BMW E46 M3 vs E36 M3 vs M2 Comp: DRAG RACE By carwow

Hi everyone Matt Watson here from car wow, so I've got a drag race for you, BMW fanboys, because I'm sat in an e46 m3 and next to me is an e36 m3 and next to that is an empty competition. Why you may ask because why not? Well, actually, the m2 is closer to these cars than the m4, so it just seems that it's right direct m2 against these old dears. So let me tell you a bit about this car. It's owned by a chat called Taylor, and if you want to follow him on Instagram, his account is TXL 14. It's on the screen, so this car has a 3.2 liter, naturally aspirated straight 6 engines, and it has 343 horsepower, but it does normally, but he's gone and fitted a k, n air filter to it for a better induction noise. So it's probably only got 340 horsepower.

Next, that's the way the cannon dollars sometimes work. Still. What's this big stupid cat air freshener, I tell you what I'm going to Decatur this car and give him his three horsepower back there we go. I don't need the cap get rid of that. Well, that may be a bit more stinky.

Now this car yeah it's a bit of a main joke, but I'm sure you get it talk wise you're, talking, 365 newton meters. It's got a six-speed manual, gearbox, obviously driving the rear wheels. This car actually weighs 1570 kilos, actually the heaviest car here value. Today this car is about 12 grand it's a 2005 vintage. I will take care of it yeah right anyway.

The e36 is actually owned by cameraman jack. If you want to follow him on Instagram, it's at jack underscore Scotland, with two d's, so that car has a three liter straight six next res pirated engine and normally puts out 286 horsepower, though he's fitted a down pipe new exhaust and being tweaked a bit, it's ecu, so he's doing about 300 horsepower. It's also got a roll, caging and stripped it out, and I think it's a bit lighter than stand. It's about 1400 kilos, so quite a bit lighter than this e46, and he's got some semi-slick tires, and he wants to win so much he's so desperate to win. Furthermore, it's got a five-speed manual, gearbox old car.

Furthermore, it's an emergency from 1994. That thing cost him nine thousand pounds talk-wise. It's only got 320 newton meters, the m2 competition way ahead in terms of power. It's three-liter straight six, turbo engine. In fact, it's got twin, turbos puts out 410 horsepower, and it has 550 newton meters of torque.

It's a six-speed manual that one so at least it's fair in terms of launching having to do it with the stick shifter. Now that car weighs about 1550 kilos. So it's lighter than this by a smudge, though the chappies in it is Joe Achilles, and he's a bit heavier than me. So it probably evens things out: hey Joe, how you're doing uh yeah, I'm definitely heavier than you for sure check. This out got a t-shirt ah period of the fuel.

We've got to do the obvious sound check, I'm going to go first. With this, let's say the e36. With its aftermarket exhaust, there was a lot of smoke coming out. The back of that is that normal yeah normal you put as much oil in that car. As you do fuel uh, it's normal just move on anyway.

Let's have a listen to the m2. I tell you what I think they all sounded pretty blooming good, but why don't you decide? Let's get on with the drag race. Now you've been waiting long enough long time, since I've drag raced a manual car. This would be embarrassing. I haven't even launched this car yet, and I've driven it before it's my first time driving it there's a gear come on guys.

No we've got to go again. I went into fifth into the third, oh yes, here we go, and I got the third gear that time yeah baby Jack's bailed, empty, okay, pass at some point. I didn't care about that. Furthermore, I just wanted to beat jack. No, you never did it.

I'm not a big fan of BMW's manuals. I just they're a little vague, and you own that car you should be used to it. Furthermore, I mean I've got an excuse, I'm not too sure it might be something to do with the fact. My gear knob seems to come off all in the comments box. Now jack can't drive either at least Joe can change gears properly? Can't you joe oh yeah, so far so good? I don't want to jinx myself, though this is where you put in reverse right: let's have another go third time lucky.

Yes, oh we managed to use gears. Probably this time just bugging me. I can't believe how much the e36 was dropped. You did it properly this time. Didn't you? I was just very careful.

Well done. I was surprised by that. I actually thought it was going to be closer between us. This launch is brilliant. It's dead easy to launch.

Even I can do it. Yeah, mine spins a little I'll argue with that m2. Oh, my god, turbo power. Anyone who knows about m cars having turbos, you see the result of the turbos. They just give you so much more performance.

Don't they yeah mate off the line, it's quite hard to manage, because you can hear the boost coming in you're like where should I drop the clutch and you either get loads of wheel spin or it bogs down a bit but once you're into second gear? I just reel you in so quickly. It's a fast car this it is. It surprises me, and it's mine, I'm driving somebody else's car, but I quite like it. I wouldn't mind one. I think the engine is an absolute peach in this thing.

Furthermore, I think it's better than the engine in yours, jack, I'm afraid, mine's louder. That's where some of your performance has gone. It's going to make noise, that's the problem. So then what exactly happened? Well, the m2 competition did the standing quarter mar in 12.6 seconds the e46 m3 took 13.1 seconds and the older e36 m3 crossed the line in 13.8 seconds. Now we have a rolling race from 50 miles an hour in third gear.

I'm going to count it in three. Two one go: oh it's close now. I've got all the rest to play with god that mp2 was gone. Oh, this is good. This is good.

I'm enjoying this I've got so many revs in this car. I think you've got red lines at 8, 000 rpm. What you got jack easily seven and a half. How about you, Joe yeah, I'm about seven and a half as well, but it likes to shift about seven there's nothing above seven. This picked up immediately throttle response on.

This is a dream, but then your turbo power just gives you all that talk, and you're just like off. You went absolutely mate. All that talk, it's a bit like an engine version of Matt Watson. Finally, we're going to have a break test from 70 miles an hour when we hit the line full emergency start. That e36 has an advantage now, because it's lighter also it's got upgraded brakes.

It's got the brakes off of Porsche 911 996, which is the color I own. Actually, here we go everything well done Joe. Your car is the best. It's also the most expensive and the newest buy some margin. It's a bit of a shallow victory, but lovely hearing your two cars really nice, especially off the line.

That's all I can hear pretty much yeah and this thing from the inside that canon air felt it does. Let you really hear that induction sound, and it's such a sweet noise. I prefer the engine in this car than the 3.4 flat 6 in my 996. I quite like one of these actually should I get one.
