2021 BMW 330i X Drive takes on Dodge Charger Hemi 5.7, Weight vs Power, drag and roll race!

My experience with modern BMW 4 cylinder turbos is they are extremely fun around town, but ultimately lose steam on the top end causing them to get beat by bigger motors. The newer b46/48 engines are quite nice.

I can see many dodge enthusiasts here. For me I wanted to see if the base 330i all wheel drive was as fast as the charger r/t. What I saw was two daily drivers battling it out. One gets over 40mpg ( tested through a youtuber ) highway and the other gets 25 ( I havent seen any videos of highway fuel tests for the charger r/t. Im considering both of these cars for future purchase. For me it seems like the newer bmws have really come a long way in terms of reliability with these newer motors ; The ( b48 motor ) 330i, and the scat pack equivalent ( b58 motor ) the m340i. Im not a bmw enthusiast or a mopar enthusiast, but I do own an 05 Ram Hemi truck, and for the most part it runs just fine except a weird intermittent turn signal light failure and the 12mpg. All in all dodge seems like a solid choice if mpg is not an issue, but bmw might be good too.

@ few months ago I bought a 2022 530e and raced a 530i. The 530e gives a significant speed boost like a car and half length jump ahead of 530i. Even tho they advertise 5.7 0-60 I know it’s much quicker because I raced a genesis g70 3.3t (twin turbo v6) and I got it off the line also though it did reel me in quick. So yeah if you do buy a 330e it will be significantly quicker of the line than 330i and if you decide to add air intake and ecu tune it even better.

So much hate for the 5.7. Of course it's not going to be fast. It's a 4200 pound v8 that still gets 30 MPG on the highway. It's huge inside and very comfortable. And it's still a v8 so it sounds amazing.

[@coolsahib]

I'd save the money and get a 5.7 or 6.4 and slap on a supercharger

[@timmypstyle]

For the part about Mercedes underrated their cars, ive heard that a few of the German companies like Mercedes and BMW, actually use their wheel horsepower numbers as their ratings. So the 255hp in the BMW is actually closer to 300hp at the crank.

[@xxsonsxx30]

Yeah for sure, there’s no way in hell that 255hp is that fast

[@timmypstyle]

@@xxsonsxx30 exactly. I have a 372hp challenger and a 240hp monte carlo. A 255hp BMW should be only a little quicker than my monte and not be almost able to hang with the challenger. But more often than not, they blow my monte away.

[@danoff__]

Nope stock its 255hp on the crank not wheels, stage 1 it gets to 310hp on the crank and then most likely will beat the rt

[@timmypstyle]

@danoff__ BMW and Mercedes have been known to use their wheel numbers as their crank numbers for awhile. If you look at bmws and look at cars with similar weight and hp ratings, the bmws win. And I remember seeing a dyno somewhere of a stock bmw getting near the crank rating at the wheels. Many companies did this in the 60s also, or st least underrated them, same with the 98-02 LS1 camaro and firebird. They rated them at 305hp but they dynoed at like 295 at the wheels.

[@spicysnowman8886]

​@@timmypstyle i think its just more common for other companies to overrate their cars.

[@MrMk82]

Back in the days 330s had L6 NA engines with 231hp.. And the 2021 only have 255?

[@spicysnowman8886]

In reality it makes more than that and the torque difference is massive.

[@Veyronp87]

330i is a quick little commuter BMW honestly. its punchy around town

[@dannytapia7330]

can you try and feature the 5.7 Jeep on this channel?

[@SamCarLegion]

Can’t find one

[@Spiritualwarfare587]

The hybrid version 330e will smoke’s him

[@michaelpopp6340]

A rwd 330 bmw (less weight and parasitic drag) would probably be right with or ahead of the charger for every single race. The 100+ hp on paper difference isn't real. It's probably more like 50 difference as the dodge is overrated in hp, and the bmw is underrated. The hemi also is unimpressive in low end torque. I have owned 4 hemis. The 5.7 hemi has not impressed me in anything that I've driven it in. Once you get to the 6.1 and 6 4 hemi, then it's a different story.

[@AR-ix8fq]

To me, the 5.7 isn't a race car, it's a smooth cruiser.

[@dnegel9546]

The only race car in dodge lineup was the demon.

[@AustinDashes]

@@dnegel9546 yup! You get it. Most things dodge makes are good cruisers with a little extra. I had a '13 charger interceptor with the 5.7 and all the police gear was removed (weighed like an rt then) and with the more aggressive rear gearing it moved pretty well. But still! It was more of a cruiser with a great soundtrack from the motor. Lovely car.

[@juny1982]

And this isn't the 340M which supposed to be his competition and the 330i x drive gave run for his money 🤑💰. Good work BMW Bavarian those it again good vid Sam.

[@SamCarLegion]

M340i doesn’t compete with this

[@juny1982]

@@SamCarLegion we'll you look for HP almost there and torque specs. But M it's to much pressure for Dogde LoL 😸😆🤣

[@SamCarLegion]

The one against the m340i is the 392 - it’s not just about power, cost, weight etc

[@juny1982]

Keep good job man , my salutes from Caribbean island, Puerto Rico.

[@SamCarLegion]

Thank you :)

[@throttletribevn]

"I am killing him", as the dodge comes back lmao

[@petermucci6784]

You didnt run sport plus mode??

[@martintintin7729]

Lovely race sam! I loved it, Sam quick question. I was looking at your clothing and only found stinger clothings. Will you consider making some clothing with the VW GLI and HONDA accord and your branding on it? I would love to buy that. The HONDA and VW brought a lot of attention from ur first race so I think a lot of people will buy it!

[@SamCarLegion]

I am hiring someone to help me design some merch

[@chrispewkreme]

And you didn’t even use launch control. The BMW gets noticeably quicker when you launch it. It just snaps off the line and gets a lil sideways and squirrelly.

[@worldstarhiphoptapes2616]

Can you do F30 328i vs 330i?

[@michaelinman6472]

Really beginning to enjoy my decision...jb4 is next

[@yeetimusputimus1985]

Idk what happened in the first roll either comfort standard mode is completely slow in the dodge or his power cut for a second at random.

[@infosneakr]

Just curious, is the charger flooring it on sport mode or is he pedaling it?

[@oleglog6927]

Are you using factory launch control in bmw at the start?

[@argonovak3444]

Your videos are so well done, you cover everything :)

[@davienstrong]

With a flash tune, you’re smoking that charger

[@aqwbynfs175]

If you take off 450 lbs of that charger would it be able to take a m5?

[@ciabatta7538]

Absolutely not .
