WTF are BMW worried about?? They don't sell 3D models of their cars last I heard. Smart artists would have simply removed all the words BMW from description and titles, and they would be safe.

Damn right some of those models were used in their car commercials. I have no doubt certain time after production of ad commercial or VFX job, the studio NDA and legal crap binding the artist expires, they once again retain rights to use their own models elsewhere, and decide to sell them on TS to make a few extra bucks. BMW is trying to bite the hand that feeds.

I see I'm a little late to this conversation, but I believe it may have something to do with the rebirth of BMW Films. There are quite a number of digitally produced shots of their cars in this film series, and so now the digital reproduction of their automobiles are an asset they need to protect for obvious reasons. They certainly wouldn't want amateurs making films which confuse the general public, or portray their branding in a way they wouldn't approve of.
