Echo is appearing in BMW USA's "10 Best" TV commercial campaign!

[RITmusic2k]

A few weeks ago, BMW USA put a call out on twitter for 3-series owners to share pictures of their cars for a chance to be featured in an upcoming commercial. I thought it was a cool gesture on their part to involve owners in the promotion, and it seemed to be a unique chance to spread the ZHP love...

Some of you will recall that a year or two ago there was a meetup in San Diego where Casey Withers shot a bunch of our cars for the ZHPMafia.com banner; I had a handful mazagine shots taken while we were down there, and submitted one of them to BMW for the promotion.

Well, they just contacted me this morning and told me that my car had been selected!


After getting Casey's blessing, I replied back to BMW and things are moving forward. This is the shot that's going to appear in the commercial:

Just sharing my excitement; I'll be sure to keep the forum updated if I get any info about when and where the commercial is airing :)

Side note: Casey mentioned today on facebook that another C Withers Media photo from the Chicago branch has also been selected for this campaign. Great shootin', guys!

That is wicked. Can't wait to see it.

[alexandre]

Sweet! Sick photo as well... :drool

[Hornung418]

Good stuff!

[Johnmadd]

Awesome! Cant wait to see the commercial.

[az3579]

That looks like a friggin' stock photo that BMW would put in their brochures, with a ZHP that looks factory fresh. Of course it got selected! Congrats!

[Johal E32]

Awesome!

[midlandtech]

Congrats that's one hell of a good photo and its awesome to get the ZHP's out there

Oh sooooooo coooool!!!

[C Withers Media]

Looks great, if you need me to chop out that old watermark and insert the new one, my email is cwithersmedia@gmail.com.

Glad to be a part of a great community and the enthusiasm of the owners is as important to me as the cars themselves. If I can contribute to the excitement then I am all for it.

[3ZHP]

I like it!

Good deal Casey - I'll send you the hi-res version I have saved locally. Thanks again for taking a great picture and for letting me share it!

LMAO. Sometimes exposure can pay.

Free advertising is how I see it!

[UdubBadger]

well its not like my watermark is there so its free advertising for BMW and Chicago Chamber of Commerce, not me. :p

[johnrando]

Congrats you two!! Way to rep.

Right on congrats!!!!!! Great work guys!

[BRGcoopahS]

That's dope. So two members here made it. Congrats.

[C Withers Media]

I will refute the free advertising some other time in another thread, but its not great exposure and its not free advertising for us. It is merely a gesture on our part to be supportive of the community.

[BimmerWill]

Awesome guys beautiful pics, your cars represent the legacy so well!

Got a message from BMW asking for my email for a photo release form. Guess that means I'm in? :dunno

I sent my email to the marketing agency but haven't seen the release form come in... anybody else get word back from them yet?

[danewilson77]

I got it finally. Your cars name is Echo. This thread is not about echo46's car.

I'm on point now.

[UdubBadger]

BTW just so EVERYONE knows, just because they contact you doesn't mean they're 100% going to use the photo so we will have to see if any of us are lucky enough to make the final cut.

Oh, and here I was just thinking you were 'giving me the business 'all this time. Glad we're all squared away!

Naa....you don't want the business :shifty

hehe

[echo46]

Damn, I thought my Orient Blau beast was going to famous. You all know it is one badass whip and deserves these accolades. Although my baby is generally employed carrying my bulbous ass around, I could find some time to make my slippery fast ZHP available for a shoot. :)

Yeah....I thought they were referring to your car for about a week :)

[echo46]

I guess you have the affinity to spot greatness.

[madman23]

Congrats!! Thats awsome!!

[Imola.ZHP]

Congrats! I submitted a few, but wasn't so lucky. Glad that there will be a ZHP representing though, they usually use some ugly pre-face lift bone stock 323i, YAWN...

[RITmusic2k]

Well, it looks like my car has definitely made the cut; the marketing company has contacted me and provided me with the necessary release forms to get things to move forward here. Once I'm done collecting signatures, everything will be dunky horey!

[johnrando]

That is SO cool and I'm SO jelly!

[Stu]

Awesoooome!!!! I wanted to submit mine, but I've got too many rock chips in the front :(

[johnrando]

I just never got around to submitting mine.

Everything has been submitted and they confirmed receipt... Seth, have you heard anything from them about when they expect the commercial to be finished and/or whether we're going to hear anything else about it from them?

[UdubBadger]

well they asked me for a higher res pic of mine today so sounds like they are deciding what exactly is being used and not as we speak.

[mLuMaN83]

Sweet! cant wait.
