BMW M2 Generations DRAG RACE

Thanks to everyone who lent us their cars and trucks:

Here we go, Bimmer fans … It's time for every BMW M2 to take on over the quarter-mile! We've got our hands on the original BMW M2, the BMW M2 Competition, the and the to see which is the quarter-mile king! Not just that, we've got our hands on the automobile that motivated them all – the !

So let's see how they stack up. Starting with the 1M Coupe, it's powered by a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six that can produce 340hp and 500Nm of torque. Power is sent out to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual gearbox, and the car weighs in at 1,495 kg.

Next up we have the original BMW M2. It's powered by a 3-litre turbocharged straight-six, and it can put down 370hp and 500Nm. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a dual-clutch automated transmission, and it ideas the scales at 1,520 kg.

Then we have the BMW M2 Competitors. With a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six under the bonnet, it can put down 410hp and 550Nm, and power is sent to the rear wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch automated gearbox. It's the heaviest cars and truck in the very first race, weighing 1,575 kg.

Then we have the vehicles for the second race. Starting with the BMW M2 CS, it's housing a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six under the bonnet, and it can put down 450hp and 550Nm. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 6-speed handbook transmission, and it can be found in lighter than the M2 Compensation, at 1,550 kg.

Then lastly we have the latest BMW M2. It's got a (you guessed it …) 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six under the bonnet, and it's the most effective vehicle here, putting down 460hp and 550Nm. Power is sent to the rear wheels by means of a 7-speed automated transmission, and it's a lot much heavier than the other cars and trucks, weighing in at 1,725 kg.

So will the brand-new M2 beat them all? Or will the extra weight work against it? There's only one way to learn for sure … LET'S RACE!

    The F87 M2 is easily one of the best looking BMW’s ever made, perfect blend between modern and classic styling.

      Automatics are overrated. I can shift Lightning fast and I am slowing down already. Every automatic from comfort to sport has never really impressed me. A mate(from rallying) tried to time my shifts ones. He gave up after a while. I shifted before he even noticed it. Not gonna lie, you need some formidable talent and excellent foot hand hearing coordination but a human can shift faster than the fanciest Lamborghini automatic. Definitely faster than the auto in an M2 bmw. Both me and Sam are that specific agegroup that are old enough to race manual shifters in anger around the narrow twisties and still young enough to have all our senses working properly plus actually still care.

    Carwow’s videos could reach new heights by including acceleration metrics like 100-200 km/h and 60-130 mph. These figures would add an exciting dimension to their content, enhancing the overall experience for enthusiasts and viewers alike.

      @kimchee411 Right? Everybody’s saying he’s really good and he probably is but all I’m seeing is that he jumps the starts. It’s like he wasn’t told that the race starts _after_ “one” and not _to_ “one”.

    Recently saw a 1M coupé in real life, what a bomb of a car it is! The concept of a shorter wheel-based BMW is just amazing, so much power on the rear wheels but less weight!

    Can we just take a moment to appreciate the evolution of the M2 series? From the iconic 1M Coupe that started it all, to the newest beastly M2 pushing 460hp, this lineup proves BMW has been at the top of their game for years. Also, Sam’s performance with the manual transmissions is a testament to the beauty of traditional driving skills in the modern tech era. Kudos to the whole Carwow team for putting together a race that serves as a tribute to the legacy and innovation of BMW! 🚗🔥👏
