Post Joy is BMW (Jumping ad)

Do some of you do this? I do not like this ad at all for BMW, though it was funny to see what happened to the Audi driver....

I guess people hop into cars now?

Dukes of Hazzard influence? Seems if Dodge had any brains, they would have used it for themselves.

I like the ad, most ads are just to get you to keep watching, and retain the brand name/ad concept/catch phrases/motto/jingles in your head. Doesn't matter if you like it or not, it moved you enough to post and thus you'll remember it.

Good ad by BMW.

Any ad that generates conversation is a success. Like G Star said, the point of the ad is for it to stay in your head for any reason.

Plus that new 5 series GT actually looks pretty decent in it.

If the old cougar is jumping into her X5 through the sunroof...wouldn't she fall directly onto the gear shifter? crazy cougar....

The best BMW commercials were the Clive Owen "the driver" ones.

I liked all "the driver" ads. If you can call them ads.. those were real exciting. It was a good ad, but kinda too much stretching for each person.

Amusing commercial, nothing more. It did the job intended.

I did jumped/climbed into my Del Sol, but that's due to parking in a very tight garage and I've put my top down....

Definitely a conversation piece and it made me want to keep watching until the end. That's what a god add does. Who wants to hear the same old stuff they always say about BMW's. This is different.

It won't make me buy one though.
I'll tell you what will. Today I'm riding down a major road, pull off from stop light at a good clip. A BMW 335 next to me sees my burst and pulls right past me. That will make me want one.

You mean 1992 318i blow past your GS300? 335 should be able to pull right past GS300 in about 13sec AFTER giving you 2 second head start.
