I did not feel 2008 at all. there's not enough content in this TVC, the tag line is quite strong.. but the storyline is a bore. but the badge is BMW, not much bad comment about the TVC by the commenter in here, onli the price tag comment is seen and it is quite high even without all the tax and such for a car at this size. doesn’t make me want to be behind the wheel..
