What BMW is featured prominently in Texasville, the 1990 sequel to The Last Picture Show (1971). Both movies are directed by Peter Bogdanovich, & both star Jeff Bridges, Cybill Shepherd, Annie Potts, Timothy Bottoms, Cloris Leachman, Randy Quaid, & Eileen Brennan.

In the movie Texasville (set in 1984), Annie Potts drives a white 1984 BMW 745i E23 (seen in 14 scenes). Cybill Shepherd drives a big Mercedes. The film also includes a VW Beetle convertible. This movie should be added to IMCDb, & the BMW & Benz should have at least 4 stars each.

Thanks, I added the BMW & VW. But to add the Mercedes I would have to know the model or at least the W-code.

Thanks, I added the vehicles.
If you wish you can add these info to each vehicle page.
About star-rating, the cars used a lot in that series will get 4 stars at most. 5 stars for cars in series is for Kitt (knight rider) or General Lee (dukes of hazard); i.e. series based on the car.

Texasville is not a TV series. It is a 2-hour movie.

Sorry, I do not know why I thought to a series (maybe because of "smallville"? :grin: )
Anyway, the idea is the same: 5 stars is for cars on which the movie or story is based, or that become internationally famous.
