Default VIDEO: Best Commercial Ever? The E39 BMW M5

According to Autoblog...

Marginal at best. A decent commercial, but quite far from "best ever"

I'll admit it was quite clever but best, I don't think so.

boring and quite lame to be honest. And that is probably the ugliest E39 I've ever seen. How could they make such a beast like E39 M5 so ugly in the video?

I've always loved that commercial.

Whether it's the best, who really knows. There have been a fair number of really good ones. This one is definitely near the top, IMO.

Admit it... if this had been a Lexus commercial, you'd be spouting the praises of the almighty "L".

As far as commercials go (speaking in terms of marketing, not cars) that's a GREAT one.

And the E39 M5 is almost slow in comparison to the current M5.

I love that commercial, however many times I've seen it.

I don't think it was ever aired in the U.S.

Notice the caption at the end saying "The Fastest Saloon Car in the World".
A U.S. commercial would, of course, say "sedan".

I like this ad. One of the better thought out ads.
