This is what I get for quoting the original thread and not reading it all.

Re-watch it but pretend it's Jeremy Clarkson's voice. It works, and then you realize the narrator just failed.

So basically a bunch of M3s and M4s made it up a mountain, had a sizzling party, and made M3 touring babies? What an ingenious ad. Doesn't make me feel disgusted at all.

I hope we can get the CSL without the weird body graphics. They look too much like a mustang Mach 1.

Seriously, someone should start a petition to BMW Group to fire their entire marketing team.

"Hans, I know that we accomplished record sales numbers last year for the M + M Performance brands, but on the other hand, some Internet users are complaining that some of these videos are... <checks notes> ... cringey. I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go."

Maybe they target the Mustang fan base??

Everyone banned on the F8X forum: "the new M4 is ugly!"

Likeanowl · 03-07-2022, 07:12 PM

Why is everyone so hyped over an M station wagon lmao

T_N_C · 03-07-2022, 07:15 PM

The theme song reminded me of MCU Avengers lol

mrbrett · 03-07-2022, 07:22 PM

Not the dukes of hazard paint job. I can't keep defending you BMW

therealm3 · 03-07-2022, 07:25 PM

Feels like they hired the crew who does marvel intros with that music and voiceover.

Cars are meh.

Rockshaker · 03-07-2022, 07:26 PM

Looks like a bunch of Mustangs.

"If you're a BMW fan, it's likely you know of the brand's various "Jahre" edition M cars. Meaning "years" in German, the Jahre edition cars were always meant to celebrate certain anniversaries for each model. For instance, the most famous one was the BMW M5 "30 Jahre" Edition, which was created to celebrate thirty years of the M5. Now, there's a new version, the BMW M5 "Edition 35 Years" which is to celebrate, well, thirty five years of the M5…"

CAN BMW and everyone else PLEASE STOP using iconic for every damn product. Sooo original.

Oh, and BMW marketing should make sure they send their royalty check to Dodge for the advertising video of cars with hood stripes fishtailing all over the place.

Is that Verde Mantis or Signal green? Hard to tell.

This would have been a good time to build and bring to the streets an M1 successor.

Getting really tired of the poor marketing strategy as well. BMW marketing needs to go look into their video vault and view the old iconic commercials of past M Cars. Those commercials stirred the soul for real!

Like one previous post read...Lipstick on a pig.

I'm just guessing here; it seems you don't like the video 😂😂

The_Transporter · 03-07-2022, 10:09 PM

Yeah they look terrible, but I think everyone is missing the bigger question here and that is do we think that those stickers add 50 or 100 HP?
These look to be 100HP stickers to me

What do you guys think?

M3EATERS · 03-07-2022, 10:16 PM

Looks like stencil type m4 on the bootlid from the new paint technique too

Don't forget about the G83 dropping it's top aka stripping it off.

Might have been filmed in Sölden, Austria. That's where the BMW Driving Experience Snow training is held.

It could have been worse if the iX M60 appeared at the end— that would have been a nightmare.
