BMW Happy Halloween: "This Halloween any car can dress up as its favorite superhero"

mkoesel · 10-31-2019, 12:23 PM

This little jab could backfire quickly.

Before I read the caption, my first thought was that you were showing us a social media troll post, and the image was suggesting that BMW could not outdo their rival so they decided to start purchasing Mercedes vehicles and putting their own sheetmetal over the top of them.

pz619 · 10-31-2019, 12:27 PM

Exactly, when I first saw it I initially thought car was just a FWD Merc masquerading as a BMW...

Or perhaps you need to buy one of these if you get the upcoming M3/M4 cars.

sdshah · 10-31-2019, 12:50 PM

That was stupid as f

bimmer456 · 10-31-2019, 12:54 PM

It's a reveal of the new M3 having dual slat grill

SoCalS2k · 10-31-2019, 12:55 PM

I thought the same! It can across like a positive advertisement for benz hah

535i MSport · 10-31-2019, 12:59 PM

Yawn. And this is news?

khailuan · 10-31-2019, 01:00 PM

I don't like that idea either... Merc could easily fire back by stating this:

BMW needs no disguise to be perceived as a horrific monster with its latest design language

JustChris · 10-31-2019, 01:01 PM

Shots Fired!

Aaaaaaaaa · 10-31-2019, 01:04 PM

Should be the other way around with a C class covering up the grilles of the new 4er.

Igor_M5 · 10-31-2019, 01:07 PM

This is gold

shimmy23 · 10-31-2019, 01:09 PM

Well I got a kick out of it

GOLFFRR · 10-31-2019, 01:15 PM

fun

The Automotive Enthusiast · 10-31-2019, 01:23 PM

Bit of a tough crowd.....

BimmerVinyl · 10-31-2019, 01:23 PM

I remember the days when BMW had some of the best advertising in the biz; It appears those days are over.

phoenixbmwlife · 10-31-2019, 01:24 PM

Next year with the size of the new grills it will be the reverse.

BMW wearing Merc costume.

johnbenedict · 10-31-2019, 01:31 PM

Amusing for sure!

But both of these cars have one of the worst resale values in the car industry.

But good jabs none the less.

Mrgunfun · 10-31-2019, 01:39 PM

Is there a reason why they would not use E63S vs M5?

Just curious why they would compare "Amg" E43/53 vs full on M5.

Penguino · 10-31-2019, 01:46 PM

All I read from this was MB trolling BMW with all their designs are just imitations of the MB line up.

gio14 · 10-31-2019, 01:46 PM

Pure Gold. 😂😂😂

Aaaaaaaaa · 10-31-2019, 01:48 PM

Where do they sell that M5 car cover. 530e drivers need to know.

stein_325i · 10-31-2019, 01:56 PM

Honestly this is a more fitting ad for the "Spoooky season!"
