BMW regional shop Publicis Mid-America is adding another national campaign for the car maker to its list of credentials.

This week, the Dallas-based agency is rolling out three new TV spots for BMW that tout safety.

In one spot, the slow-motion destruction of a test vehicle is accompanied by the sound of a beating heart, which stops and dramatically restarts as the shattered car comes to a standstill. In another, the same crash-test footage includes text touting “dual front air bags,” “head protection system” and, finally, “repeat buyer.”

The three ads, airing on national cable and spot TV, is the evolution of a 1997 print campaign promoting BMW’s Best Pick award from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety.
