Agree, don't think is is a photoshop.

I remember this first time round and seem to remember a local Pher confirming that it was indeed the case.

I'm almost 100% sure it's real. Seem to remember an article on it.

You can only say that if you can prove it, looks real enough to me.

You have seen photoshop before haven't you?

Those grainy ste images can easily be altered.

Real or not, you can't call it real because of how it looks rofl

I know photoshop and have used it and to create that would be quite difficult.

That being the case it's certainly not a photoshop just because you say "it is".

Particularly when it's clearly not.

I remember reading an article on it at the time - it was genuine. Some years ago now.

EDIT : in fact its all over the internet if you have a look - just plug in BMW v AUDI AD into google.

Fair enough it was real.

But I can't belive it would be hard to produce that on a PC.

Like the merc one too, amazing how they got the colours so right in PS with that one wink

You know BMW are complete s when it comes to some things (issues regarding my favourite car mainly) but they do seem to employ some damm clever ad agencies, don't forget the entertaining April Fool ads either...
