Audi And BMW Engage In A Small Twitter Fight — Ad Wars Are Back!

BMW tweeted a picture of their sportscar – the F82 M4, last week. The light painting showcased some sparkles or pyro works at the background and is a good photograph. The tweet got a decent amount of engagement and that is when BMW's main rival responded.

Audi retweeted BMW's post with an interesting headline — "When you see it..."; indicating the ring formations behind the car which resembled Audi's four-ring logo. The four rings in Audi represent the pre-war Auto Union of four manufacturers: Audi Automobilwerke, Horch, DKW and Wanderer.

BMW on the same day replied to Audi's post saying, "We see it, where we usually do... in the rear-view mirror" - a good comeback, to be honest. After seeing this, a train of comments, memes, shares and tags by BMW and Audi fans followed the conversation.

This is not the first Audi and BMW have mocked each other publicly. In fact, many major manufacturers have done similar things to instantly gain market attention.

Once when Audi put up a billboard of thethen new A4 sedan in Santa Monica, California, USA, it had a one-liner — "Your move, BMW". BMW soon installed a larger hoarding board beside Audi's.

"Checkmate.", said the hoarding.

Audi then installed an even larger billboard showing their R8 supercar, along with the tagline, "Your pawn is no match for our king". BMW, on the other hand, used a small Zeppelin-like airship which showcased their Formula 1 car. It said, "Game over".

Here's another one!
