BMW i4 M50 v Tesla Model 3 Performance: DRAG RACE

.............................................................

What a way to start the new year! We’ve got the all-new BMW i4 M50 going head-to-head with one of the best performance EVs around - the Tesla Model 3 Performance!

So let’s take a look at their stats. Starting with the BMW, it’s powered by dual electric motors that put down 544hp and 795Nm of torque. It’s pretty heavy though, tipping the scales at 2,215kg.

Now the Tesla may also have dual electric motors, but it’s quite down on power compared to the i4, producing 490hp & 660Nm! It’s got one big advantage though… It’s over 350kg lighter than the BMW!

So, which do you think will snatch the win? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

As a German, I will always enjoy Mat’s German accent. Happy new year everyone!

Its races like these that make Carwow so good. Nobody really knows the outcome of a unique matchup like this and were all impressed nonetheless

I've been in an i4 m50 and they are rapid. Interior is really nice too!

Both cars are amazing. As an enthusiast of all cars, I glad to experience all the advancement in technology we get to have in our lifetime.

Tesla : " I live my life at quarter mile at the Time "
BMW : Autobahn

When Matt rocks back and forth in his seat that gives it an extra 10 horsepower!

5:29 seems like the sky wants to show the BMW to use it's indicator 😂

As a Tesla S owner and an ex-BMW owner, I found that the BMW certainly has better car body built. I can clearly hear my husband’s phone conversations inside the Teslas while I stand outside of the car with everything closed. And I have to turn down the music’s volume when I drive on city’s road. I never had acoustical problems when I drove my my old BMW. I’m already on the waitlist of the i4.

I still remember that factory specs Model 3 performance completed 1/4 mile in 11.7s in previous carwow drag races. I am not sure that this 12s score was caused by the environment or the modification, so it is hard to say that i4 can beat tesla in drag race. Anyway, I think the weight difference can definitely show the gap between the two makers.

Is it just me or is Mat's F1 impersonation actually quite good? 😂

[smoitry]

Wow love that video! Especially because I'm a BMW fanboy since my young age, and because the Tesla 3/Y were the only cars that gave me the "almost" same feeling than a BMW when driving. As a fanboy I love the i4 winning some races, but it's good to see that your drag race confirms what I thought about the Tesla !

The Model 3 P has finally met its match. Well done, BMW. These two are incredibly fast!!

Happy New Year to all of you. Let's hope for an awesome 2022!

7:22 Mat’s German accent never disappoints 🤣🤣

[leemacdonald]
