face lift X5 sighting in Movie "DESCENT"

I rented it today and was surprised to see a good 3-5 minutes of a Silver 04+ 3.0 X5. There was some good shot of it driving on a back road through the wood and then cruising on some dirt trails. The move is called Descent and was a somewhat recent release. The movie was pretty suspenseful but no awards will be won for acting, thats for sure! My fiance and I jumped and had to look away afew times. And I usually don't get scared with movies. Anyways just thought I'd share. Any other movie that the X5 made an apperance?

Is that the movie with the dumb women who go cave adventuring?

If so, that was a 3.0d.... I wonder if BMW sponsered the movie any bit...

Haha, I saw it with a few friends, and at the end where she took the other SUV (pretty sure it was a Bronco), my friends asked me why she didn't take the X5. It hurt telling them that the X sucks offroad, and she probably would have gotten stuck somewhere.

Many people say this but the x5 has a very tough body and under frame but its just the fact that it is very low and quite a heavy car.

Usually if you venture off-road, you want a 4x4, of which, the X5 is not.
