BMW M3 Touring v Audi RS6: DRAG RACE

It’s time to find the ultimate performance estate of 2023!
We’ve got Mat in the New BMW M3 Touring, and he’s going head-to-head against the almighty Audi RS6!
So let’s see how the two compare. Starting with the BMW, it’s powered by a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six that can produce 510hp and 650Nm of torque. It drives all four wheels, weighs in at 1,865kg, and the price starts from £85,000.
As for the Audi, it’s packing a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet that’s good for 600hp and 800Nm of torque. It’s equipped with Quattro all-wheel drive, tips the scales at 2,075kg, and the price starts from £113,000.
So what do you think - will the BMW’s weight advantage be enough to snatch the win? Or will Quattro AWD seal it in these damp conditions? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
Thanks to / d4nxv for lending us his RS6!

That BMW is an absolute animal. Get that on the dyno now!

[@M3dicayne]

My guess is that the BMW has a bit more HP than advertised... And the Audi less (did happen a lot with RS6, even if just 3-10 hp). The weight is a disadvantage while launching, while the air drag becomes a problem with higher speeds - so the Audi always has its disadvantages outweighing the slightly more HP in general.

[@DavidGarcia29497]

I truly believe Audi slept on their laurels with the C8 gen. The C7 was such a monster they thought the new gen would not need much changes, and the competition (no pun intended) caught them up so vastly that the cars in the class below are as fast if not faster. Once said this, the M3 has to have more than 510hp. The way it keeps up is mighty

[@bagger9353]

Even with 510hp it has a better power to weight ratio, but only marginal.

[@Divine_Serpent_Geh]

I agree, they made a big mistake. They created a monster setup with the C7s and kind of just assumed that the others would simply stand by and not do anything about it. That new performance model they just announced better be pumping out 700+hp even though it’s rated at 630. It literally can’t have less than that if it wants to stand any chance in the segment. New E class AMGs and M5s with hybrid setups pushing 800hp are not far away, and Audi is still dicking around and playing it safe. So goddamn sad.

[@kraakjalg]

The only aspect RS6 beats M3 Touring is comfort and space wise. Worth mentioning that both cars are sold in the same price range level which shows how expensive are modern BMWs.

[@RobManser77]

I haven’t driven this generation, but have tried a few others, and to be honest, they’ve always been pretty ordinary to drive unless you’re absolutely caning it. It’s far cheaper and more satisfying to own a sports car and a more normal 3 series, which is what I’ve always done. That ‘more normal 3 series’ can even be a version with more performance than you’d ever use on the road and still save you enough over an M to buy and run a sports car - running costs are usually a step change to an M model.

Matt is another factor on these races sometimes, he has become skillful in launching these cars

[@intellect5850]

I wish they would switch drivers, I can’t help but remember he has broken 2+ different PRs for the quarter mile in 2+ different cars.

[@jordank195]

@@intellect5850 for fear of sounding naive but surely if all he’s doing is using launch control then there isn’t any driver skill in the 1/4 mile time? All the times are recorded using raceboxes and gps so even if their reaction times are off the actual sprint time isn’t affected. It just doesn’t make for good content if they don’t start at the same time, plus you want to visually see the race rather than just compare the times. Hopefully you get what I’m trying to say

[@jordank195]

I’ll admit tho his reaction times are stellar

[@Rajonas007]

3:39 Drag 1 6:15 Drag 2 7:46 Roll 8:56 roll 2 9:34 roll 3

[@MrUnknown2105]

Thank you if they made the video split with tags for this it would be helpful...always end up skipping the crap at the start

[@arhansoylu]

your glasses so good

[@mamomohamedbalasa6892]

Matt can you do the dyno test for m3 touring please

[@gonzogonzalez3341]

Finally rollout Sport Mode on Automatic mode from gearbox and not just always Comfort mode on Automatic only 🙏🔥 That was the only thing missing in your videos. To see the different performance from the gearbox on a race. Thanks Matt 💪

[@spedussy]

NOW THIS IS A GOOD RACE, basically it depends on who gets off the line better

[@daftbence]

Exactly, this one was wildly depending on driver + luck.

[@Tirah5]

No sh!t captain obvious.

[@kramshiron]

As is any standing drag race…a rolling race is much more on car performance than drivers reactions.

[@marvinmeyer8639]

Basically it depends on the BMW having more like 550hp

[@PERFECT3345]

hi matt has starting price of RS6 gone up from 95k?

[@kissgergo5202]

I would love to see this drag race in the dry as well

[@TRX25EX]

One of closest races from start till end

[@boondockbwoy14]

Awesome race Matt one of the best yet was waiting for this one from time! ..can't wait til BMW releases their new M5 touring for their next gen 5er I'm antsy like a lil child right now so ready 👏🏽😁🔥

[@hunterinternational4123]

Love it

[@ed8519]

What make is that jumper?

[@ahorton6786]

This shows just how good the ZF gearbox is too. There's no requirement for a heavy dual clutch anymore.

[@ashleysambo4104]

But dual clutch transmission are good on track but zf good for cruising

[@stefanomarcellino6701]

Both are ZF8

[@Lukas-jm7cx]

@@stefanomarcellino6701 yeah you are right, dumb comment of OP ngl, he is basically saying: This just shows how good A is. There is no need for A.

[@peterhammer6915]

I love the M3 but have to disagree on the ZF. I hate it. It has better software in the M3 than in the M5 but it still reacts so slowly in manual mode in upshifts. With the DCT the M3 would be perfect imo. In normal driving the ZF is great.

[@stupidpieceofequipment]

@@peterhammer6915 what about just... a manual?

[@benoitdeclercq9722]

wow the M3 .. was expecting a good race but this hits the ball out of the park.. fantastic stuff Mat!

[@mrcommentator3640]

The ppl asked for the M3 Touring, and BMW over delivered 😏👌🔥🔥🔥

[@brightwellm1312]

Those Glasses actually suit you, you make the cars look even more sophisticated 😆

[@ChromeDonutGaming]

M3 touring is spectacular 🔥one of the best carwow videos

[@poplaurentiu4148]

Just a minor observation (at least for me).. For the front look i would still choose previous BMW generation before the huge nostrils, or the Audi face otherwise even with 2 less cylinders BMW and less weight was still neck in neck with Audi and that is very impressive indeed considering the purchasing price aspect..

[@ChromeDonutGaming]

@@poplaurentiu4148 I hated the grills at first but it grew on me over time

[@MohammedJobori]

I love Bmw but it looks ugly , rs6 is way better looking.

[@okithdesilva129]

Mat never fails to wow us with all these reviews, drag races and videos!

[@romansenger2322]

And you never fail with your bot comments

[@rasherbasher8203]

​@@romansenger2322 its programmed that bad that doesn't know the difference between "in" and "on".. .. STUPID BOT.

[@javiervillapun4908]

One of your best 👌 videos Matt, because you surprised us with a different challenge (best of 5 for launch) because the two cars compared, so similar and different, because weather conditions, because your empathy and humour shared with your colleague, and because most of us (watching) are fans of both brands ans models. Congrats & Bravo!!!!

[@52t99]

The 2 cars can be those stealth cars on the highway for the unknowing. 4 doors, wagon hatchback, but absolute beasts.

[@Nitramrec]

7:44 Min.: That was a jumping the gun by the BMW, because the start signal was easy to snticipate. Every time the starter should wait a different amount of time before lowering the arms.

[@574104]

Great video Matt and the team. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.

[@purwantiallan5089]

10/10.

[@uzusual7379]

The coolest race I ever seen in carwow,that was unbelievable!!!

[@norwegian_canam650sindre2]

id love to see a dragrace of a volvo v90 t8 with polestar against something in its class one time;)

[@noahf6525]

I’m so upset that the US market didn’t get the G81 M3 :(
