Cameraman never disappoints

In 2001, BMW proved that a luxury sedan could outrun expectations with the now-legendary “Landspeed” commercial.

The ad features a jet-powered rocket car screaming across the salt flats, only to reveal that the high-speed camera tracking its every move was mounted to a stock BMW E39 M5.

It was a brilliant, tongue-in-cheek masterclass in marketing that cemented the M5’s reputation as the “fastest saloon car on the planet.”

Even decades later, the visual of a four-door family car keeping pace with a supersonic record-breaker remains an iconic moment in automotive history.

Do you think modern car commercials have lost this kind of clever, high-octane personality?

What are your thoughts? 🤔💭
