http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3302779/BMW-advert-featuring-speedy-3-Series-car-banned-encouraging-irresponsible-dangerous-driving.html

anyone know why? everybody knows that BMW drivers don't need anyone to teach them how to drive, irresponsibly or otherwise. now, if it had shown the driver indicating - misrepresentation, that.

possibly because it explicitly proposed driving as a "dare"? I don't think anyone needds daredevils on the road.

Didn't see anything remotely dangerous in the Advert, and speed in itself is not dangerous as long as the Driver is not distracted by having to use Mirrors or Indicators.

Well, mushroom25, at least I understood your joke

I can't see any particular difference between this advert and any of the previous BMW ones. Or, for that matter, most other car adverts, especially the ones for high performance cars.

Of course it shows the car being driven fast, in twisty narrow roads !
What did we expect BMW to do....show how this new three series is perfect for pootling along at 30 mph, on the way Tesco ?

// on the way Tesco ? //

nah, everyone knows that tesco's car park is incredibly steep, very wet, badly rutted and only negotiable by a huge 4x4.

///THREE viewers complained that the television advert for the
BMW 3 Series condoned dangerous driving///

PC gone mad again!

I'd like to see a car advert in a built up zone with a lot of red lights and no green ones!

It's just a car ad, like many others - nothing wrong with it at all.

My favourites are usually those for smaller cars, especially the Smart Car one where the guy is shocked there's someone in the back seat - has me giggling every time.

Can't see how it shows irresponsible driving an more than adverts showing a bunch of people singing and waving their arms whilst driving on city streets.

Thanks Mamy...made me jump !

Just tickles me - sorry Mushroom for interrupting a News thread.

The car irrespective of it been a BMW or any other car on the road, any car even a Smart car can be dangerous in the wrong hands.
