The billboard states: "You ordered cake, we made donuts. M congratulates AMG on its 50th anniversary." and shows an M4 in the process of making said donuts by shredding its tyres and laying rubber on the road.
Last year, Mercedes had put up a video on Instagram as BMW celebrated its centenary with a video congratulating the Bavarians for 100 years of competition. However, Merc ended the video with the message, "The previous 30 years were actually a bit boring."
