With its new brand campaign and “Meet Okto the Octopus” video, BMW provides an unusual insight into the operation of its new Heart of Joy central control unit. The star of the video is an octopus performing a perfectly coordinated underwater choreography – as an analogy for the way the Heart of Joy will intelligently coordinate key driving functions in future BMW vehicles, starting with the Neue Klasse models.
Two BMW model series take first place in their respective vehicle categories in the renowned “Best Cars” readers’ poll of German car magazine “auto motor und sport”.
