Famous BMW Drivers
Posted in General on 26. Oct, 2011
BMW is a brand naturally inclined towards high profile drivers. The BMW badge has been a status symbol for a long time and it puts forward an image of style, edge and performance. It seems that the BMW is popular with movie stars and footballers – young drivers with a lot of money make it their number one choice – maybe it’s not as safe or stately as the Audi, Jaguar or Mercedes. BMW’s image is perhaps more cutting edge, fashionable.
Wayne Rooney drove a BMW X5 which is the big SUV type vehicle. The X5 is a large car that delivers high performance – a reflection of Rooney’s big on field presence and tendency to attract the media spotlight.
David Beckham drove a BMW M3 when he played for Man United. The M3 is appropriately a dignified understated BMW which has been a leader in its class for years. He shares his taste for M3’s with former Man United goalkeeper Ben Foster.
Scarlett Johansson was the owner of a BMW Z4 and an advertisement for BMW’s safety standards. She crashed the car and claimed to have been saved by the airbags.
Amy Winehouse drove a BMW 7 Series. The 7 Series is one of the biggest saloon cars on the market and comes complete with BMW’s trailblazing gadgets.
The themes gathered from this list of famous people are high celebrity and youth – people who have made money at a young age and demanded a car with status, style and performance. BMW seem to have laid claim to the young professional type market.
The BMW owned Mini is possibly the most popular celebrity vehicle. Madonna, Simon Cowell and David Hasselhoff have all owned one. Ageing stars who all have an interest in youth culture – the sensible but fun Mini reflects their status.
