Throwback: THX Trailer feat. BMW Z4 M
Oldie but goodie.
Mods feel free to move/delete if repost but I came across an old THX trailer called "Tex 3: Action" from circa 2006. Background: In 2006, the premium sound system in the BMW Z4 achieved THX Certification. Quote:
In honor of the Z4 achieving THX certification, THX and BMW collaborated to create a THX trailer. I'm not certain what films contained this trailer, but to my knowledge it was released around the time of 2006. In this 30 second trailer video, Tex (the THX mascot) is shown sucked into the S54 engine of the Z4 M as the starts up and revs. The animation is quite good and the video follows Tex as he is sucked into the intake manifold and through the throttle bodies before ending up in the combustion chamber and expelled out the exhaust. The video reminds me of BMW's own subsequent video of similar flavor, featuring a camera inside the E9X M3's S65 engine.
