In keeping with my recent car kick I thought I’d post these vintage BMW ads. The first one — created as part of BMW’s affiliation with the 1972 Munich Olympics — is vaguely reminiscent of Otl Aicher’s posters. I’m assuming this was no accident. It’s also a big enough file that you could probably get a pretty good print out of it off a nice inkjet (click image to view full size). I really wish more vintage posters like this were available in higher resolutions. With most of this advertising stuff, the owners of the copyrights have no intention of ever printing them again, it’s a shame they can’t be reproduced and enjoyed by more people.

That first ad was actually for an early ’70′s all electric version of BMW’s famous 2002. Crazy that they were experimenting with that all the way back then. Funny how they just announced their all-electric version of the 1 Series like 2 weeks ago: http://www.worldcarfans.com/109121723594/bmw-activee-concept-revealed-ahead-of-detroit-debut-video

Great post.

These make me want to go out and actually buy one of these cars = successful marketing design. Great share, Scott.
