So that's what the periscope thing should have looked like!

The periscope reveal itself was rather meh, but whatever, they've gained new followers and that's what counts I guess?

The content may have been fine, but Periscope feed itself was a complete fail.
It froze, and the audio was out of sync.

I would not rely on Periscope for any campaign I actually wanted to reach my audience.

5000 views for this terribly expensive live event is a huge fail.

BMW, please. Please please please please PLEASE, never do that periscope crap again. Youtube Live, hell yeah. Periscope, hell no. That reveal would have been incredible if it were on YT Live.

Periscope = Fail

February the journalists will drive it.

Interesting set up... Outcome low for such a big brand like BMW. They should have reached a lot more people.

What an embarrassment that periscope was. Told all my friends about it the moment it started, and then had to apologize for wasting their time. Worst quality live stream ever.
