Exclamation BMW puts giant billboard on top of Audi showroom in Hong Kong



And we thought the turf wars between Audi and BMW only covered the US and Europe. Now, it looks like the rivalry has gone global after BMW re-popped Audi with a resoundingly emphatic billboard.

The billboard can be found in Hong Kong and while there weren’t any witty tag lines on it, it was about as clear a shot as BMW has taken on their rivals. You probably wouldn’t even notice anything wrong with the billboard, that is until you look at the building’s ground floor occupants and only then will you realize that it’s actually an Audi showroom.

Don’t tell us this is just a coincidence because between these two German car brands, there are no such things as coincidences.

I'll bet that Audi buys that spot as soon as it comes available. They won't want to risk another competitive brand showing up in that spot. I think the media company that sells the billboard is very clever.
