Print, outdoor and direct media point the consumer to a website via smart phone, where they can see streaming images of the features of the X3 as the driver would see them.

Michael Knox, ECD of Ogilvy Group Melbourne, which created the campaign, said: “We wanted to be clear that this wasn’t just a great looking and a great driving machine – we wanted to ensure that innovation, comfort and craftsmanship were also communicated.”
