Mini Cooper S JCW GP vs. BMW M3 E46 on the Nuerburgring Nordschleife I

[@lupo0144]

You Sir, Are a Hero! That was some of the best driving i've seen! Bet the driver of the E46 M3 was not happy seeing a little Mini sitting in his rear view mirror all the way around the Ring?.... I'm looking for a change of Hot Hatch....This may have done it for me!

[@antj29]

cracking vid, good to see a GP caned senseless, not got orange wheels on this car by any chance has it,

[@Fyrmiro]

Amazing sound at the jcw gp! well done great round on the track

[@coolmendotdot2]

@blackberry4511 the GP has +105 hp, so it has 310 hp and more than 350 NM.

[@mulysport]

great video and top driving, whats the bhp of a GP cooper s?

[@Kentworlds]

Very Goooood driving from both racers, esp from the cooper s driver he was great i loved watching your video keep me updated, thanks HK

[@rabmc]

These cars are severely underrated! Rapid on track for what the are!

[@ps3dubbs]

@cheryltweedyismint the typ r is faster than the mini cooper jcw? what about the gti's? i agree the coop is allot tighter around corners but ive heard that the overall acceleration is weak/slow compared to gti and typ r.????

[@andysj531]

God, that would be SOO much fun

[@tuneo]

you knows the circuit very well! How many times enter in this circuit?

[@ssilver88]

I love your MINI GP, but what is with the short shifting?

[@Fahren_Freude]

of course an m3 has the spirit, and the soul. It's safer too. but this is the 3rd video i've watched of this guys driving, nice work.

[@AllDayBby]

if you wouldn't mind.. would you post a parts list. of everything you moded your car with please. that would be awesome man. and great driving btw

[@jaldeborgh]

Looks like the MINI driver is smoother than the M3 driver. The MINI also seems to be able to brake later but the M3 has edge on acceleration both torque and top end. The MINI also looks faster in the corners. Looks like great fun in any case.

[@weets69]

Dude, awesome driving and great video. I own an 06 JCW not the GP version. What are the differences other than no back seat in the GP. Is it the same engine and HP? Love the sound of your machine.

[@coolmendotdot2]

Ist dieser Wagen auch für die Straße zugelassen?

[@nfrenay]

Awesome driving!!! Seems like a fun car for the Ring. How many laps have you done already?

[@reissue]

GP is an awesome car. This guy has skills, chasing the E46 was only because he knew it makes for interesting watching. There were times he could have pushed it and passed the M. Yes the E46 had showed some speed in the straights but few cars corner like the R53. A well tuned R53 is quick in and out of the turns, you don't know until you've tried it. Amazing.

[@jose-Maki]

What a driver very good Do you drive with the esp off? i would like having a drive with you it would be fun :)

[@SerialDriver]

very nice lap. Seems to be fun and very driveable car. Is it stock (power, street tires ?)

[@t35ko]

Awesomeness! This guy just made me realize something. I want to do this too!!! :D Thank you sir!

[@tubing1982]

Good driving. You obviously have a good knowledge of the ring too.

[@ps3dubbs]

@ps3dubbs thnks 4r the reply, was enquiring because im interested in buying a cooper jcw or a typ r.

[@germankid93]

@scopesunited the 1st generation Minis are supercharged (R53) the 2nd gen are tubrocharged.

[@Laborchet]

what? no he didnt. on the other hand, there is no way he will ever catch up to the m3 on the straightaways but on the corners the m3 is forced to slow down and the mini catches up and takes the corner right behind it.

[@ebato123]

Nice driving, i was having fun just watching. [In the process of acquiring a mini] -peace

[@HadaCakraningrat]

That M3 cant even run away from this mini, superb driving ! and remember it's 1.6 litre vs 3 litre...

[@filipegarcia200]

These jcw have an impressive handling...they barely oversteer,brake very well and have a good punch in lower rpm

[@mcgeni86]

The Engine is original???

[@JustRibbing]

How much power????

[@danny306gti]

That was pretty amazing! Sounds like it may have had the boost tampered with as it sounds rather... turbo'y, lol. Rally enjoyed watching. This fella really needs to get a new Megane cup!!!

[@its2realj]

are there any mods in the mini?

[@Tuallesaberdasnicht]

how much ps u have?

[@LeeFinneyZ9]

Having driven a couple of mini coopers ( courtesy cars ) - i would bet that, anyone wanting a daily runaround car that they can also take on a track would be hard pushed to find a more usable & fun package :D

[@mudslider20]

Impressive, it's pretty wild what these cars can do with relatively low HP/TRQ #'s. R56s driver here.

[@JoshHperl]

love the sound of that mini

[@MrCityBug]

O M G , gotta get me a cooper s, wicked and great drivin too

[@myyotube8497]

is the gp stock?

[@ZIM252]

Thanks, now I want to go to VIR with my GP.

[@its2realj]

P.S: lets just say its always easier to follow then to lead.

[@SLIDWYS]

The mini is completely outclassed, I don't care what trim it is, it is a fwd hatch with an engine exactly HALF the size of the M3. This is impressive.

[@killernils]

Is the mini tuned?

[@tylerhilligoss]

Awesome driving, dude.

[@Mcflai]

Good video! A pity you couldnt pass the BMW... That Mini is a very good machine. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@Veee6]

good work with that Works ;)

[@mcericx]

very nice driving sir!

[@JustRibbing]

Very gool excelent driving for such a track!

[@SpyGirl010101]

@frigo1966 WOW... ♥ ilove the way it sounds, and the hum that it has when you accelerate. i hope to get one soon!

[@bossboy007]

What a driver !!! Awesome! M3 couldn't shake off a mini ," now iv seen everything ,

[@s2000tuner]

wow, awesome driving..

[@ColinH007]

Nice driving !

[@chokey121]

Nice vid good driving!

[@PhenomStaR]

Nice driving man very good

[@cuprahalef]

very nice driving skill !!!

[@xyz078124]

3:17 best car *__*

[@MrYeri13]

Very nice driving :)

[@stevethetree1991]

this guy is such a sick driver!!!

[@grega1cooper]

Woww... This GP model miss 2 rear seats :( for a single dad as me I would love bring my 2 kids on tracks... Should I better try a M3??? It doesn't have the same spirit and soul...

[@JayBruler]

Very good driving

[@TwoWheelWarrior]

Very cool....you're a very lucky man.

[@bmwe30guy]

its actually double the displacement seeing how the E46 ///m runs a s54b32.

[@xschan]

@Laborchet Is not a mini, it's a GP

[@oipolloi999]

Great driving, people saying otherwise don't understand. Can clearly see you're faster on the bends than the BMW, just a little behind on the straights.

[@ihategmz5174]

This kid can drive.

[@beemerkid1]

im going to get a new mini cooper s hardtop, and yes i will put work into it, not just to race it but because i want my car to be quick ill be more then happy with a 1.6 liter turbo 4 cylinder with near 300bhp, and also get 30mpg

[@Neil100]

Guy knows the track.

[@simonthomas5367]

Nice lap. With less traffic you could've had the Beemer. Next time.....!

[@MangoSmoothie16]

Dude in the M3 is probably like WTF? Why is a mini on my ass?

[@Neil100]

Or maybe it was Sabine Schmitz??

[@licarcar]

Damn! You're a good driver

[@StephanD1987]

naaah.. no happy end da hats der kleine dem großen aber ordentlich gezeigt :D niice!

[@d17a2dude]

I want to bring my cooper s up from spain and take in on that track one day

[@beemerkid1]

ohh and the e46 m3 is a inline 6

[@botniaring]

nice engine in that Mini

[@TheBrux100]

ruddy good driving (y)

[@frigo1966]

@mcgeni86 Yes!

[@PaulEubanks]

Throw the red turtle shell!

[@kylesimpson4615]

Oh the things I would do to drive that course...

[@derbigpr500]

@Supercatilinam Um...you would spend 70k euros on M3 because its a much better car than Mini in every single way. The guy driving M3 in this video cant drive it properly... M3 is much faster than Cooper.

[@HadaCakraningrat]

where do you learn to drive fast? holy Jesus your driving skill is amaaaazing.

[@piterken107]

super geil und schnell :))) aber kämpfen muss der kleine mini dann schon

[@miroslav1o1]

It is for me the great place on Earth , the Meka ..

[@5632930]

Awesome~!!!

[@deathbydotz]

sick!

[@DickAmateur]

Excellent!!! :-)

[@Minsk45]

@Laborchet Yes but to catch up with an M3 you need to really FORCE the Mini, where the M3 is effortless, get it? I could turbo a VW Beetle and catch up, but I'd be sweating my ass off by the time I did. Clearly the M3 driver is not using the car at its fully potential...put the Mini driver in there!

[@tiburonski]

"wir machen den weg frei" ;-)

[@NOCARRIER416]

@Marcoakadj power is only one small part of the equation. if it was about power then a Ford pickup truck would smoke the M3. Power, weight, handling, brakes, and driver. Remember this is a Cooper S JCW GP model, not a standard coooper s.

[@Gromit801]

Cracks me up how bikers always seemed surprised that cars are passing them.

[@zombao]

How anyone don't like this video!!

[@nicoxis]

Saw the entire video, didn't use any useless blinking

[@benny996]

Schöne Linie

[@beemerkid1]

m3 will smoke a boss, i had e46 m3 loved the car, im gettin a r56 mini , cars are quick good on gas and look good when hooked up, but considering the diffrent classes the mini was right on him just about the whole time, besides american muscle cars modernday muscle cars are wackkkk, 60's are good but modernsuckkkk

[@reissue]

mini in the red =handfulllll

[@80silvio]

Moto e macchiene che girano contemporaneamente??? Ma addò s'è visto mai?!!! Ma voi in Germania state proprio fuori di testa!!! Comunque GRANDE COOPER S ;)

[@beemerkid1]

ive had all kinds of cars, f150's mustangs Taurus's, the newer cars are shit, early 90's held up, had a 93's 5.0 and a f150 heavy duty with extended cab and 5.0 in it,just gt rid of it recently, had it for 19 years, had 85 thousand on it, never had any problems with it, im 25 i rode it hard was my pops when he got a benz he gave me the truck then i bought 03 e46 m3 raced the shit out of it, made alot of money, only flashed the computer otherwise stock, i told you bout he mustang,, had a vw vr6
