Default My xB was used in a commercial today.

The director liked it because it has no logos on it, it sits fairly close to the ground, and the metallic gray doesn't call attention to itself.

It's not like it was the star of the shot or anything. It was at the side, parked in the driveway, as the main action happened next to it. It may or may not end up in the final commercial, depending on how they edit it. But, hey...

I can't say anything about the commercial until it airs, which is next month.

Did you sign a nondisclosure? Did you get paid?

If not you are not breeching anything.

Doesn't call attention to itself? It's an xB!

I'm involved in the creation and production of the commercial. I'm making plenty of money without being paid for use of the car. I did it as a favor to the client.

That's cool! Congrats to ya!

**I know you posted a thread on your Moon Rims, but I don't know how far back it went and I'm too lazy to use the search feature. My fiance and I were interested in what kind of Moon Rims those are. I know a lot of the others didn't really care for it, but we think those are fun and would totally fit our xB (we have same color as you, so we now we can picture what it looks like). Thanks!**

Here's a link to some photos of my xB on the set. I can show these shots because there's nothing in them that gives away confidential information.

I did get my car cleaned in the deal. It was covered with pollen and dust.

Well, I saw the rough cut today and a tiny bit of the rear corner on screen for about half a second. Oh well.
