Last Friday, BMW teased us with a short video of a car promised to be unveiled on Monday and the video turned out to be a silly attempt at viral content.

Sometimes you get one shot to really stand out with something and when you promise and underdeliver then you lose that credibility and any chance to do something cool in the future.

And BMW has just done that. The mysterious video teaser is just an advertising of the new BMW i3 that has no meaningful message behind it. We’re simply looking at a BMW i3 that carries a child in the back seat who plays a video game, hence the “cool exhaust sound” everyone has been talking about for the last few days.
