BMW F10 in USA Network's "Covert Affairs" - 2011 BMW

Mr. Magic · 09-05-2010, 12:39 PM

Short excerpt - pretty obvious and well done product embed. Aired this last week, still airing today in USA network. I added the annotations to the clip. Anyone recognize the silver color?

Edit: F10 owners might spot the functional flaw here. Rear view image is not inverted. Probably playing a DVD to shoot the clip. Also, rear camera doesn't pan.

Ha! Maybe not on your F10, but I was promised that any time Piper Perabo walks behind my car, the camera will pan and zoom automatically.

USA network is really getting into that whole product placement thing, big time. They aren't real subtle about it either.

Not on EU cars...

Nice clip

Seemed almost like a BMW ad with how they kinda paused on the rear badge and 535i emblem

Just posted that the F10 was also featured in the No Reservations 100th episode. Anthony Bourdain takes it to go around Paris.

Pardon my ignorance, but if he is a CIA agent, shouldn't his car be the mandatory Crown Victoria, Impala or 300C?

Or are CIA agents allowed to drive foreign cars instead of the typical big American saloon car?
