The second trailer of the upcoming BMW ‘Escape’ short film reveals the new 5-Series as the main star of the reborn series.

BMW Films are making a return after almost 15 years since the original -and highly acclaimed- video series came out,  with Clive Owen sitting again on the driver’s seat.

We still don’t have a clue about the plot of the new short film ‘The Escape’, but we do know that a brand new BMW 540i will be Owen’s ride. From what we can tell from the two trailers released so far, we are in for an action-packed chase scene complete with explosions, helicopters, guns and lots of stunts.

As for the main star of the show, the new BMW 540i is powered by a turbocharged 335hp 3.0-litre straight-six unit which should allow it to be a proper escape vehicle. We’re guessing that Owen would like something with a bit more poke, but the new M5 is still not ready for him.

The new film features many actors and actresses, including John Bernthal, Dakota Fanning and Vera Vermiga, promising us a really high production value, just like before. As for the film’s premiere, this will take place at the BMW Films website on Sunday October 23 at 6 pm EST.
