BMW Promotional @72to16 Instagram Account

TheNeonTiger · 10-13-2015, 04:58 PM

On the bumper of the M2 you can see the Instagram handle @72to16. Clearly the 72to16 handle is an homage to the 2002tii which came out in 1972 and thats where the M2 (2016 obviously) gets some of its design cues.

Using an online Instagram viewer you can see something interesting...

Viewed as a 3X grid you can see all the camouflage fits together to make a single picture. Interesting... I wonder what they have in store for this account.

Man BMWs marketing department is lazy. They did the 2002 marking thing for the M235i and the 135i before.

Anyone get to the end? I did and just got an email saying I'd won a promotional prize pack. A BMW hat and a high gloss print/card. Pretty cool

No. I figured out the first riddle and could not find an instagram account with the answer to the riddle. I tried every combination of the answer, no space, space, dash, underscore between the words. Everything. I DM-ed them and they never responded.

Got through it no win though

I was just contacted as I won one of the 5 grand prizes. Trying to determine if it's legit or not. Would be pretty sweet of it was (2 day M school at the Thermal Club). Trying to find out some more information.

See "BMW M2 IG Chase"

Same here. I also won a hat and a high gloss print!

I completed the M2 Instagram Chase a day after the reveal.

Nice! My email was from helloworldpromotions or something along those lines I think. It also said M2 IG.

Absolutely - I still have my "Year One of the 1" book where there's an entire section dedicated to the 2002.

TheNeonTiger · 11-19-2015, 02:01 PM

Same. won a hat and print. Womp womp. Congrats on being one of the 5 grand prize winners.

Artemis · 11-19-2015, 02:49 PM

Is there actually any contestant who has not won ?

First BMW wants to get rid of a massive stock of Long Beach Blue paint and blue stitching tissue. Added now: hats and prints galore.

michelito · 11-20-2015, 07:13 AM

When did you guys solve and win prizes?

It says the contest ends Oct 27... is that just for the day at the track grand prize?

michelito · 11-20-2015, 07:27 AM

Damn it was so easy to solve too...
