BMW rarely advertises during the SB anyway.

Even if they did what would they show? The new 5er is their only significantly new vehicle right now.

Wait are you implying Budweiser is good?

SCOTT26 · 01-15-2017, 06:13 PM

Don't need them.

M3 Adjuster · 01-15-2017, 06:16 PM

Watching NFC championship game now. Just heard that it is 5 Million bucks for a 30 second ad..

The first event was $42,000

Yes Budweiser does because their "product" is all marketing, no substance.

BMW is expecting to and gearing for selling less cars this year but it's starting to look very much like a self-fulfilling prophecy to me

SDPLV · 01-15-2017, 07:29 PM

They should show the new M5 during an ad.

Ya their kinda turning into the company that if that don't have to do it ,they won't. I miss the nice interiors from 10 years ago, to make it lighter and stronger they sacrafice feel and appearance.

My 08 e60 M5, was plush inside and out including the trunk space and glove boxes. The interior on the inside of the roof was even unbelievable along with the door panels, now they charge more and they look and feel shitty, just saying.

Actually Budweiser does need to advertise--that is why it is so big. Marketing.... like Corona is what makes these crap beers so popular. Otherwise they would be Olympia.

BMW is no longer appealing. There current lineup of cars, are boring. Save your money BMW, and invest in bringing back the " Ultimate Driving Machine."

No but it did have turtle skinned door panels with spin me quick lug nuts along with a seals chrome plated ambulance scanner, sure do miss the ole e60.

Normal business practice.

Alfonso550 · 01-16-2017, 01:49 AM

BMW should have unveiled the new M5 during the SB ad, they rarely advertise.

Fanboi-ism at its finest, gents.

BMW is falling behind Mercedes. Audi is nipping at its heels. The American market is stronger than ever with quality cars. But sure, BMW doesn't even need to advertise anymore.

doccyber · 01-16-2017, 06:32 AM

Because Super Bowl viewership is declining

b1mmr · 01-16-2017, 08:59 AM

Apparently this year it's 5 mill for 30 seconds

2kaccordocoupe · 01-16-2017, 09:18 AM

they spent too much on the sponsorship for the rio olympics, as a result no owners lounges at autoshows and superbowl ads.
