2020 BMW M340i vs Audi S4 vs Mercedes-AMG C43 // DRAG & ROLL RACE

[@sampitts5734]

The S4 did better than I expected... but the bimmer is more like 382 to the wheels!

[@TheBreakfastLover]

Yeah the S4 did well considering it's well down on power vs the C43 and M340i. This is quite promising for the upcoming 355hp Acura TLX Type S. Also from looking at the 1/4-mile time, trap speed, and curb weight, the Bimmer likely makes 420+ hp. BMW under-rates their specs, but the B58 engine especially.

@@layne4376 What understeer? Are you driving your car at 10/10ths on the road?

[@The.JZA.]

@@layne4376 Really? I have a 2013 Audi S4 which I have taken to a track day at Highlands Motorsport Park and pushed to the limits. There wasn’t any understeer to speak of until you pushed past 10/10ths which is pretty damn quick. I have the Audi sport differential which can split torque across the rear axle (torque vectoring) which all but eliminates understeer and can even push you into oversteer if you’re aggressive with your inputs. Yes it’s not as tail happy as a BMW but it looks a heck of a lot better has a way nicer interior and has a better AWD system. As a daily driver, Audis are great cars. The fact that James bought one over all of the other choices should be a clue to you.

[@justinmadden7739]

Don’t worry James, I’d buy the S4 for my everyday driver if I could afford one. BMW straight six is a superb engine and seriously quick but for comfort and interior I’d go the Audi. Launching in reverse slayed me. Great video guys.

[@petrhaisman8645]

AUDI forever bro... And also for the looks of that beautiful AUDI and quality... The design of the BMW is shitty... I highly appreciate that you are also an AUDI man. Now watch this video...

[@Furrykevlar]

Tune ability is great between the 3. I choose Audi cause they don't need mutch mods to get good power.

[@asmcdon1]

I love drag races. Keep em up

[@superchargedsteve3411]

Great video guys!! My daily driver is a 2014 B8.5 Audi S4 and I absolutely love it! I've done some mods making it quicker and sound better than stock, but I feel like for the quattro awd and the way Audi does interiors it's hard to beat honestly. My weekend car is a 2013 Porsche 911 turbo s so I do enjoy German cars 🇩🇪 😎

[@thomasburns3345]

Got a tuned ‘13 myself and it’s a great car but looking to move into the M340i. I thought I would miss the supercharger and dual clutch… except the twin scroll B58 and ZF are a gem of a combo. Didn’t feel slower than the tuned s4 (claimed 440hp tune on my gas) and actually felt about identically fast. The major difference was the Audi feels frantic hitting speed and the M340i feels like it wasn’t strained at all to pull the same speeds. Both clock 12.1@114 in the quarter, both hit 3.8 in 0-60 so identical. Seems like a great upgrade from the Audi since they’re so equal tuned vs stock. The b58 certainly left a few ponies on the table to find later too! Audi interior is a bit nicer imo but the rest goes to the the BMW. Better looks, suspension, brakes, more drama from the exhaust, slightly more efficient, and the effortless speed to be had. Both great cars. I’ll miss the charger whine for sure. Intake on it just for sound!

I’m looking at getting a 2016 S4. What are y’all’s thoughts

[@paramdeepdhaliwal9694]

Thanks for this kind of drag race I hope u guys do more drag races in the future u guys r pretty good thanks James and Thomas

[@paulcran5476]

I have DTUK Tuning box on my 2017 S4. The car now produces 408bhp and 627nm. 0-60 in around 3.8 secs. The car is a complety different beast now. Highly recommended.

I’ve been waiting for this!! I can’t wait for a drag race with the upcoming TLX Type s!

[@lloydhudson6463]

Yeah, I predict the Type S will come in last place against these cars. The fastest 0-60 time I've seen do far was about 4.8 seconds, that's not going to cut it.

[@RomaneMaticaliseGordon]

@@lloydhudson6463 let’s see what happens. Redline Reviews drag races the Type S vs the S4 and the Type S won, also his 0-60 was 4.7 on an unprepped surface. I would love to see how it does in a drag race vs these and how it does on a prepped surface
