I felt a little inspired by that... and started thinking a little (I know, it's something I don't do much these days) ..but yeh, here's my idea:

After remembering that the Spirit of Ecstacy 'badge' on the RR Phantom can detract into the grille, and also the fact that the BMW badges on the 6er and f/l 7er can flip open to open the boot..i kinda mixed both ideas.

How about if the BMW badge on the hood of the car mechanically flips or rotates so that the badge is facing to the engine, and then a small water-jet situated inside the insulation of the hood just sprays water on the badge.
Once that's done, the badge just flips back upwards.

What do you guys think ?? ..and oh.. that's copyright too..!!

Re: BMW introduces Badgewash System
Y'know, if the actual idea was sound in the first place and not a joke, then that'd be the best way to do it, IMO. There's complexity in it, but not more than getting a separate washer jet. So I'd pay this one

Re: BMW introduces Badgewash System
Yeah, but when they want to satirise someone by making a 'real' ad for a silly product, then making factual errors doesn't make the satire very believable..
