BMW M DRAG RACE: M2, M3, M4, M5, M8, X3M, X5M, XM

Check out new and secondhand vehicle handle Carwow:

We've got our hands on every design of BMW M, and they will go head-to-head over the quarter mile! The concern is, which one will triumph? Let's take a more detailed look at the rivals …

– BMW X5M:
4.4-litre twin-turbo V8, 625hp & 750Nm, AWD, 2,400 kg.

– BMW X3M.
3-litre twin-turbo inline-six, 510hp & 650Nm, AWD, 2,010 kg.

– BMW M2.
3-litre twin-turbo inline-six, 480hp & 650Nm, RWD, 1,730 kg.

– BMW M4 Comp Convertible.
3-litre twin-turbo inline-six, 530hp & 650Nm, AWD, 1,925 kg.

– BMW XM Label.
4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 hybrid, 748hp & 1,000 Nm, AWD, 2,720 kg.

– BMW M3 Compensation Touring.
3-litre twin-turbo inline-six, 530hp & 650Nm, AWD, 1,865 kg.

– BMW M5 Touring.
4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 hybrid, 727hp & 1,000 Nm, AWD, 2,480 kg.

– BMW M8 Competitors.
4.4-litre twin-turbo V8, 625hp & 750nm, AWD, 1,995 kg.

So which do you think will come out on top? The XM Label has the most power, but does it have what it requires to reduce the others? There's just one method to find out for sure … LET'S RACE!

      This was supposed to be a performance test, so what is the dumb reason for putting the M4’s roof down. What a stupid idea.

      @carwow Please do a C63 and E63 generation drag race. I’ve been asking since 2022.

      Matt I know this is a weird ask but if theres any chance in the future I would love to see what an 2013+ RX350 could do against other suvs like this.

    Not a fan of the reversed races, used to be intro, sound check, drags and then rolling and brakes at the end

    1. @ikennaonwunli5072 Avatar
      @ikennaonwunli5072

      They do a lot of tuned cars and drag races break tuned cars, so they changed the line up to rolling races and then drag races so we the viewers can at least see what the tuned cars are capable of before they break during the drags.

      Another reason could be, heat in tires from rolling races and brake tests improves traction for drags

      So essentially, it’s not that they just want to change the line up of the races, there are reasons for the change in line up. If you have noticed, all drifting in rear wheel drive cars to put some heat in them has stopped, and we have gotten some cool tuned car races recently as well without said tuned cars breaking. Some still break but it’s not as frequent.

      Too many wordsπŸ˜…

    X5 weighing less than an M5 is disgustingly insane πŸ˜‚

    1. @nomayor1 Avatar
      @nomayor1

      The M5 has been “electrified”. So that it has lower emissions, and be more attractive to corporate buyers.

    2. @hako9393 Avatar
      @hako9393

      @nomayor1 Its also gives its more power

      Yeaaaahhh shut up.
      The M5 also has more power.

    4. @Fax704 Avatar
      @Fax704

      @hako9393yes but it has a worse power to weight ratio than the previous m5 and even with the instant torque it has a slower 0-60 than the F90

    5. @usf976 Avatar
      @usf976

      @Fax704only on paper, lots of youtubers got launches well below the manufacturer claim closer to 3.1, which is more inline with the F90 comp and definitely faster then the regular F90

    Have the roof up. Lets see the real performance. Yall stiffed the m4 up

    you should have compared the M3 and M4 again when Sam’s roof was back on

    1. @diamondsketekete Avatar
      @diamondsketekete

      I mean why must we even say it? Is this not a comparative test or not?

    2. @diamondsketekete Avatar
      @diamondsketekete

      So what’s the point of placing the M4 at a disadvantage? Its so annoying what you doing. Do it for fun but the do a proper race with the cars roof up. So that we can get a fair assessment.

    3. @Ssttuatara Avatar
      @Ssttuatara

      NO. They should hv just gotten a stock M4comp coupe, similar story with the M8. But i understand that getting these cars isnt particulrly easy

      Yanni adds more humor. Matt comes off as annoyed with Sam for some reason. I think he talks to Sam as Yanni speaks to him. . . If that makes sense.

      @schrodingerscat8621

      @dereklaverne7608 Yanni’s arrogance used to annoy me, an obvious narcissist. Sam is a race car driver, humble yet gets the job done!

      I dont seem to enjoy the videos with Sam, he obviously a talented chap, but i think Yanni and Rory are more entertaining.
