Wow, Bimmerfest as religion?
I was watching "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" tonight, and that show is sponsored by BMW. They showed an ad for the 3 Series that included a short clip that I'm pretty darn sure was from Bimmerfest! I nearly fell out of my chair.
Here is my transcription/description of the ad:
We didn't set out to be a getaway car
(clip of BMW being driven as getaway car)
or an art car
(shots of BMW art cars)
We didn't intend to be a part of any sub-culture
(clip of car doing donuts in a "sideshow")
Or pop culture
(bmw in some movie I don't recognize)
We didn't set out to play games,
(clip from video game with BMWs)
Or to start a religion
(two clips from Bimmerfest: In the first, you see the open hoods of the E21 Legion, with the yellow roof of Earl Warren visible in the background. In the second, a shot of the parking lot full of cars at Bimmerfest)
We just made the car,
the BMW 3 Series
Another expression of independence,
from a company built on it.
