Motorsport

The BMW M4 DTM was used for the first time during the 2014 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters season.[39][40]

Production

Production of 2014 model year 4 Series Coupé (excluding M4) took place in Munich, Germany, between July 2013 and June 2014. Production of 2014 model year 4 Series Convertible took place in Regensburg, Germany, between November 2013 and July 2014.[41]

Marketing

As part of the BMW 4 Series Coupé launch, a TV spot was produced by Hollywood director Samuel Bayer. A print campaign featuring Uwe Düttmann’s photographs resembling high-speed-driving shots, but a closer look reveals that the motion blur of the surroundings is simulated by ropes, was produced. The campaign was presented online and through social media channels in Germany, where online banner ads and animations will develop the idea of the print campaign and TV spot, and also work with the effect of a dynamic moving car. A central landing page on www.bmw.de features information on the vehicles shown, as well as background on the TV commercial and a prize game. Visitors to BMW Germany’s Facebook page can also win a new BMW Z4 for a three-month period. In parallel, the campaign will also be presented in more detail through the brand’s YouTube channel and BMW’s own www.bmw-tv.de channel with a special on the subject of design.[42]
