Default Saw the W12 in The Transporter tonight ..
I liked the first movie better, but this one was fine .. the driving sequences are better in Europe with their insanly narrow roads and bustling town centers .. situating the new movie in Miami added nothing, and detracted some.

If you liked the first one, then you'll like the second one.

Default the auto seems kinda out of place though
considering how rowing through the gears makes for such good shots.

Default In the DVD commentary, he says that it's a 1-of-a-kind 12 cylinder stick ...
... and that they were extremely lucky to have use of it.

The only manual BMW 7series was a straight 6 cylinder 735, the same as 535s
