Audi (http://www.madwhips.com/audi/) and BMW (http://www.madwhips.com/bmw/) are at it again! This time though, its not the typical Audi A4 (http://www.madwhips.com/a4/) Vs BMW 3 Series (http://www.madwhips.com/3-series/) racing duel but a similar one on billboards between an Audi A4 and the new BMW M3 Coupe (not exactly apples to apples comparison)! You can check out the cool pictures where BMW’s reply has been posted in close proximity to all Audi hoardings. The battle is taking place in the luxury car (http://www.carzi.com/2009/04/14/audi-bmw-billboard-advertising/#) battleground of California.



As if Audi (http://www.carzi.com/2009/04/14/audi-bmw-billboard-advertising/#) set BMW up so easily for their response below http://www.carzi.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif

If there's one thing you can count on the internet, it's that everyone has an opinion and they aren't afraid to deliver their two cents. So when dueling billboards from Audi and BMW turned up on Santa Monica Blvd. (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/13/audi-bmw-ad-war-takes-to-the-streets-of-socal/), the Photoshoppers got to work with what they felt would be appropriate counter responses. Some of those alternatives have turned up in the Fourtitude.com (http://forums.fourtitude.com/zerothread?id=4346330) forums, a site dedicated to all things bearing four rings.

Now, Audi is asking anyone who's interested in chiming in to post their own alternative billboard designs on its Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Audi-USA-News/78006150114?ref=nf#/pages/Audi-USA-News/78006150114). If you become a fan of the page and craft your own response, RSVP to the LA Billboard War event (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Audi-USA-News/78006150114#/event.php?eid=68423502508&ref=mf). Attendees to the event can upload their images for all the Facebook world to see and comment on.

Billboard War Redux: Audi shoots back, BMW turns away

The billboard war taking place between Audi and BMW in Southern California has taken yet another turn today. After Audi called out its cross-country rival by saying "Your Move, BMW" on a billboard overlooking Santa Monica Blvd. advertising the new A4, BMW responded by renting its own billboard across the street that simply showed the M3 and "Checkmate." Audi then had some fun collecting photoshopped billboard responses from fans on its Facebook page before revealing its own retort. The new billboard, which reportedly went up today, shows the R8 supercar next to this proclamation: "Time to check your luxury badge. It may have expired."

Huh?

While the R8 is a great weapon with which to defend yourself against an M3 attack, the battle cry beside it makes no sense to us whatsoever. If this were a Yo Mama competition, BMW would be chest bumping Wilmer Valderrama right now and Audi would be crawling back into its hoopty for the long ride home.

BMW did actually have a response for Audi. At some point the brand removed its M3 advertisement from across the street and didn't replace it. Audi is now battling with an ad for Barney's CO-OP... and losing.
