Apparently, when Hollywood werewolves go out courting women, they drive BMWs. We are referring to Twilight star Taylor Lautner, who was spotted taking Phil Collins’ daughter to lunch in his black BMW 540i.

The car looks menacing and purposeful but also discrete. For protection, the star has brought a couple of bodyguards in the back. The four door saloon comes with five seats and weighs in at just over 1,700 kg (3748 lbs). Its 4000 cc engine provides 306HP at 6300 rpm and 390 Nm of torque at 3500 rpm. The 0 to 62 mph (100km/h) sprint is dealt with in just 6.2 seconds and the car is capable of a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).

In 2008, Taylor auditioned for the iconic role of werewolf Jacob Black in the blockbuster hit Twilight. With the unexpected and sudden success of the film, Taylor, along with fellow cast members Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, found himself being propelled into the spotlight and a world that would change his career and life. Taylor has continued to portray Jacob Black in the following films of the The Twilight Saga, as well as branch out into other roles and films.

The girl he was taking out in the BMW is Lily Collins, Phil Collins’ daughter with British actress Jill Tavelman. The 21-year old is an actress, model, writer and Nickelodeon television host. As a teenager she wrote a column for British magazines Elle Girl, Seventeen, Teen Vogue, and then for the Los Angeles Times.

We wonder what her father thinks about the black BMW with tinted windows.
