Audi and BMW’s Dueling LA Billboards

There’s been a bitter billboard war brewing between BMW and Audi in Los Angeles. The rival automakers put up billboards on opposite sides of Santa Monica Boulevard, and they’ve been taking potshots at each other ever since.

Audi threw the first blow, with a billboard that pictured the A4 with the copy, “Your move, BMW.” BMW’s response came in the form of a billboard with an M3 on it and the copy, “Checkmate.”

Audi’s team solicited some hilarious crowdsourced responses via its Facebook page before it replaced the A4 billboard with one that features the R8 and the wordy response, “Time to check your luxury badge. It may have expired.” Although this final billboard isn’t exactly scathing, BMW has taken down their rival billboard and hasn’t replaced it—yet.
