BMW M4 CSL v BMW M3 CS: DRAG RACE

Thanks to everyone for helping with this race:

- Yianni: @yiannimize

It’s time for two hardcore BMWs to go head-to-head!

We’ve got our hands on the all-new BMW M3 CS, and it’s set to face off against the almighty BMW M4 CSL!

So let’s see how the two compare. Starting with the M3 CS, it’s based on the new BMW M3 xDrive, so it comes with a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six under the bonnet, which the power output increased from 510hp in the standard car, to 550hp. Torque remains the same, at 650Nm, and the car tips the scales at 1,765kg. It comes with all-wheel drive, and as new the car costs £116,000.

Then we have the M4 CSL. Just like the M3, this car is based on the new M4. The power output is the same as the M3 CS, so the 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six puts down 550hp and 650Nm, but unlike the M3, this power is sent to the rear wheels only! However, it has one key advantage over the M3 - it weighs only 1,625kg!

So how will this one play out - will it be a clean sweep four-wheel power? Or will the lighter car snatch it? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!

The disappointment on Yianni's face after giving him false hope... Cruel but hilarious 😂

[johnnychimpo]

I love how much yianni’s mood depends on him winning. He was having the best day and it turned terrible real quick

[JSkyline]

The difference between RWD and AWD launches is crazy

Matt trolling Yianni with the 2WD Mode😂😂

You should measure how long does each vehicle need to stop at the break test and have an all time top list. I think it would be great!

Mat always delivers just in time for lunch time

[logosera]

Yianni’s becoming quite the car expert. Just listen to the smooth delivery of those stats.

the drag race we did not expect but really needed.

If disappointment has a face " Yianni's face would be perfect"😂

Love watching Yainni's reactions! The way he goes from such a high to such a low is great!

[LorenzoDallestro]

Wow, what a match-up between these two Bavarian beasts! 🏁 The M3 CS and M4 CSL are clearly at the top of their game. Love that BMW bumped the horsepower to 550 for both. 🔥

That being said, the weight difference is significant! The M4 CSL weighing 140kg less could make a considerable difference in handling and potentially lap times. 😲 Plus, the rear-wheel-drive in the M4 adds that raw, traditional sports car feel many enthusiasts crave.

I think the M3 CS offers an excellent balance with its all-wheel drive, especially in variable road conditions. But for purists who are all about that rear-wheel life, the M4 CSL seems to be the go-to.

Matt bullying Yianni😂😂😂

Mat : I can only turn right, I can't do it left.
