We know that because the opening line is: <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Who are we to argue with half a million people?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Except&#8230;That&#8217;s not what the story is about. The story is about&#8230;uh, pre-owned BMWs. Not an interesting story. Not a good story. But despite the expectations raised by the opening line, that&#8217;s what this spot is about: pre-owned BMWs.<\/p>\n<p>The second line indicates what the commercial really is about \u2014 and, I suspect, inadvertently offers a statement that could get BMW in trouble with the Federal Trade Commission:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> &#8220;That&#8217;s half a million satisfied customers who have made BMW the leader in the luxury segment.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is just a hunch, but I suspect &#8220;half a million&#8221; is the number of people who have purchased pre-owned BMWs. That doesn&#8217;t necessarily equate to half a million satisfied customers.<\/p>\n<p>Why do I get the feeling BMW made an unsupportable leap from &#8220;customers&#8221; to &#8220;satisfied customers&#8221;? Because in this spot they make the claim without supporting it. If 500,000 people who purchased pre-owned BMWs reported they were delighted with their vehicles and would recommend pre-owned BMWs to their friends, it would be been smart to say so in this spot.<\/p>\n<p>Just a hunch, based on experience. Perhaps they <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">were<\/span> referring to such a statistic but don&#8217;t understand why they should cite it (i.e., to establish credibility).<\/p>\n<p>But it doesn&#8217;t matter, because that&#8217;s not the horrific part of this commercial. The really awful part is&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;Actually, there is no really awful part. It&#8217;s all so extraordinarily innocuous that it has no impact at all \u2014 not even a negative one.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8230;the leader in the luxury segment.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Okay, that&#8217;s a joke, right? They don&#8217;t really believe there&#8217;s even one consumer who ever has uttered (or even thought) the words, &#8220;the luxury segment,&#8221; do they?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>MRS. STUPID: Gee, Honey, what kind of car should we buy?<\/p>\n<p>MR. STUPID: Doesn&#8217;t matter to me, Sweet Pea, as long as it&#8217;s one of the models in the luxury segment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What is this commercial&#8217;s <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Core Message<\/span> \u2014 the one thing they want the targeted audience to  hear, to understand and to remember? Is it:<\/p>\n<p>* Largest selection to choose from online? (Bonus points for the passive language, guys.)<\/p>\n<p>* Comprehensive protection plan?<\/p>\n<p>* All vehicles meticulously serviced by BMW technicians? (Does BMW have a less expensive program offering vehicles that have been serviced by BMW technicians but not meticulously? &#8220;All vehicles haphazardly serviced,&#8221; perhaps?)<\/p>\n<p>* The vehicles go through \u2014 this is breathtaking \u2014 an inspection process? A <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">rigorous<\/span> (vs. a lax) inspection process?<\/p>\n<p>Just when you think, &#8220;Well, at least they&#8217;ve run out of dumb things to say,&#8221; BMW surpasses expectations:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Not to mention it offers something no other manufacturer can&#8230;&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is Copywriting 101, folks.
