America’s perceptions of diesel is still stuck in the 1960’s - and to play off of this antiquated view, BMW partnered with Mad Men and Vanity Fair to create a 5 page pictorial as part of the automaker’s Advanced Diesel initiative. Shot on the Mad Men set and collaborating with the show’s stylists and art director, BMW placed a 2009 335d Advanced Diesel in the center of 1960’s Madison Avenue to juxtapose diesel’s perception with reality. The pictorial fold-out precedes Vanity Fair’s Mad Men article shot by Annie Leibovitz in this month’s Style Issue.
