BMW vs MB.. Press Team

Looking at the photos and material we have of the SL65 BS it struck me that MBīs Press team rocks.. Everytime a new car comes along..they provide us with beautiful pictures and videos..
They really go out of their way to do this..
After some time they often release a in depth package with even more eye Candy..
As car enthusiast most of us can only look at this and dream..
So its really important for us.. as it is the fuel to our Fire..
With BMW im experiencing something really diffrent..
They always give us boring first pictures and to little info..

Ile post some of the recent cars from each brand and their press shots..
And you decide..
And please cast a vote after deciding..

Wich Press Team Do you Like the Best?
BMW or Mercedes?

PS
I have to add that even when you go to carshows i feel that MB always goes the extra mile to give the ticket holders an experience..
And BMW always dissappoints with their kind of boring and money saving Displays..












Displays



Please Only Judge The Material Not The Product

For me it is Mercedes-Benz for the reasons you stated.

Re: BMW vs MB.. Press Team

It's all about budget ... More money, better outcome. Since both uses skilled professionals for th promo material making.

MB has much bigger budget for model promotion than BMW.

Also BMW invests more in motion picture press material & events later. Hence less money for other material & eg. auto show displays.

Eg. BMW press pics as seen above are usually shots from promo video filming, not from some extra photo shooting.

Re: BMW vs MB.. Press Team

^how come?
They make more or less the same money right?
I know that BMW sells more cars..

PS
What exactly are those events and motion picture material?
Seems to me that they have a tight budget all across
from Press shots to Shows..

Re: BMW vs MB.. Press Team

I read somewhere that BMW spends ten times what MB spends on advertising ...is this correct?

Re: BMW vs MB.. Press Team

^lol not really?
No one here really knows what that dude is up to?
And i dont think that him alone is responsible for the whole thing..
Maybe he is the head of it all or maybe he only goes along to hold the tripods to the cameras?

Lord knows..

Re: BMW vs MB.. Press Team

In the pictures posted here I would say Mercedes but BMW generally does a better job than Mercedes in the advertisments shown in magazines an the like.
