You see what they`ve done there... :)

For some reason I find myself a little frightened of them - must be the way they move like giant spiders.

I fail to see how that relates to BMW or the automotive industry in general. I think the work is brilliant, I can see the possibilities but think it`s just another tenuous engineering/quality link by BMW and car commercials in general...

Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn...

And those who dance will spin and turn,
And those who wait will wait no more,
And those who talk will hear the words,
And those who see will fade and die,
And those who laugh will surely fall,
And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall...

I`d be amazed if they were made out of light wooden branches or sticks or something - after all, how much energy was wasted making those plastic/expensive lightweight materials in the first place?

It doesn`t have to directly relate at all.
As with Honda`s use of their Asimo robot in their `car` adverts,which don`t even feature a car,the association with ingenuity/technology is enough to filter down to car sales.
If it didn`t work,they wouldn`t do it.

Not going to disagree with your last sentence because I know it`s right. My problem is that what we`re talking about here is innovation powered by alternate power sources rather than the traditional. Wind power. If car industries could really start looking to harness alternate solutions rather than sticking to the oil-based fuels, then I might agree with the association...

No offence,but you obviously don`t keep up with the car world.
Believe me,all car manufacturers are looking into alternative fuels,BIG time.
Many of them are having to pool resources to do so,such is the money being spent in their efforts to avoid extinction.

In BMW`s case,they already have a running Hydrogen powered 7 series that the press have been testing with favourable results.
It`s still `dual fuel` because of the current lack of hydrogen infratructure,but it`s running.

Who says it is a car ad? It is a brand awarenesses ad. Like the BASF, the chemical people ad.
