The world of is canonically one of the best places for car lovers. Not only because there are , but also because of the disproportionately high number of models casually cruising around , being so bold as to street park in the Big Apple though they lack Peter Parker’s and Miles Morales’ “spider-sense.”

It’s , which means we’re all going to eat turkey and watch movies; obviously, that means gearheads are going to geek out on . , too. So, I’m going to need you to rewatch , which features some of the coolest animation we’ve seen in a Marvel film so far, and because it’s a veritable treasure trove for car lovers with its cast of Lexus sedans, VW Golfs and even Ford Excursions. There are the new Yugos, of course, and the , the specific model that’s arguably one of the best BMWs ever.

Within the first few minutes of the film, there are E39 M5 sightings galore. First, as Peter Parker saves the city countless times, and reminds us of his cringy dancing. Then later, as the lovable Miles Morales makes his way to school. Parker’s Spider-Man punches what looks like an M5 in the first few seconds, which wouldn’t bode well if that were the only cameo, but it’s not.

The BMWs keep popping up, and that makes me think someone at Sony Pictures Imageworks is a big fan of the E39 M5. It’s obvious the artists behind the film were trying to be efficient with their animation, and reused objects wherever possible. That makes perfect sense for taxi cabs and police cruisers, all of which seem to be modeled after the beloved platform.

But inserting a sports car that’s as distinctive as the BMW E39 M5 had to be a deliberate choice. It’s not like the E39 M5 is that boxy or simple to render in the unique art style of the film. If that were the case, every car in the Spider-verse would have to something less intricate, like a , or Jeep Comanche, or . Clean lines.

And yet the BMW E39 M5 is depicted so often in the background of the film that it stood out to me. That’s probably because I’m always on the lookout for BMWs from the nineties and aughts in every film I watch. I’ve developed a Bav-dar of sorts, I guess. Did you know features a , for example? In any case, go watch again and revel in the world created, full of some of the best sedans and hatchbacks of the aughts.
