It's a question with an exciting answer... can a souped-up BMW M3 really challenge a £400k Ferrari SF90?

We’ve got Mat lining up in a modified G80 M3 today. It’s powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbo straight-six which, from stock, puts out 510hp and 650Nm of torque. However, this one’s had £8k of mods and is now running 750hp and 900Nm! Will it be able to put that extra power down, though?

On paper, it doesn't look like a match for the Ferrari SF90. The Italian stallion is equipped not only with a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, but three electric motors too! Combined, they deliver 1,000hp and 800Nm. Weighing in at 1,580kg (mind, that’s a “dry” weight without fluids) it’s lighter than the BMW too, which tips the scales at 1,780kg.

Fortunately for us, drag races don't happen on paper. Which will take the win? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

    Whoever tuned that BMW did a good job.tht launch is insane...
  • @aus9624
    The bmw did times that can rival the 911 turbo s, it really impressed me. I remember Carwow did a race with a 1000 horsepower m5 and it did terribly compared to this m3 with “only” 750
  • @galaxy_x7773
    The launch from the BMW is impressive. Also 10.1 s is really good for only 8k upgrades. Good job from the tuner and it shows the big potential from the S58. Well done
  • @Samaster102Tibia
    Shows how insane that SF90 is. VERY VERY good tune on that BMW almost in the 9s 1/4 mile time
  • @Sakkie_N55
    For a family sedan/saloon hanging around with an SF90 in a drag…. Thats nuts!!🤯.
  • @roadreg1820
    That M3 is something else! You have to give credit to the M3 and Tom there. The way that thing launches is just epic!! Love the SF90 too. I would love to see this M3 vs a 911 Turbo S or something. Hopefully you guys will get it back on the channel.

    Remember, when people say good things about the one who lost makes you recognize how monstrous the winner is
  • @Wreckers.B48
    Congrats to the tuner who success tuned that M3. 700hp bmw able to done 1/4 mile in 10s was crazy
  • @duffydon1741
    Now, for the very first time i witness a BMW that has been PROPERLY TUNED, the people that worked on that car are above and beyond on another level of tuning a BMW, this is INSANE WORK OF ART!!
  • @riyadabrahams2278
    That M3 is extremely impressive!!! Very well done to the tuners 🤌🏽
  • Nice races. It is always a good surprise to discover a new tuned BMW. In addition the cost of the improvement is really fair. We don't get such tuners in France. We must try to find it in Germany. Very good performances for the tuned M3 .
  • @kylesharkey3762
    id love carwow to do a leaderboard for all the cars they drag, think it would add so much if we could see what the cars match up to.
  • @drew9312
    Excellent Beemer tune. Really fast. Love that Ferrari though. Rory’s a great side kick too- let’s see more of him.
  • @alexhodgkinson618
    That M3 off the line 👏👏👏 Like a prostreet dragster! Great job
  • @jeremyjk1
    That bmw did bloody well but that ferrari is just too quick! Very cool race! Very impressed with the power upgrades for the price on the bmw!
  • @mdabrarbappy2378
    The fact is that BMW can keep up with that sf90 at lunch for few seconds is shocking. Although the BMW is modified but still pretty impressive!
  • @ricatiman
    I've seen too many videos with tuned cars that fail to deliver. At least this M3 was reliable and potent. That made this a worthy test. More please, as long as the tuner specials can be relied upon to put on a good show.
