Drag race! BMW M2 CS vs Mercedes-AMG A45 S - Standing and rolling start quarter mile

Looking to buy a used Mercedes-Benz in South Africa? We have over 4300 to choose from!

Looking to buy a used BMW in South Africa? We have nearly 4000 to choose from!

Sure, right off the bat, this might be a strange match up. But if you happened to have an A45 S and a BMW M2 CS in your garage at the same time, wouldn't you want to race them? Well, that's exactly what we've done.

And so, given that the M2 and the A45 represents a RWD vs AWD issue, we ran the standing start race three times and then switched to a rolling start.

We do hope this offers a fair and equal match up for these two cars.

Carwow fans know pre-2021 BMW launch control never works. Great video👌🏾

[AristotelisMitsiou]

This is so much better than Carwow's drag races. If this was Carwow it'd be 15 minutes of popup banner ads and messing about. The only thing missing here is a brake test and you're there

Look how the driver in the AMG gets slapped forward and backwards at the start. These Mercd are crazy!

And the A45 handles brillintly aswell, in fact, its the inly modern 4wd car which handles like the old Evo 9, where the car was rear heavy.

The new A45 have incredible porformance.

Been waiting for this! 🙌🏻🇿🇦


Was an epic drag race.🔥

[ndivhuwosumbana]

Didn’t expect the M2 to be so much faster on the rolling start... The A45s launch control is brutal

[peterchadhenniker]

I like the way you did the rolling race. This is a winning formula for you guys. Keep it up

[CobusDerrenberg]

AWESOME RACE !! Expected both raced exactly ad they happened.. Merc for standing & Beamer on rolling...
AWESOME video, as always !!
Well done and really enjoyed it 😃💪👍

[jacquesvanheerden]

Hand pistols is becoming Ciro signature move 😊

[sizwenzama]

Love the bmw but for price and other things I would go merc

[theskinnycarguy]

M2 has an extra person in the car during the rolling race too. Both insanely impressive 🤙

[isaiahk]

The quality of the video is just too good. Good work guys 👌🏾

[jongilejoe]

Goodness that M2 CS😍🔥.. I love I love😍

[sedzanithilivhali]

A few years ago hot hatchbacks cost around half a million. Now you have to fork out a cool million for that A45. Outrageous

[andreasklabis]

4-wheel-drive is soooOoo good to get the power "on the street". Greetings from 🇩🇪

There was never any doupt that the merc would just destroy the BMW from a standing start, the BMW is way more track focused tho so around a track it would be a real weapon. The A45 launches so good reminds me of a GTR launching with the rear digging in the way it does.

[mengienghinamwaami]

That tiny 4pot engine is a piece of art. Beating a 6cylinder with weight advantage 🔥🔥 A45s for the win

[mbusombuso]

As a BMW fan I must say the MERC totally roasted the beemer undeniably on the drag but it stands no chance on the track

[ZIPTRAVELS]

I’d love to see these do a 1/2mile race. The A45 is just insane on launch. What does 8 speed automated dual clutch mean

[kgaugelosebidi]

Great Vid @cars! You guys are brining it home.
