BMW Switch: A prank most BMW drivers would love [video]

BMW Singapore switches the 1-Series Coupe of an unsuspecting customer with a performance-enhanced model

BMW Singapore has thought-up a nice prank to play on an unsuspecting customer.

In this video here, in collusion with a friend of the 'victim' (who wouldn't want to be this victim), BMW switches a customer's standard 1-Series Coupe for one with a performance package.

The BMW staff diligently replace the license plates, windshield stickers and whatever else was in the car to really fool the driver. But they park the new car elsewhere to get an extra kick out of pranking the young lady.

Hey, does she get to keep the car now?

Well, I didn't find it very funny. A couple of yours ago they did an mercedes switch in Holland; a way better prank: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTzf3ofuKPg

So spitting gum in Singapore isn't okay, but saying "shit" on TV is?

I'll take the skinny one myself :) Does a 135M-Sport really cost SGD $211,000 in Singapore (maybe 162,000 USD)?

It cost more then that now with our insane taxes. For the price of a 1.5litre Toyota we can buy a v8 muscle car in the US. Utter crap.

That parking lot was packed with luxury brands. Even the woman, which doesn't strike me to be more than a secretary (or equivalent), is driving a 100K $ car (your prices). Surely your country must be doing something right.

You can say 'sh*t' on TV here in India at any time of the day, it's even in Lenovo adverts. Pity they didn't give her the car, that would've been nicer. Plus, nice example of a hot chick and her fat friend...

There is no way this is an actual hidden camera prank, they're all bad actors. Pure promo.

Would've been funnier if they parked it at the same spot...and see her reaction when the she hears the exhaust note from the switched car. But I have to agree it's most likely a staged promotion film.
