BMW 'Jump for Joy' Commercial Takes a Shot at Audi [Video]

A new, extended version of the BMW "Jump for Joy" spot surfaced on YouTube.  The new version does its best to lightly mock Audi, by calling BMW drivers and passengers a little more hip, and athletic.

As the company says, don't try this at home.  But we are tempted to try jumping our bikes into the back a 5-series GT.

Watch the two-minute long video and let us know what you think below.

I guess this is what they call the first shot of war. I'll be eager to see what Audi's response to this will be; and whether Mercedes will be brought in on the act aswell.

i don't think i've ever seen MB respond to this type of thing. it's kind of like Jay-Z not responding to the Game or like when your 4 year old nephew tells you he's going to beat you up. they're the king, and they know it, responding only tarnishes the throne . . .

LOL, only the ones that are great have haters! BMW make excellent cars! Audi also, but it needs to eat a little more to get to BMW!

Funny, wouldn't try that by myself though. Feels kind of response to Audi's Meet the Beckers videos. Interesting to see if there's more to come from either BMW or Audi.

A bit childish. For me the inclusion of an Audi ruins it.

as someone pointed on the YT comments - they haven't used new Audi A4 cause it looks too brilliant, and they put the old one, lol.

Ok as a commercial. I wouldnt really call them portraying hip, young, athletic though. More like circus clowns practicing. There is no hit on Audi either, only the advertising like SkinnerY2K said. Purely nothing about driving and nothing about reality. Next.

This is a bit dumb. Why go through all that effort to get into a car?...just pull on the handle...that works...

because BMW over complicates every function of their vehicles, so much so that the door handle is no longer even an option.

yea bmw is kinda off course. audi has better stuff right now but i think benz does trump them both. not quite as sporty but leagues ahead in style and comfort while at the same time giving a fun enough drive. unless on a race circut i'll have a benz, then an audi then a bmw.
