To celebrate the DVD release of the hit movie Paycheck, starring Ben Affleck,
BMW Motorrad is offering its R1150 Rockster as featured in the film as the star
prize in two separate promotions organised by Universal Pictures and the
Play.com website.
Fans of BMW's radical 1150cc roadster, who purchase Paycheck on DVD can enter
an instant win promotion to win a Rockster, worth £7,510. The competition runs
until 30 June and each DVD comes with a special code that can be entered on the
Universal Pictures website. The competition is being promoted at all major DVD
retailers and is being advertised in national and regional newspapers, men's
lifestyle, motoring and film titles over the course of the next few weeks.
In addition, a second R1150 R Rockster is being given away in association with
the Play.com website and there are two ways to enter - either online at
www.Play.com before 31 May or by visiting the BMW stand at the BMF Show on
22-23 May and completing a simple competition entry form.
About the R1150 R Rockster
The Rockster is a sportier version of the successful R1150 R Boxer twin model,
from where it derives its engine, gearbox, frame, swing arm and electrics.
Although the Rockster is primarily about innovative design and forward thinking
- it incorporates all the best components and elements of the current boxer
range - it is a machine that shows a new face and character.
Striking twin-tone paintwork in matt black and a choice of Citrus Green
Metallic and Orange Metallic colour schemes gives the Rockster a truly unique
identity that will appeal to all fans of naked roadsters, who want a motorcycle
that performs as good as it looks.
About Paycheck
Ben Affleck stars as Michael Jennings, a brilliant computer engineer hired by
high-tech corporations for specialized top-secret projects. Once a job is
complete, Jennings routinely has his short-term memory erased so as not to
divulge any sensitive company information to future clients. Highly paid for
his work, he expects to earn $4.4 billion at the end of his latest 3-year
project. But upon completion of the job, instead of a big paycheck, Jennings is
handed an envelope filled with random objects and told that he has agreed to
forfeit all payment. With his memory erased as usual, Jennings has no way to
prove them wrong until he discovers the objects are clues to the puzzle that
once was his past. But with Federal agents hot on his heels, Jennings quickly
learns that more than just his paycheck is at stake. In a race against time,
Jennings must put the pieces together with the help of Rachel (Uma Thurman),
the woman he has worked with and loved for the past three years who rekindles
his memory of their life together, before the people he once worked for have
him killed.
