Absolutely brilliant BMW X5 ad!

ghostrider4385 · 3rd May 2006, 13:33

Hey guys,

I came across this BMW X5 advertisment in an old edition of the Archives mag. Was thinking about it today for some reason, so did a search on the net, and was dumbstruck all over again on seeing it! So thought i'd share it with you guys.
I don't know how old it is, but its execution is bloody brilliant. IMO subtle yet awe-inspiring. Like a hint of what lies beneath the X5's hood!

Hope you guys like it.

Ahhh nice one there mate... And above all nice execution.

Just a question though : do u know the website of those Archive mags. I used to love reading those mags during my free time at agency.

the logic of the "still" evades simplicity by a whisker; it defies the fine line between sophistication and awe...

supposed to convey horses under the hood?? if that's the intention then it's simple , direct and creative...drives home the point or message which good advertising must.

Great ad, thanks for the refresh. Remember seeing this in Autocar and Top Gear issues here in London around 01-02.
