Advertising: Audi and BMW Billboard Wars

via: AutoBlog

Months back Audi placed a billboard on Santa Monica Blvd with their new A4 and the pull out reading "Your move, BMW". BMW then responded by placing a billboard across the street with the new M3 reading simply "Checkmate". Brilliant advertising by both sides, but BMW seizes victory in my mind. However, BMW may have made a huge mistake by using it's heavy artillery too early! Audi has since responded with a shot of the R8 and a tag that doesn't make any sense as far as the ad war goes: "Time to check your luxury badge. It may have expired."

So props to Audi on the vehicle retort, but BMW still wins the linguistics aspect.
