Viral video featuring the 1 Series

DC135i · 06-25-2008, 08:55 AM

Here's a link to a CNN.com video report on a viral video that features the new 1-Series:

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/tec...cho.bmw.ad.cnn

The report highlights the recent revelation that it was actually BMW that was behind the 30-minute "documentary" that has had over 10 million hits!

Interesting note from CNN: 2/3 of 1's are already in pre-sold status.

Here's the link to the mocumentary: http://www.rampenfest.com/

Apparently there are facebook pages for some of the characters, and for the fictional maker of this "documentary," for those who really want to get into it!

Clever, BMW....CLEVER!

Them? I, as a 135i owner/lover, TOTALLY missed this one!! ughhh. But I don't think I'm the only one.

yeah, this has been out for a while

it usually takes popular media a while to catch up to the speed of the internet though

I know!! yikes. I wonder if there's an area on this site that consolidates all 1-series related videos? That would be helpful!!!

It's not viral marketing. They did build the ramp to transport 1 series from Deutschland to America. Mine was the first car to be delivered after they fixed the loose wing problem.
