It’s time for a three-way AWD drag race!
That’s right, Mat’s got his hands on the new four-wheel-drive BMW M3 Competition, and he’s going up against two other AWD cars, the Tesla Model 3 Performance & the Audi RS5!
Does the BMW have what it takes to take down the opposition? Well, let’s check out the stats… It’s powered by the same 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six as you’ll find in the RWD edition, and it’s got the same power output - 510hp & 650Nm. It’s a bit heavier, though, weighing in at 1,780kg.
Alongside Mat’s the Model 3 Performance, which is powered by a 75kWh battery pack & dual electric motors to deliver 460hp and 640Nm. It also tips the scales at 1,850kg. So sure, it’s a bit down on power, but will the ability to instantly put down the power help out?
Finally, we have the Audi RS5. It’s the least powerful car here, with its 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 putting out 450hp & 600Nm. But it’s also the lightest, weighing in at 1,740kg.
Will it be an easy one for the BMW? Or will electric win the day? There’s only one way to find out - LET’S RACE!

Matt, please race a base model 3 series, a base model c class and base model A4.
-
At first I was a hater of new M3, mostly because of its price. After a few thinking processes, I eventually understood why it is priced that high. Almost M5 performace, daily usability, superb build quality and tech loadability. It really is incredible package.
-
The model 3 performance was doing some serious drifting and for being the heaviest car it was also very impressive in braking
-
That sound of gearchanges in new M3 and M4 is brutal!
-
Awesome race love the M3
-
Juan gained all my respect when he drifted that Model 3 Performance like that
-
Been waiting to see you guys do the M3 Xdrive drag, wonderful!
-
I've been waiting so long for this race I'm deciding between these two cars right now
-
The S58 engine in the new M3/M4 is brutal, well done BMW
-
That M3 engine is a masterpiece. Punching way above its weight.
-
Juan was such a delight to watch with Matt. They make a great pair.
-
Excellent race and great cars, thanks for video
-
I think we need to appreciate just how fast 11.4 second quarter mile is. That is as fast as a Lamborghini murcielago lp640.
-
The current generation of BMW’s performance cars are just soooo bloody quick. More so than some of their power and torque outputs suggest is possible, as if they’re punching well above their weight. BMW M are really at the top of their performance game at the moment, even with EVs.
-
Now put them round a track. The BMW will piss all over the Tesla.
-
Mat you make my day,you are the greatest 👌 keep going like that
-
All nice cars, but a BMW sports saloon is always that bit more desirable. The M3 is a beast!
-
2 mins of silence for model 3 because no one is talking about Tesla in comments.
-
Bruh, I've honestly never skipped any part of your video. The first time I skipped the carwow ad, and you just said "you've probably skipped it". Sheeeeeeesh!!
