Is that a real ad?

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the sight of that...

That is not a funny ad. Let not give ppl any more ideas now. Bad part on bmw if they were trying to get some humor into it. Let give this a thought. If you were a bmw fanatics (which many of us are), would you like to see this ad? Probably not. Why? coz, this ad also implies that if you buy a bmw, it will get keyed. Now who idea was it to come up with such marketing? This can work against bmw.

just my 2cents.............

If this is a real ad, I'd be concerned that people will see it and think "well, they expect their car to get keyed... may as well do it."

Just like the Jetta ads in America where they go you can crash your car and come out unscathed. Awesome.

Sure hope not. A couple days ago somebody stole the little squareish cover off one of my windshield wipers. What would they want with that? People can be so stupid.

I have been parking away from all the other cars in parking lots when possible. Now I wonder if that might draw too much attention to my car and be too inviting for nut jobs and vandals.

you guys/gals are something else. Envy? what is that? do you really thing that when someone key your car, it is because of envy? Most of the time, your car get key coz you did something to someone. Your x hates you, you cut someone off, you flip the middle finger, you got in an arguement with a co-worker, you stabbed your co-worker in the back...

Dude, everytime I see a porsche, m3, m6, corvette, ferrari, the last thing on my mind is to key it.

peace...
