BMW xDrive
Combining intelligent torque allocation with an empowering tone, we espoused
the benefits of BMW’s xDrive variable four-wheel drive for the winter season.
Agency: FCB Inferno.
Campaign Strategy
Overview + challenge.
BMW extended its collaboration with agency FCB Inferno to launch a new global campaign for the X5, focusing on its advanced all-wheel xDrive technology. Building on the success of the previous ‘Magnets’ campaign, which significantly boosted awareness and traffic to the brands website, this initiative unfolded across multiple channels including TVC, digital, retailer, CRM, and social media, in key global markets.
We needed to convey the complex benefits of xDrive succinctly to a wide audience: a technology that intelligently fires surplus torque, by reallocating it between the front and rear axles. The mechanism essentially ensures optimal power distribution, which enhances traction and stability under various driving conditions. Unlike other all-wheel-drive systems, the xDrive is fully variable, capable of redirecting all power from one axle to another. This offers the driver a seamless blend of agility, efficiency, and performance.
What we did.
We introduced the X5 as a symbol of empowerment, highlighting the driver’s mastery over varied terrains and signifying control. The campaign showcased the connection between driver and machine, embodied navigational supremacy, and displayed BMW’s best-in-class engineering expertise. One that guarantees stability and confidence in every manoeuvre. It illustrates that the technology goes beyond feature; it’s the foundation of a transformed driving experience. The campaign highlighted BMW’s leadership in all-wheel drive technology, enhancing its brand prestige worldwide.
