Facebook teaser: BMW X1 on the beach!

BMW X1 Teaser
Click for enlarged image

BMW must be really excited about their new found information outlet – social media. They seem to be using it to the max, as the latest on the BMW X1 Facebook Page is another BMW X1 teaser image. This one featuring a white X1 looks more like a product promo photo, it’s fully undisguised but the X1 is a blur. It could be that the photographer had something else in focus that ended up reflected in the lense ;)

    i thought the photographer try to do panning technique, but he stuck to the pinkee gurl, then the outcome, X1 blur coz he used the slow shuter speed..

    Darn, if they design to blur the car, then put a granma on the right of the image, else we will focus more on the pretty.

    The car is blur because it was moving lah.

    in such a bright day…also considering the guy at the back is partial blur more of a DOF effect, it means the photographer had a big aperture. U need real quick shutter speed to get a properly exposed picture…

    how could u get the BMW X1 blurred at such situation? Judging by the shadow, it shud be about noon. Its not possible to get a blurred WHITE X1.

    unless of course its shot at near dark…purposely left with slow shutter so that it wud look like noon to get a properly exposed WHITE X1blurred…any shutter speed above 1/80 is enough to get a still picture at that light…

    maybe da X1 travelling over 100kmh…on a beach?? Photoshopped…lolz

    Interestingly it doesn’t seem to be kicking up much sand either. Probably the X1 was manually blurred haha.

    Yup… the X1 defo manually blurred. U can achieved that with ‘motion blur’ plugin in Photoshop.

    BMW always known for their unconventional ways in advertising.

    Like this one… (very funny & sexeh :D )
