I've now obtained ALL 8 of the films from both seasons that were made a few years ago, along with how they made the films and a 'Driving Techniques short as well.
My personal faves are all three from season 2 (Possibly because two of the Producers from all three films are Ridley and Tony Scott, whom I think are awesome ;) )
All of these were originally availble for download, but have since been removed from BMW's site. If anyone is interested in a copy of these (They are on two DVD's, and I can do a proper box as well) give me a PM.
"BMW Films - The Hire - Season 1 & Season 2

BMW’s groundbreaking 'The Hire' film series ignored conventions and created the phenomenon known as online films. The Web has never been the same since. These eight short films by critically acclaimed Hollywood directors effectively revolutionized the world of interactive entertainment, while showcasing the absolute limits of automotive high-performance exclusive to BMW. Over 100 million film views and numerous awards later, The Hire film series served as further proof that when it comes to innovation and technology, BMW has always been ahead of its time.
