but to me that ads is kinda in bad taste to me....

You are correct but not too many companies have great ideas. BMW will not stand out from the rest with this new slogan. Keep the old one...

Fire the marketing team!


This slogan takes the focus off the car, and puts it on a COMPANY with a whole mess of mistakes lately.

This just opens it up for LEXUS to be "The Ultimate Driving Machine".

They couldve made their new slogan "We make cars with wheels" and it would be equally as vauge and uninspiring for such a nameplate. So I dont know how to interpret this, so BMW is no longer the Ultimate Driving Machine or what who knows

At least they're being honest by not saying they're "A Company of Good Ideas".

Cool.

Turns out they are using the line as a temporary supplement to their ads.
