From the NY Post:

"In a chase scene in the subway we werent allowed to bring combustion engines into the Metro, says Gray. "So we called BMW and they created the electric MINIs for us. These are the only ones on planet Earth."

Pretty cool.

Yes, this is true. Let's keep this hush right now. We'll never hear the end of it otherwise, if it gets around.
Anyone know what those engines were kicking out for power?
