It was banned in the UK by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), because car makers are not allowed to use speed to promote their products. Although I love the concept of this ad, it doesn't work for me because both cars do not appear to be travelling especially fast in the first place. Look at how quickly the jetcar slows to a stop after deploying its parachute. At very high speeds the jetcar would take much longer to come to a halt...
this is just great xD !!!!! there should be the 2nd part showing the interior of thous cars xD But look bmw didn't have to use a parachute and it stop was just a bit longer lol
didn't think this was banned, just part of BMW of Africa/S. Africa's regular advertising campaign. That said, it's a bad-ass commercial... change saloon to sedan & they should have aired it here!
I'm pretty sure this was banned because it was misleading. The ad clearly implied that it was faster than a... Rocket on wheels, which it can't be. It doesn't matter if it's common sense or not, it's still the equivilent off a cereal advert promising you eternal life.
Swap chips in the new one and they will do 205mph they say. But i loved this commercial as that body is my Fav!! im trying to find a good 540i my self to replace my 323i.
Ha! With all that talk about traffic accidents, people killed by fast drivers and so on in Bulgaria, this add COULD be banned... If they ever dare play it here, that is.
to omgitmattutube listen here you mother fucker ill come find you and rip your god damn head off and shit down your neck cavitiy if you say one more thing bad about my country you hear???
sure they can, its called, Chevy Corvette, or Chevy Camaro or GT 40 or Ford GT, need i say more? but i will level with you guys Germans make great things
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
yah... why dont you keep my countries name out your mouth and talk about your own worthless piece of sh** you call a country. you canadians make me laugh all talk but no bite....
hmm i guessing your a dumb american so ill forgive you its not ur fualt the whole world hates you oh wait its is ...... go invade a country oh wait your already did
God you people are so stupid. These types of Commercials are targeted at mature audience, not bunch of high school drop out retards working at McDonalds.
The plot of the commercial is that the BMW M5 was the vehicle that was filming the rocket car as it was moving. Couldn't you tell from the guy who popped out to stop the filming?
I'm pretty sure they mean "fastest PRODUCTION saloon", not fastest saloon, in general. Brabus isn't a manufacturer, they just tune Mercedes Benz's, you will not find a Brabus dealer anywhere. Brabus is to Mercedes-Benz as Saleen is to Ford.
its jus showing you how fast the M5 is, its faster than a rocket car! it wasnt damaged, that was where the camera was. dont u get it, the M5 was videoing the rocket car
wtf..........i dont get it.........is there anyone out there care 2 explain....wats that rocket thing got to do wif the M5, and why is the M5 like partially damaged??
I don't think it is a misrepresentation of speed. I didn't see anything to suggest the BMW was doing 500mph. I would say it probably was going around the 150mph mark. great ad though.
It was banned because it made the car "look faster than it was". I also think the claim of being fastest saloon car is incorrect, as the Lotus Carlton (1990-1992) could do 176mph, and the Alpina B10 Bi-turbo (1989-1994) could top 182mph. The M5 was limited to 155mph, but could do 0-60 quicker than these 2 (4.9 secs). The RS6 was later released with the same top speed but 0-60 in 4.7 secs.
as you see, the spot shows the BMW M5 Type E39. This car came out 1998. But in September 1996, the BRABUS E V12 set the Speed-Record for the fastest saloon-car with some 330,4km/h. BRABUS is not only a tuner - it's a manufacturer. The E V12 is produced in a smalll series-production. You can order it by stock. Prices start at some 290.000 EUR.
The agency should have got the facts right, before shooting that spot.
Yep because a lotof countries have rules as to what speed a car can have. like here in chicago, we're not allowed race-ferrari's. my brother gave me one[he races cars] but im not allowed to have it within chicago.
The best car commercial ever. Actually, the best commercial ever.

Actually the rocket car is the fastest land vehicle, so how could the BMW be faster ? its an oxymoron.
Maybe it ran foul of some advertising rules in some states, where they discourage advertising vehicles by their top speed.
But generally the joke gets old quickly.. it has limited airability.

The M5 was limited to 155mph, but could do 0-60 quicker than these 2 (4.9 secs). The RS6 was later released with the same top speed but 0-60 in 4.7 secs.

It was banned, because BMW lied:

BRABUS is not only a tuner - it's a manufacturer. The E V12 is produced in a smalll series-production. You can order it by stock. Prices start at some 290.000 EUR.
