U-DRAG: BMW M3 Competition vs. BMW M8 Competition

[@edmundscars]

Which of these two Bavarian Beasts would you rather have? Let us know in the comments below.

[@davideagle3002]

I like the M8, M3 has that ugly grill treatment that makes me laugh every time I see it. 😂

[@danilodevries]

M8 Competition hands down!

[@jeffs6090]

M8 convertible for me!

[@m3awd598]

M3 of course. I already have it ❤

[@sammyhaidi6807]

Can you get an M5 Cs and do a U drag race again another car

[@jeffs6090]

I'm glad you switched cars for the second race. The second race was much closer than the first which was a much bigger gap. I'd say that has a lot to do with the driver!

[@marcelk3847]

First race they had very different reaction times

[@devinmartin3673]

@@marcelk3847 The bald-ish guy is consistently the better driver in every single U Drag he's in, regardless of who the other driver is.

Just bought a 2023 M8 competition and it is fantastic.

[@maestroadam]

That M8 is ballistic. Love it.

[@edmundscars]

It is craaaaazy

[@Dmitriy88S]

and looks better

[@Fidelisinspire]

U-drag races are the most fun to watch. I Love the format and the fact that drivers switch cars and give it another run. If you lose, no excuses.

[@AndyBettencourt]

As a former autoxer and road racer, I'd love to see a video on the behind the scenes production of U-Drags. It must take more than a few practice runs to establish the braking points and then at least a few actual runs of each race so that you can lock in the perfect pivot at the far end by both drivers.

[@dewaynesummers8105]

The M3 was very impressive going up against that M8 beast.

[@nickzarnetske9994]

Driver error on that first race, glad it was in proper hands for the second, which is outcome I was expecting. I was in a F80 M4 running some roll races with a M5 of similar year and the race was dead to 90ish but over 100 the M5 just walked away (like it should be). Fun test, I love U Drags!

[@WHY269]

I’m starting to notice a theme with these races.

[@J.W.W.]

Yes, Kurt is a better driver than his coworkers

[@troypatillo1688]

Seems like he let off the gas in the first race far ahead of the finish line.

[@notailbear335]

Would love to see a M5 competiton vs M8 competition U-DRAG! Great video!

[@kareemhailey9585]

M5 comp will lose at the launch, only M car that can beat the M8 comp is the M5 cs

[@martygreen3145]

The M8 will win bro. Except for that wicked M5 CS. Very few cars outperform or is quicker/faster than that thing. 😳

[@e-ma-ma]

M5 comp would lose, but the CS would beat the M8 comp

[@manofsesame3024]

They are equipped with the same engine but M8 has sportier body style

[@johnnyboy1586]

The new front end on the M3 has really grown on me love how the raised lines of the hood run down to th edge of the grill😊

[@adamhalkechev7728]

we need more of these

[@edmundscars]

Coming up!

[@petermeister7191]

Great race, the closest you can get ;) Incredible how close the M3 is to the M8 and as expected, it get´s its advantage in the corner. Your U-drag is something unique, I very much like it!

[@ESKATEUK]

One of the guys is clearly a better driver than the other. If the drivers were the same, you’d see a result sitting between the two runs here.

[@martygreen3145]

“Lord have mercy!” Those M8’s are no joke!! 😳

[@Smzxe]

McLaughling 765LT Vs Porsche 992 Turbo S please

[@khwezimfungeni7922]

The second race was epic🔥

[@billshoe22191]

Absolutely love U Drag races. If it’s not too dorky, could you guys consider putting tire info/spec in the video as I am always curious about what they are running? I know some cars now come on as some cars come with Cup (R) tires, etc, which really offer an edge. Keep up the amazing work!

[@Bossd974]

Clearly Kurt got the best out of both cars.

[@DM72513]

Happens every time. They've yet to find a driver as good as him.

[@Scribbleguy976]

“Fairly straightforward” and they then needed to go through a procedure akin to a rocket launch. We can do better.

[@keithjackson4985]

I don't love the M8 because it's faster. I love it because it looks so athletically sculpted. BMW's best looking car.

[@K-bob_45]

Need the GT500 to come back. It’s speed at the end of the old course was higher than either of these two on this new longer course

[@The_Hi_Life]

💪🏼V8 Baby! All day, Everyday…

[@yupyup4209]

Id love to see the most base level Mustang and Camero go against each other. Some cheaper driver cars in general would be great to see!

Great feedback! We'll keep it in mind

[@groundedgaming]

Amazing video! I love the U-Drag. It reflects the car so much better than Drag races, by including braking and cornering, but I understand that booking a track is not very feasible, so sometimes Drag strip is all you can do. Wish U-Drag would be more widely adopted instead of Drag race. Tracktimes are still the most accurate though! The choice of car is nice, but I think they could be better if you compared M4, against M8 since they have the same body style. I also think each driver could have a bit more runs in each car.

[@ProjectAjax]

Loved it as always

[@PatriotaBoricua]

Would had been great to see M8 Gran Coupe vs M3. And M8 vs M4.

[@thestig4408]

Huge difference in drivers here..

[@uik99]

For the price difference not much more performance but you do get the glorious v8 noise which automatically makes it worth the price

[@de_stroyed]

Carwow can learn from your testing procedures. I wish they had bits of what you guys did in their standard tests...

[@3sgteyota]

Damn, that Mustang is fast. 👊🤣

Those ZF-8 speeds r something else man 😱😳

Lol I love how it says speed limit 35 mph in the M8 lol this race was amazing 🤩

[@gonedeep43]

Where is this being film at?? It looks like the old NALF Crowslanding?

[@peterhammer6915]

With a proper driver in the 2nd race the M3 did way better than expected 😍

This is why I don’t let vehicle marketing hype me up. There’s always someone faster! No need to overpay for cars due to specs on a sheet. Too many people overpay because of this crap, when really, you should be buying a car based on many different factors, not just “hype”.

3:50 race

[@craigm3253]

Having an M8 Comp, I'm curious about the actual car/engine setup as nothing they did or showed looked correct except maybe putting it in a generic setting (possibly why launch control did not work), and what does launch control have to do with a 3rd or 4th gear shift? Perhaps he meant to say traction control?

[@Cookiebit21]

Such an awesome race guys.

Thanks Nick, appreciated.

Pls do m8 comp against bmw m5 cs

Before watching - alright, my guess is the M3 takes it, but not by much. Superior brakes and handling should outpace the M8s power. Let's see how wrong i am. Edit - m3 not m4.

Okay, I was wrong, but it was close.

The M3 ain't that "slow" compared to its big brother the M8!.i guess its a family thing😂😂

[@edwingonzalez8840]

U-DRAG IS AWESOME!

[@superspeeder]

How can you show a race where the start was SO OBVIOUSLY JUMPED by the M8? I couldn’t care less which one wins, but come on… given the effort it takes to publish a video like this the LEAST you can do is try. Unreal.

[@RiceCzechs]

It actually looks like the M8 just had the slightly quicker reaction time. Play it back and forth and the signaler's hands have dropped before the M8 takes off. Given Race 2's similar results, it probably wouldn't have made a difference in the finishing order.

[@superspeeder]

@@RiceCzechs agree completely, but when one driver screws up the launch, scrub the race and start over. This should be a comparison of the cars as much as practically possible, not the drivers.

[@unexplainedwearenotalone3537]

M8 always king of any bmw and always is better traction control stability flat bi turbo best.

[@THEANPHROPY]

M5 would of been a better match for the M8! We need to petition BMW for an M7 lol & a M9!!!

[@BPoweredLove]

That was a lot closer than I thought it would be. 10:29 Weird. It sounds like the throttle was dropped here for about a full second. My ears are playing tricks on me, I guess.

I’m new to this channel and one thing for sure is that Kurt is better driver than Reese lol even if a certain car wins both races it never wins by a lot less when Reese drives it lol

[@abc123fhdi]

In the past, turn off traction control put the car back into comfort, I've seen how some auto journalist turned off traction not realizing this and thought they were in the sportiest setting, better to do lots of research before assuming anything.
