I *think* I may have spotted one snuck into a scene in Eddie Murphy's "Holy Man" when Jeff Goldblum goes over to his girl's house one rainy evening. The car was vaguely shown in the darkness but I think it was an 8 because of the way the side windows were shaped and the way the window dropped a little bit when he opened the door and resealed afterwards. I know other bimmers do this too, but I had a gut feeling it was an 8 in this scene.

At the end of the film, however, Goldblum was seen driving a jag... It was definitely NOT the same car as the other scene.

Any other films featuring our beloved E31?

"Glengarry Glenross" w/ Jack Lemmon. From the early to mid 90s. Movie was about a bunch of losers who were selling -- or not selling -- vacation real estate. The bad guy from headquarters who came down to jerk a knot in the slackers was driving an 850. It was shown only in an outside scene, at night, parked in the pouring rain. When the slackers were going to meet with the bad guy they walked past the car and exclaimed over it. In the chewing out that followed the bad guy mentioned his "$100,000 car" and his "$10,000 Rolex" as examples of what the slackers could accomplish if only they'd try. Frankly, not a very flattering use. And a depressing movie. But it was in there.
