BMW Product Placement in Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol

I was no fan of James Bond driving German cars, but I did like the print and TV ads that accompanied the marque's tenure as Bond Car. People give spy movies (and especially the Bond films) a hard time for their product placement, but it's actually an aspect of the films I enjoy.
