One of the article's sources has a link to this Reddit thread (view it on RedLib), which has someone recording the ad. The article also uses official BMW websites as sources.

P.S. that was a very boring ad

Thanks, a reply in that thread:

This just showed up and no way to avoid it?

OP:

No, I got the option whether I wanted to view it when starting the car. And it’s added as an app in case you want to view it later.
