Pwah! Now that's an ad. I could watch that on loop for hours.
Please BMW, give me a spectacle of driving skills like this 1M video so we can all feel proud of the blue and white, not slightly sullied and disappointed as a campaign based around a chic in a red dress makes me feel.
Don't misunderstand me, I get that it's supposed to be tongue in cheek and Gigi is hot and power to her and all that, but meh.
It's underwhelming from the makers of the ultimate driving machine.

Fair call Robin, first two were pretty good I agree. But I'm sure you'll agree not in the same league as the 1M promo. I just don't think a girl in a red dress is the direction I want to see them go. Banging an M car through a few formed concrete slabs sideways will get my vote everyday.

Your kidding right?
Ill take Kate Upton and a M4 GTS next please
Or how about Selena Gomez with an M2

It depends on which language you select for the website. If you select de-de here in Germany you can win a BMW M Snow Drift Training in Sölden (Austria).
Funny part is, you don't have to watch the video, just fill out the form. Even funnier, if you select at-de for people from Austria you can't win anything, just a link to the BMW website, like other countries.

So I think, even BMW itself spend too much time looking at Gigi, something I can't blame them for

BTW here is the alternative version of the teaser video Gigi talking about herself and the M2

You'll get a discount on M school when you buy your new BMW.

Gigi is not even in a bathing suit/bikini and the whole thing is being called 'sexistic' by some, from Sweden of all places .... Anyway...

Let her be the cute girl and make money her own way.

But because we're here at an intercontinental BMW forum and BMW/M2 is an international brand, I'd like to see 5 girls getting in the M2s, making it even more difficult to guess in which car sits who

A mix of intercontinental ladies like:
Charlize Theron
Rihanna
Lucy Liu
Sofia Vergara
Kate Beckinsale

etc etc

Cheers
Robin

she fine tho, just saying

Good list, is this the list your partner would allow you to cheat-on with?

To each his/her own. She's not all that. There are far better looking women waiting tables here in Las Vegas. She's wealthy that's for sure.

If you think that the girl needs to be more or less nude for it to be sexistic you are mistaken. The ad objectifies women and plays on the ancient ideas on how society looks at women.

And your comment about "welcome to 2016" is a bit funny too when it is the complete opposite, it is in the year 2016 this shouldn't happen (if you try to be politically correct).

I personally couldn't care less but it is quite poor judgement from BMW in today's climate when it comes to genders to use this as an ad as it was sure to provoke a lot of people. Half our office said WTF out loud when we watched the ad.

Nothing less than the "Sex sells !" motto put into practice in order to let the ad go viral...

Compare with the 1M ads where they let the car speak for itself. Now we're talking: Was it really that difficult to conceive something like for example the "Perfect Balance" ad ?

"Walls":

"Helipad":

"Perfect Balance":

Don't get it either! Swear I'm not trying to start a war but check out the 1M commercial. Makes more sense than this!

That "Walls" commercial is "Eyes on the 1M" and features several Gigis...

[OrangeCrush]

Ewe yucky! Hot chick with a hot car...blah blah blaaugjccjk!

[swagon]

I see nothing wrong with the commercial - it's just a girl in a dress walking to a car. Nothing sexist about it at all.

Some people should stop overreacting and being too sensitive, I guess.

Exactly. I really thought they were kidding, but probably not. The 'Gutmensch' with their 'political correctness' is taking over EU(rope) and the world. I don't know how to stop those poor pathetic thoughts but anyways. I 'll keep enjoying the beauty of the woman(no sexism at all, come on!)

But hey, whatever, to each their own.

I'm from the Netherlands, a very very liberal country, with gaypride, pot, hookers etc etc(not saying I agree with all of that but wake up please) and now a cute nice model in a bloody dress getting into our fav car is called sexism. I don't buy it. Period.

Next time it's Pitt/Cruise/Bieber/DiCaprio whoever, girls falling in love and nobody gives a damn...

I'ts so unilateral, emancipation/feminism(yech) and hypocricy, because religion thinks differently. So we're in a tie situation...

This is just a nice add. And I feel really surprised how people from'liberal' countries react. Incredible.
