"This BMW campaign has been a great way to seaway the debut of the all-new ActiveE vehicle," said Darren Richie, Shelly BMW's General Manager. "It has allowed drivers and passengers to look deeper into the future of mobility, a concept BMW is continually studying with every vehicle made," he said.

To allow viewers to better engage with the campaign films and to add to the ongoing dialogue, BMW designed an innovative new video player specifically for the films. Viewers can access additional content around a theme, quote, or speaker in real time, while giving them the option to pause the main viewer. Additionally, they can also post their own thoughts or comments directly to specific moments of the film for others to see and react.

The BMW ActiveE will be an electric vehicle based on a BMW 1 Series Coupe that will use electric motor and battery cell technology developed in-house. It will represent the second phase of a three-phase electric vehicle development plan that will lead to a dedicated electric vehicle that will launch in 2013.
