@seamas cassidy have you guys been to the autobahn? it doesn't sound like it since you're calling ~350hp cars "rapid" and "very fast". a 2002 honda NSX type R can keep up with them on a track and that car was literally build around japanese poweroutput restrictions from 1989. the S3 would have been rapid in '89, the way it is it gets a decent 0-60 time and that's it.

Absolutely correct, and my M240i xdrive would of ran circles against these cars in a dig race as well!😄

[@jerrydino1310]

M140 is a rear wheel drive so take off is not simple due to struggle with traction control. It beats them in rolling because it has big engine. That B58 engine is no joke in rolling

[@nobody2934]

Not actually true, I own a cupra 290 dsg, and I've raced a m140i and it couldn't come past me, I'd say mine was minimally quicker, but then the cupra is quicker then a golf r and s3 once rolling.

[@daniellang4011]

@nobody2934 no way, own a M140i...the Cupra is definitely slower when rolling. Even the new Golf 8 R can't get with it. Maybe the one you "raced" with used comfort mode, that makes it of course less faster

I’ve owned an M140i for about a month now, it’s a savage car and I still haven’t managed to fully push it to its limits it’s generally too quick to do that around English roads unless late at night or no cars in front, which make me wonder how M car owners get on lol... one thing that is pure class is the gear box and I think that’s what sets BMW apart from the rest, the gearboxes are so so good your going to beat most rival Audi’s and Golfs purely on kickdown, gear changes are seamless and as soon as you put your foot down it’s reeling you in. Going full hog off the mark is a gamble as the BM does wheel spin quite a bit if your tyres aren’t warm, drive ability is limited in the wet, but you can fully spank it in the dry and when you do it’s an asbo. in terms of ownership the car has so many sides to it, the fact that it’s rear wheel drive makes it a different car every time you drive it, one day you could be a straight line hero, the next your drift king, the next your opening it up on a nice B road listening to that 3 litre engine spool, which you have to remember is the only hatchback in the world to offer that combination. I read a review of the M140i before purchasing which said “it’s a highly focused, unfocused car” and I would say that’s a spot on description. In my opinion it’s an M car under the bonnet, but it’s a 1 series everywhere else, and I think that’s what let’s the car down in terms of focus, but makes it more of a handful to drive (which is good) for example, breaks could be sharper, rigidity could be improved, that’s probably it though but you can do that yourself for 2k and that’s cheaper than an extremely ott rs3 or a45 which try too hard. Engine performance in my opinion is perfect I’ve not been tempted with a JB4 box or anything like that because I think 350hp (at dyno) is enough for this car and unless your going to upgrade the breaks, tyres, lsd etc it’s not worth doing because it will become un driveable. The car is perfect as it is and you won’t be disappointed :) Not to say the others aren’t good but I think for an enthusiast it ticks all the boxes. Might go and drive it now actually :)

It's the exhaust or a bump on the road

[@martinriesco_]

Its call a dsg fart, happens when the car upshifts

[@dame8518]

judging by the S3 sound he has an aftermarket downpipe and/or catback, on a turbo car this is huge gains and most likely tuned alongside it. Thats why it performed like it did im sure

[@Bahle_Gaji]

Don’t forget tune

[@Mr94Amos]

Sounds like a stock FL S3. They upgraded the exhaust from the PFL and it crackles and pops from standard.

Yea im so confused why every rolling race every mercedes win but the a35 seems very slow for an amg

[@justanotherguy972]

rayhan indrastoto not really. It was the quickest to 60mph and we all know how beastly the S3 is. Pulling power might not be as good but off the line the amg has it

[@apocnl]

@@justanotherguy972 i wonder why they stated that. I already know the m140 S3 and golf r are able to kick in faster 0 60 times than that merc. The test car I got from bmw was a rwd and it also should be able to beat a35 on dry ground. My own xdrive would be more capable in that but will have a small weight disadvantage on rolling races.

[@st.favouraugustine3636]

The point is most rear wheel drive always pick fast on rolling race than all wheel drive. Personal observation tho. But in all, I'm always seduced by ///Amg, I just love Merc.

[@craigwarby2188]

I’m so glad I bought the M140i before it changes to a 4-pot 2 litre FWD as is suggested it will do next year. The car is a joy to ride as a daily driver too. It’s a shame BMW never made the X-Drive model available in the UK like it is available in Europe, though I’ve never had ANY issues with traction on wet days. Don’t know why he didn’t put it into manual sport+ for a launch control from the start though. It’s frightening! 😁👍🏼

Launch control and tuning from factory is of course better for premium price

The S3 and Golf R both do 0-60 mph in 4.6s so something definitely happened to the R on that launch. The R is about 100 lighter, at least in North America.
