- It's the last day as CEO of Mercedes Benz and the long deserved retirement of Dieter Zetsche lies ahead. To the applause of numerous employees, he takes off his company ID, says his goodbyes and leaves the company for the very last time. This could all be a very sad day, wouldn't it be for the one thing waiting at home.
The future of e-mobility is taking shape. The BMW i8 Roadster reveals itself futuristic in every detail and gives you the freedom to go anywhere.
To make sure your retirement won’t feel tedious, here’s a bucket list for retired car people: b.mw/com_bucketlist

BMW i8 Roadster: Energy consumption in kWh/100 km (combined): 14.5. Fuel consumption in l/100 km (combined): 2.0. CO2 emissions in g/km (combined): 46. The values of fuel consumptions, CO2 emissions and energy consumptions shown were determined according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version applicable at the time of type approval. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany and the range shown considers optional equipment and the different size of wheels and tires available on the selected model. The values of the vehicles are already based on the new WLTP regulation and are translated back into NEDC-equivalent values in order to ensure the comparison between the vehicles. [With respect to these vehicles, for vehicle related taxes or other duties based (at least inter alia) on CO2-emissions the CO2 values may differ to the values stated here.] The CO2 efficiency specifications are determined according to Directive 1999/94/EC and the European Regulation in its current version applicable. The values shown are based on the fuel consumption, CO2 values and energy consumptions according to the NEDC cycle for the classification. For further information about the official fuel consumption and the specific CO2 emission of new passenger cars can be taken out of the „handbook of fuel consumption, the CO2 emission and power consumption of new passenger cars“, which is available at all selling points and at www.dat.de/angebote/verlagspr... - Авто та транспорт

This is a video proving of a german's respect and love to another german. Its a video showing that one thing that one does good does not get another jealous but inspired because that good thing done by one may get better with another one and this is always true. Its an old saying.."Not knowing is not a shame but not learning is!"
I don’t know how I missed this, it’s so simple yet it made me so happy.
Love Germany and all it's icons!!! This is --- A true example of healthy competition!!!

This gets recommended to me once a year and it’s always a joy to watch. One of the best ads ever made. Goosebumps every time.
German commercials of automakers are the best. I love how each of them possesses clever yet remarkable scenarios.
Well played BMW. Well played!
This is how competition should be. Great job BMW.
This is not how competition should be, these companies work together and that is illegal in most countries, but Germany depends on them so they don't bother

Volkswagen Group, BMW Group, Daimler AG. These are literally Gods of Automobiles. #Respect
Sushanth Ramesh 100%, at this point in time these names mean so much, when you drive any of these cars, you are driving a piece of automotive history. A BMW or Mercedes from the 1980s is on another planet compared to a Toyota or Honda or Ford from that same time period. Think of the first generation 8 series for example, a 90s car, but to this day not many manufacturers have really topped it, not even BMW themselves. Just imagine riding in an 8 series or S Class in the 80s, must’ve been an unbelievable experience at the time. People forget, these German manufacturers truly set a standard for automobiles. Even the Japanese took notes from them.
@@mycomputergl0wsblu well said mate. I'm an Indian and it was always a dream of mine to own one, but i'm glad that i work for one of these iconic brands. Germans are pioneers in Automobiles. Respect from India.

@@felixkonle5555 niemand interessiert diese "Möchtegern"-"Luxusmarke.. Audi ist ein aufgehübschter VW.. Nicht mehr und nicht weniger..
Mercedes-Benz und BMW sind Jahrzehnte in Entwicklung und vor allem Sicherheit voraus
@@myzeal4889 Ja, wenn man sich das so einredet, dann kann man das ruhig glauben.
Aber versuch das ganze mal aus ner faktischen Perspektive zu sehen.
Wer entwickelt denn letztendlich die ganzen Autos, egal ob BMW, Mercedes oder Audi?: Mitabeiter.
Und BMW sowie Mercedes hat genauso qualifizierte Arbeiter, die die Autos letztendlich entwickeln, wie Audi auch, also kann es doch faktisch gesehen keinen großen Unterschied geben.
Das ist genauso wie die Leute, die meinen, VW könnte keine Sportwagen bauen, nur weil sie's sonst nicht tuen. VW müsste einfach nur die richtigen Leute ans Werk lassen und schon können die auch Sportwagen bauen.
Das hat also fast gar nichts mit dem zu tun, was die Marke ausmacht.
Also im Endeffekt merkt man vielleicht, dass es echt keinen so riesigen Unterschied geben kann.
Kleine vielleicht, da manche Mitarbeiter innovativer sind als andere, aber das war's dann auch schon wieder.
Oder kannst du mir erklären, warum die Mitarbeiter bei Mercedes oder BMW achtzig mal besser sein sollten, als jene, bei anderen Milliarden Unternehmen?
piece of art
Mutual respect and admiration.
And the Marketing Agency which created this amazing ad. deserves every Euro you paid for. Brilliant!
Do they though? First of all this is general marketing. It says nothing about you the viewer and they cant even measure what good came from this shor ad. They have no metrics for that. Second it, differently from direct response advertising, it as no call to action. It doesnt invite you to try or see the car. So this is money burned for nothing. If they could have KPI for this, they would fire the marketing guy within 24 hours. Google David Olgivy and you will see what real marketing is!
ه
@@EugenePrendi Ever heard of branding? Not all marketing efforts and ads are targeted for direct conversions or measuring responses. Top companies invest a sizeable chunk out of their marketing spends just for brand building. Because it’s complementary to direct marketing efforts. Even the most targeted and measurable ads will often fail if the brand doesn’t ring a bell with the users.
Wooo wooowww !!!! The last scene where he drives BMW after retirement...! Amazing!!!!
