About the film
BMW commissioned legendary composer Hans Zimmer to create a unique sonic identity for the brand - a sound as iconic as the cars themselves. The result is a sweeping, cinematic score that captures the essence of BMW's engineering philosophy: precision, power, and elegance in motion.
I spent 4 hours in Hans Zimmer's SOHO studio shooting BTS as he worked on the BMW Sound - an awesome, awesome experience. Being in that room, surrounded by an extraordinary array of synthesisers and recording equipment, watching one of cinema's greatest composers at work, was something I'll never forget.
