In today’s active lifestyle, outdoor recreation activities with equal parts fitness, variety and enjoyment, play an increasingly important role in society.

Launch film
A father with his son, a group of friends, a team of outdoor enthusiasts – the launch film develops three storylines that show a BMW 2 Series Active Tourer accompanying its drivers on unique experiences. The film comprises three parallel narratives with match cuts between events happening at the same time to highlight the vehicle’s versatility.
A man drives through the mountains on his way to meet friends for a cycle tour: Navigating the winding mountain roads is just as enjoyable for him as riding his racing bike.
A group of friends buys flowers for their urban gardening project: Different scenes show the friends together in the car or planting flowers around the city.
A young dad is heading on a camping trip with his son. The BMW 2 Series Active Tourer is the ideal companion for their drive through the countryside.
The film will run on www.bmw.com, in showrooms and at all national and international launch events.
