[@FStan-co8vv]

@@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.

[@ken830]

@@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.

[@FStan-co8vv]

@@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.

As a model3 performance owner i dont mind this at all. Hopefully Tesla reacts with a SW upgrade to make their M3P faster 😀. Even then i must say handling wont be near as close. That's why the bimmer cost $40k more.

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.

0-60mph in BMW M3 is 3.18s from Top Gear. 7.39s to 100mph. 3.14s to 60 here. 1/4m in 11.23. The M3 not only outclasses its own class...it actually thwarts the rivals of its older brother...the M5. Its slightly quicker to 60mph than the E63s AMG (3.2s), and 0.3s quicker to the quarter mile. Audi RS6 isn't even in the equation. Panemera Turbo S e Hybrid barely 0.14s quicker to 60.

The G80 M3 xdrive has now run 9.5’s stage 3. That’s almost as fast as that $140k plaid with much nicer fit and finish, glorious sound, and still far cheaper. The standard brakes and seats in that plaid are totally inadequate for a car that fast.

[@PapiAndrey]

@@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

[@rustler08]

@@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.

[@onezweithree]

@@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.

Seeing a low 11 second car getting blown by like that boggles my mind as to what the performance of cars will be 10 years from now.

[@updlate4756]

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

[@GoSwearingOrGoHome]

@@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

[@GoSwearingOrGoHome]

@@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...

I used to own a silver and red Nappa leather 2002 M3 SMG with several k miles in 2003. It was the very first M3 equipped with LC or Launch Control. I did a few of it on Capitol Expressway in San Jose CA and that was exhilarating with a bit tire chirping and it was gone in split seconds.

[@hispeed8500]

Will be interesting to see if Tesla sends another OTA performance update in response.

[@philorgneopolotin8762]

Tesla finna download some more acceleration tonight, just watch

[@fjalics]

I don't think they will. I don't think Tesla will respond till those 4680's are in production, but then, it might get ludicrous. There is a lot of room between the current Model 3 performance, and the Plaid. They could drop a carbon wrapped motor into it, and put this thing into a place where Demons struggle to beat it. They could easily charge 10G extra for it too. Like maybe a 0-60 in 2.8 and a 10.5 quarter mile.

[@alanmay7929]

[@WilliamVG]

[@Rene-cm6go]

Compared Tesla with M3 or some other similar car is totally dumb. In Tesla you can enjoy in acceleration.. in M3 you can enjoy in everything else.

[@relaxingtravel-LosAngeles]

I expected those 0-60 and 1/4. Trap is a bit low but that can fixed w tune. I could never get passed the nose.. so ended up ordering a model s long range. About the same 0-60 but traps closer to the regular M5. Same price as the M3x. Great car the m3x, just the design not for me.

[@mrpratster]

Too complicated is this BMW launch control. By the time you are ready, the model 3P will have left you in the dust.. catching up after 100mph perhaps

[@302ci1968]

Thx for the video. But couldyou please test its acceleration against a Tesla model 3 performance (or at least dual motor)?

[@EngineeringEssentials]

Model S long range would be more closer competition 😁

[@a.banana]

BMW M4 is $76k, Model S LR is $90k. LR used to be like $80k, but there was a price bump recently. Unfortunate, because the LR was a nice option for those looking for a $70k performance car. Now there's kind of a large gap where they make models priced at $40k, $50k, $56k, but then their next sedan jumps to $90k. Made more sense at the previous $80k price point.

Tesla needs to up its game with the Model 3 Performance. It used to handily beat untuned M3/4 in the quarter. With this 4 wheel drive model, it is a few tenths quicker in the quarter. The Model 3 P needs at least 50 more horsepower to regain it’s edge.
