15. Advertising Wars Between BMW and Mercedes Ads.

Even a Mercedes can bring driving pleasure.

In 2016 Mercedes congratulated BMW’s 100th anniversary in newspaper Mercedes ads, but the rivalry between Stuttgart and Munich car companies was not neglected – thanks to taunts.

Thank you for 100 years of competition. The previous 30 years were a bit boring.

Mercedes is proud of its pioneering role and happy to refer to BMW as a latecomer (BMW was founded in 1916).

BMW decided to make Halloween fun of rival Mercede-Benz, but they did not know their joke would backfire and burn!

The tweet reads: Now any car can dress up as its favorite superhero. @MercedesBenzUSA #HappyHalloween

Mercedes-Benz repeatedly hit back with a witty comeback: Nice one @BMWUSA. This is a really scary costume. Especially the grille.

The joke referred to giant kidney grille layouts BMW used for its new models.

BMW, Always Ahead.

Mercedes-Benz takes you everywhere and anywhere.

BMW posted a video on its official social media accounts thanking retired Mercedes CEO Dieter Zetsche for his inspiration and politely stating that BMW is better than Mercedes-Benz.

In the clip, a driver takes Dieter Zetsche home in an S-Class. As soon as he gets home, Zetsche goes into the garage and drives off again at the wheel of a BMW i8 Roaster.

Mercedes Benz replied to BMW on his social media from different business accounts.

It is an official ad poster designed for BMW by Italian Web Agency Bcube:

Feel Safe. BMW premium selection. The Best used cars selected by BMW, with full coverage included.

It is an unofficial prison themed ad poster designed by a Mercedes-Benz fan Mohsen:

Get Free. Join the real world.

Fans of German auto brands do not hesitate to create unofficial ad posters: Speed up to see us.

Mercedes ads strikes back: Behind every authentic brand, there is a more authentic one.
