Car wars: Twitter enjoys spat between luxury car companies Audi and BMW

Audi and BMW have been at loggerheads since time immemorial and they tend to indulge in Twitter banter. Neither of the luxury car companies can resist taking digs at each other and calling out the other.

Twitter once again witnessed an epic battle between the two with witty comebacks. It all started with a post that BMW shared on it’s official handle. What came across as “friendly” soon became fodder for Twitter users’ to talk about as they couldn’t help but spot and discuss the hidden messages in the picture.

A poster of BMW’s “M4” car portrayed some fireworks sparks as they unveiled the beastly new automobile. However, the management of Audi was quick enough to spot something amiss.

Here is the picture that BMW shared:

Audi quickly noticed its logo portrayed in the firecrackers behind the car. It’s pretty visible right?

The image of the firecrackers at the back of the BMW car had circles that looked like Audi’s logo.

Here is what the Audi logo looks like: 

So Audi replied and openly took a  dig at BMW saying even their creative ads have Audi logos:

Just when Twitter thought Audi had won the war and successfully trolled BMW, BMW’s epic comeback turned tables entirely!

Here’s what BMW’s reply said:

For the laypeople that do not get what BMW meant to say, the Audi logo was visible in the rear view mirror which meant that Audi is way behind BMW. The other interpretation could also mean that the comparison in speed was being made.  As in the sense that BMW was always ahead and Audi followed.

Twitter definitely lauded BMW for its epic comeback. BMW stole the show at this brand war showdown!

Here are the Twitter reactions on BMW’s response:

But we could also look at it as BMW throwing shades at Audi by leaving it “behind” ????.
