where he remained undefeated and won the Gold medal for the United States. His amateur career was equally impressive (101-30), in which he was a six-time Golden Glove champion, three-time parade All American, the number two ranked light-welterweight in the World for two years, National Sports Festival champion, and the 1983 Pan-Am Games Silver medalist. Additionally, as an amateur, Jerry won the prestigious State of Ohio Governor’s Award and was inducted into the Columbus City Hall of Fame.

According to Wayne E. Orchowski, Vice President of Operations North America and Chief Operating Officer for BMW Group Financial Services, BMW Group is a partner for the United States Olympic Committee, and will act as the Official Mobility Sponsor for Olympics through 2016. “We are committed to the pursuit of excellence in all we do,” said Orchowski. “Outwardly, we provide ongoing support for the tremendous opportunities provided to Olympic athletes, and internally, we strive to employ individuals with the passion to achieve success through their own personal commitments to quality and performance.”
