As the men drive across the Russian expanse, they encounter corruption, violence, poverty, and various situations characterizing the bleakness and challenges of small-town life in post-Soviet Russia.

Considered to be not only an action film, but also a critique of the policies of Boris Yeltsin, Bimmer depicts the economic crisis that followed Russia's sudden transition to a free market economy, and with it, a lost generation of men who grow up in a world ruled by criminal gangs and corrupt law enforcement.

Despite a modest budget of US$700,000, and a limited cinematic release, Bimmer became a national hit in Russia, noted both for its cinematic quality and its soundtrack. Both the film and its soundtrack have won awards, including the Golden Aries from the Russian Guild of Film Critics.[1]

Plot

Four car trefts nicknamed Ramah, Cat, Dimon and Killa got in trouble and had to runaway from Moscow. On the road they got more and more trouble. At last, without money, without ability to connect with his friends they made attempt of robbery in small town but Ramah and Killa died, Cat caught by police and Dimon hide, leave his BMW in the forest.

Development

At the beginning of the film, it can be seen that the BMW which is being stolen belongs to a Latvian or that the scene is actually meant to happen in Latvia, since the car has improvised 'LV' car license-plates on it. An alternative explanation is that the car was not legally imported into Russia and was being driven with Latvian plates to avoid customs duties.

Some scenes of the film were filmed in the town of Zvenigorod.

The musical theme of the film is the ringtone of Kostya's cell phone.

Sequel

In 2006, Bimmer: Film Vtoroy, a sequel to Bimmer, was released.[2] It was directed by Peter Buslov and written by Kim Belov, Peter Buslov, Denis Rodimin and Ivan Vyrypaev. The film proved to be commercially successful, taking in nearly US$14,000,000 at the box office, even though it didn't have the same positive reviews as the first one. A computer game was released in the same year, titled Bimmer: Torn Towers.^{[citation needed]}
