The ad is likely for the company's EV division - BMW i

BMW has put out a special teaser that stars none other than American superstar action hero, Arnold Schwarzenegger. What's even more interesting is that Schwarzenegger is starring in the video as the god of the sky and thunder, Zeus. Now, BMW has been very cryptic about what this whole escapade is, however, we believe it's the teaser for the company's EV division, BMW i's new TV commercial which will premiere during the Super Bowl weekend, on February 13, 2022. Now the Super Bowl is essentially the annual championship game of the American National Football League. Owning to its tremendous coverage and popularity, the event has been used by major brands for promotion.

In its Instagram post, BMW says "Macchiato with a side of thunder. Just like the way we like our coffee in the morning. Catch Arnold Schwarzenegger as Zeus on February 13." At the same time, in its Twitter post, the company said, "Something electric is brewing. 2.13.2022 #BMWElectric" which could either mean the upcoming commercial is from its electric/hybrid vehicle division, BMW i, or the carmaker might be revealing a new EV in its new Super Bowl Ad.
