I do not remeber which advertisment I saw in the last few days but I
also thought 'wow this must be infrared!'. As BMW is a german company its 
possible that RTL2 will broadcast something about the making of this
spot in their show 'Hotzpots' ...

BTW: Does anyone remember the name of group (I think this was either
     R.E.M. or U2) which made a video clip in IR in the late 80'ies?
