Too bad.
Here's background on the campaign:
The “Sculpture” campaign was inspired by an actual kinetic sculpture that lives at the BMW Museum in Munich. Each sphere represents one of the more than 700 BMW designers, and the sculpture reflects the BMW design process. Like the designers, the spheres act independently of each other, and then eventually come together to create the finished product: In this case, the all-new BMW 5 Series.
The fact you've had to post and explain the campaign is not a good sign.
Not joyful and not in the left lane. Seems like there is a disconnect between the art and the copy. Nothing about this makes me want to drive this car. It's not even a sexy angle.
