I believe i spotted an MB, albeit a biro type, in the German movie "The Baader Meinhof Complex"; don't think i'll be able to get a screenshot but the pen is sported by one of the politician/businessman types during one of their private little 'what are we going to do about these pesky students/terrorists' meetings. Good movie.
