BMW M3 Touring v BMW X5M: DRAG RACE

BMW fans, this one’s for you!

We’ve got Mat in the all-new BMW M3 Touring, and he’s facing off against the BMW X5M Competition!

So let’s see how the two compare. Starting with the M3 Touring, it’s powered by a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six that can deliver 510hp and 650Nm of torque. It powers all four wheels and tips the scales at 1,865kg.

Then we have the X5M. Powered by a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8, it’s up on power compared to the M3, and is able to put down 625hp and 750Nm of torque. It’s up on weight compared to the M3, too, coming in at 2,410kg.

So will the huge weight difference prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

I know Mat just bought a 911 GT3 RS but now Mat needs this M3 Touring to make the ultimate duo. That BMW has everything from practicality, looks and performance!

Me as photographer looking at the sky and imagining how good of a picture they could’ve done to the cars 🥲

Mat: going over 130 mph
Also Mat: look at the sky!

What's left to see? A drag race with ALL the current M cars (from the 2-series to the XM)
You could even do brackets 😊

Mat may not be a professional racer, but, he has really gained a ton of experience over the years at drag racing and it shows more and more with each race.

One should check the break pressure applied by Yianni and Mat. Yianni treats the break pedal like a leg press.

It’s shocking how Yianni loves cars but knows very little about them technically 😂

Looking like y'all might hit 8M subscribers today, congrats you've definitely earned it with maybe the most car content

[moonlightcayenne]

Really love these sunset evening races. Please keep doing them!!

I was pulling for the BMW to win and lose here. I was successful on both counts!

M3 touring has been busy big time. But I think it's wise to do a Dyno test to see how much hp the car actually has because that can't be 510hp.... Bimmer, all day everyday

[jonastrt]

for me this X5M is one of the most underrated SUVs in the world

[ralphvanhove]

We now need a race with all X5 M generations!

11.8 seconds is pretty crazy for an X5 if you remember that the original '08 Nissan GT-R had a similar 1/4 mile time.

[jamisonz]

I miss those X6M races so much. Please make some more X6M race if you can！

Hi Matt. Congratulations on your work. Even though I have an 80 hp opel astra, during the time I watch your videos, I feel like I am the one driving those nice cars you drive and that makes me very happy. Keep it up, a hug.

[paultaylor]

So funny you guys together, definitely the best two at drag races etc. Estate car for me every time, who want to drive around in a brick, and be hated by most of the people.

EXPECTED
X5 to be flogged and didn't happen
X5 to loose brake test and won.
X5 big BOX on wheels is impressive

[bradkalman]

I'd like to see the top speeds at the end of the quarter mile for these cars that you drag race.

I think I watch too much CarWow when I can say "Hoy ho wayu, Mah Wahson here frum Carwaw" flawlessly
