Great advertising!

Hi all,
Sometimes I must recognise we can find amazing adverts for many different products and brands. I love classic cars and I'm the proud owner of a BMW 850I so that's why I love the following advert! Need to say I lift my hat with the professionals working for BMW.
Which ones are your great adverts??

Have a nice day!

I've always loved the 8 series. One of BMW's best.

Forum Porsche owners don't seem to agree?

Makes you wonder how many cars they sold with that ad?

OP. The 850 might very well be my first real love of a car.

It epitomized everything I always wanted as a kid.

How bout a pic of yours?

Yes. Will be a pleasure. Tonight I'll search in my computer. I'm a member of the "clube31.es" there's a lot of information and you can find nice pics.

The car is ok but one day I had the sensation the power was lower than normal. The club (all together) bought the original check machine and had some injection problems. Need to change the complete exhaust system. Waiting for the CSI front bumper. Have a small crash in the passenger door between the door and front wheel. Driving with rain water leaks in the front left column and need to stop. The tank has two gasoline pumps and need to change both. The electric passenger seat sometimes fails....
