FIRST TEST * BMW M3 xDrive 1/4 Mile Launch Control * Tesla Model 3 Performance Killer? 

M3 easy!!

The bmw is a beast, you should come to Germany and try it on the Autobahn 🤣😅

Please do a video! Much appreciated!

why compete to TM3P? if BMW cost around Plaid S

I think the 2021 Tesla Model S long range would be a better match since they both are close in price, 1/4 mile time and horse power

@@TheRealBobMarley yeah… except for McLarens… the 765lt is stupidly quick off the line even tho it’s rwd. I’ve been at a track day with 2 765lts and it launches insanely well

Isn't it an utter stigma to have a four-wheel-drive bmw？

@@jostrander71 don’t think it should be hard to do using the stock turbos. The G80 and the new 8Y Rs3 are shaping up to be some of my favorite cars this year. I can’t wait till the Rs3 hits the streets in the US! This G80 will be a monster too

@@PapiAndrey the m3p has slower 1/4 of a mile. And is not as good on corners as any BMW M car.

@Mr. Beffu lots of trouble to lose the warranty on it, no? At least I'd think so. Could be wrong

The Tesla m3p is 3.1 seconds 0-60 and 11.7 1/4 mile at 115 mph. The BMW M3 Xdrive is 3.07 seconds 0-60 and 11.1 1/4 mile at 123 mph is the best I've seen. The m3 xdrive smokes the m3p from a roll, it's not even close btw. Also the model 3 performance is $69k loaded, the m3 Xdrive is $80k to match the model 3 performance options (and beat it with way more and better interior and looks). The m3 looks significantly better too. The model 3 performance is ugly as hell (the S plaid is super nice looking though). It's the back end m. It's like a hatchback vibe which i don't like. The model S plaid is really good though in terms of speed and looks but The handling is not nearly as good as the M3 but it's also a $160,000 car loaded compared to the M3 which is only $85k loaded.

Lol

I know how Clint feels -

Right! I wanna see the C63 and this go at it. Btw the plaid is a complete monster. It’s on another planet compared to the M3

@@joaquinc.9913 yeah but it should be compared to an M5 CS, both are big sedans, and both cost around $140k - $150k. The tesla would probably still win (because of the hp difference, 1020 hp vs 635 hp) but it would be a more even matchup.

It only adds about 100lbs

They swap the transmission for one with a built in transfer case and front diff, it doesn't gain that much weight

M3 xDrive is around 3850lbs.

@@velvetblue2285 isn’t it a bit early to say crazy reliable? And what do you mean by reliable? Reliable in comparison to what? Don’t get me wrong, it’s an awesome motor with impressive potential for a stock motor, but I think we should wait a few years to truly say whether it is reliable or not. There’s many ways to look at it and I’m not trying to say it’s unreliable or isn’t any good, but I do want to know what you mean.

@@PapiAndrey I get your point. But from what I understand, this new version has a few new engineering designs, but the core architecture has been around since 2006 and has been very solid.

Car reviewers should always mention this as at the end of the day it’s the real life performance. (At a stoplight for ex.) Unfortunately it’s rare that it’s mentioned

This is my point exactly I ask for this a lot on channels because alv is useless in real life. When at a traffic light you never use LC. Hoe Achilles replied to my request with testing the new BMW M5 CS. Did 0-60 without LC. About half a second slower

@@Tony-pe6lh this is seriously so dumb? Why wouldn’t you use launch control on an AWD car? Anytime I launch on the street at a light or anywhere, I activate launch control. This is real world numbers and street times.

@@F90Spoolin lol are you serious really … so you have a stoplight with two lanes, two cars , and there is absolutely no way you can time a proper launch control. Here it goes - red- 1 second orange , then green. (Here people tend to go even on orange )Good luck timing your launch control without looking plain stupid when you don’t know when it turns orange….😂 That’s real life conditions when you want to race a car in those conditions.

With a close up, slow motion look into his eyes when he realizes he could have had a Plaid for almost the same price as that M3

@@sooocheesy yeah u can see how he doesn't give a shit

@@sooocheesy Almost the same price? Lmfao. An M3 competition is about 73k and a Plaid with some options is literally double that amount (140k+). In other words, for the price of one Plaid you can buy two M3s. Does that look like "almost the same price" to you? That plus, I'm fairly sure the M3 has much better build quality, handles better and is more fun to drive overall.

@@FStan-co8vv Of course, there are other qualities besides straight line performance, but just looking narrowly at purchase price and straight line performance alone... even a Model S Long Range (non-Plaid) at $90k is a bit quicker to 60 and the quarter mile with a higher trap speed than the M3 Comp. And don't forget that even a Model 3 Performance is also quicker to 60 and very similar time & trap speed through the quarter mile. Plus, assuming you start at similar purchase costs, the total cost of ownership is potentially much lower for an electric car, but the magnitude depends on the miles driven over the course of ownership.

@@ken830 I won't argue against anything you said. But I'd still take the M3, it's just the nicer and more fun to drive car overall (in my opinion), even though I still dislike it's nose.

This is way better than the M5

The Model 3P is also really weak on a roll. They're all talking hard until you ask for a freeway roll race. Wahp wahp.

They're traction limited; so probably not much better.

@@updlate4756 Nope, tire Traction limit isn’t until 1 second and with wider and wider tires than Plaid which has gone bigger in size, tire traction limit is actually half a second 0-60mph/0-98kmh (0.5 second) by 2100. Also even a Honda Civic will go 0-60mph in 2 seconds in the future. We have a lot to improve on from now

@@delusion2987 that’s wrong, plaid actually loses out most of its power after 100mph. The only fast part about Plaid is the 0-60mph because it’s a electric car with instant torque so of course it would. The quarter mile and top speed is slow compared to modified gas cars. For example, a 1,000hp modified LS Turbo mustang goes 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds but did a quarter mile in 7.1 second. It doesn’t have instant torque but actually beats plaid by 50mph top speed, literally. Plaid: 0-60mph 1.98 second after roll out subtracted, 2.25 second realistically. Quarter mile in 9.08 second 154mph/247kmh with gutted interior no seats no door panels and female lightweight driver. 1,000hp Mustang: 2.5 seconds after roll out subtracted, 2.8 second realistically, quarter mile in 7.1 second 201mph/323kmh. The gas car is always faster than electric, just like in the early 1900s electric was 4 times more expensive and 4 times slower like for example model t gas car was $800 and top speed 45mph while the electric version was $3,500 and top speed 14mph...

@@onezweithree so what would you do if you were in charge? It’s not stupid when you have regulations and restrictions to deal with. It makes perfect sense when you understand the full scenario. Of course I prefer a real intake and exhaust sound, but you can always turn it off and get a downpipe and/or catback as well as full intakes and make it sound the way you want it to. If you can afford the car, you should be able to do what you want with it. Not that big of a deal in reality

@@onezweithree Have you considered the fact that emission standards are becoming more and more strict, which means less and less external sound? Based on how people cry about the lack of sound from electrics, noise is an important factor for people, so if it doesn't have the sound inside then people are going to be unhappy about their near-silent M3.

@@rustler08 yes. And I still think it’s stupid. It’s like the artificial sounds in the taycan. I just hate this kind of stuff. It’s obviously a personal thing, but I would just hate the fact, that engineering talent and money went into creating fake engine noise.

@@onezweithree both brookes snd this guy like it. Brookes couldnt pick it was fake @!

Plenty of professionally tuned cars have tried like the GT500 that needed ice to cool down.

No it wouldn’t lol

It would need 800 hp to compete with the 4600 lb Plaid. Usually turbo BMW engines can handle a good amount more power and torque than stock tune with stock internals. Getting the power into the ground as efficient as the Tesla is impossible though. The Chiron has 1.5x the power and around the same weight as the plaid and it's slower. No differential will ever beat 1 electric motor per wheel. Instant torque response means a much better traction control.

@@MrAdoh2010 even if it had over 1000hp it would still lose to the Plaid. BMW doesn’t really make fast cars.

@@MrAdoh2010 but if you check the 0-20 times on both this m3 and the tesla plaid the m3 is actually matches and is a tiny bit faster then the plaid :) i think with 800hp it could atleast give it a match😊 waiting to see european tuners take on the plaid thats gonna be fun.
