BMW launch audio books.
After their much-admired but not particularly successful BMW Films venture, BMW and their new agency have released a set of audio books in collaboration with Random House. Much better thought out than Fay Weldon’s disastrous ‘sponsored by Bulgari’ novel, these audio books are meant to be listened to in car and hence enhance the driving experience. Given that so many (premium) cars have inbuilt iPods now, we think that this idea’s got wheels.
