To congratulate him on his retirement, one of the biggest rivals of Mercedes, none other than BMW decided to create what they imagined his last day at work would be like.<\/p>\n<p>The ad is immediately captivating, emotional music transcends you into the moment, where Zetsche is applauded as he leaves the Mercedes HQ and is driven home, naturally in a brand new S-Class. To anyone watching this for the first time, this is a Mercedes advert. Production wise, it is almost identical to some of their previous ads, using similar colour palettes and camera angles.<\/p>\n<p>But the real pay-off is when Zetsche arrives home, waves goodbye to his chauffeur for the very last time, the screen dips to black to reveal a garage door opening where we see a glimpse of a gorgeous Mercedes Ponton tucked away. But what emerges from the gap next to it? Dr Z blasts out in a BMW i8 Roadster!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_7\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column_8 et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_2\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.adfeeder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screenshot-2020-07-10-at-12.22.44.png?w=1080&amp;ssl=1\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.adfeeder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screenshot-2020-07-10-at-12.22.44.png?w=4082&amp;ssl=1 4082w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.adfeeder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screenshot-2020-07-10-at-12.22.44.png?resize=300%2C138&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.adfeeder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screenshot-2020-07-10-at-12.22.44.png?resize=1024%2C472&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.adfeeder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screenshot-2020-07-10-at-12.22.44.png?resize=768%2C354&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.adfeeder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screenshot-2020-07-10-at-12.22.44.png?resize=1536%2C707&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.adfeeder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screenshot-2020-07-10-at-12.22.44.png?resize=2048%2C943&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.adfeeder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screenshot-2020-07-10-at-12.22.44.png?resize=1080%2C497&amp;ssl=1 1080w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.adfeeder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screenshot-2020-07-10-at-12.22.44.png?resize=1280%2C590&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.adfeeder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screenshot-2020-07-10-at-12.22.44.png?resize=980%2C451&amp;ssl=1 980w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.adfeeder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screenshot-2020-07-10-at-12.22.44.png?resize=480%2C221&amp;ssl=1 480w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.adfeeder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screenshot-2020-07-10-at-12.22.44.png?w=2160&amp;ssl=1 2160w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.adfeeder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screenshot-2020-07-10-at-12.22.44.png?w=3240&amp;ssl=1 3240w\" alt=\"\" width=\"899\" height=\"414\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_8\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column_9 et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_4 et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p>As a fan of both brands and cars in general, it\u2019s wonderful to see two of the largest manufacturers in the industry enjoy the moment both tastefully and respectfully, as Zetsche drives off into the distance in the i8, viewers are welcomed to see a statement from BMW, thanking them for years of competition.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a real heart-warmer, face-smirker and goosebump provider this ad!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AdFeeder Brand and Product Manager, Elliot Newton finally picks his favourite car ad from a host of worthy contenders<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4892,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-168","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-advertising"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.adfeeder.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.adfeeder.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.adfeeder.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.adfeeder.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.adfeeder.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=168"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.adfeeder.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.adfeeder.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4892"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.adfeeder.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=168"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.adfeeder.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=168"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.adfeeder.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=168"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
