other BMW April Fools Ads

[02Les]

Here's a pretty complete list of the BMW April Fools Ads that have appeared in the UK papers (& Canada apparently) over the years.

The RHD to LHD steering wheel is classic. I remember this coming out in the Daily Telegraph. BMW took out a full page ad; the Daily Telegraph, in those days, was a 3ft x 2ft newspaper! Apparently, BMW were flooded with calls to order the kit.

Those are fantastic, Les!  Thanks for sharing...  Laser beam, road heaters to melt the ice....nice!

 

And the Roundel windshield wiper...wasn't that available on the Lux?

 

Good stuff.
