I've been looking for this info myself and I will share my findings. I cannot vouch for accuracy and I may be guilty of helping the spread of internet bullsh!t but anyways:

I have found:

“According to the official statement from the BMW Marketing Department, is that the song is untitled and was written by the Marketing Department specifically for the advertisement. Unfortunately, there seems to be no plans to release it as a single.”

"This work of art is created using a BMW car as a paintbrush by artist Robin Rhode." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Rhode

"The music track was supposedly composed by Nico Muhly - http://www.myspace.com/muhly"

I have actually emailed his publishers for verification! I'll keep you posted if I hear back from them.

We were talking about this at work yesterday and I've looked but can't find anything about the singer.

Here's a link to some background on how they made the ad. if you're interested.

There are 2 versions of this. I don't think they are both Nico Muhly.

This sounds like him:
