    It’s time for an all-German 3-way drag race!
    Mat’s in the all-new BMW M2 ‘lite’, the M240i, and he’s facing off against an RS3 saloon and an AMG CLA 45 S!
    When you look at the stats on paper, you may think the M240i is the underdog. After all, with a 3-litre straight-six under the bonnet, it can put down 374hp & 500Nm. In comparison, the RS3 & AMG come equipped with a 2.5-litre turbo & a 2-litre turbo, which can put down 400hp & 421hp respectively!
    However, it’s not just about power output, right? All cars can put down 500Nm, but while the AMG has the most power, it’s also the heaviest, tipping the scales at 1,695kg! Could that prove the difference? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
    Mat's choice, revealed! bit.ly/Mats-Choice-1604

      As an RS3 owner - I was intrigued by the M240i but quickly discounted it as: 1. Similar price as RS3 here in Australia - so no price advantage. (The new M2 will definitely be more expensive). 2. The deficiency of the RS3 (noise can be remedied by an exhaust but the extra lard in the M240 - not easily removed.

      @@vollcare4076 totally agree, who else is making a car like the m240i? Shame they don’t make an m140i anymore, that was truly unique. RS3 still makes more peak power, but I have no doubt the m240i is making similar, or more likely
      More torque down low. The a35 engine is meh, the s3 has a very good motor, but nobody can deny the b58 is the best of the bunch.

    Objectively speaking, in the photo-finish of the rolling race, the Mercedes seems to appear to be ahead in the 2nd last frame.
    Due to the perspective of the BMW being closer to the camera, makes it seem like it's ahead in the last frame of the photo-finish.

      The BMW is unlikely to be properly run in yet, so should get a little quicker when it is. It's also significantly cheaper than the other two, being less than the base price of the Audi when fully optioned. And has a pukka inline six.

    This M240i gives you so much more value for so much less money, it's simply amazing. The performance of this car is actually mindblowing.
    Now imagine the upcoming M2. That beast will come right out of hell...

    I haven’t seen a worst driver than the driver in the Mercedes 🤦‍♂️. These races can’t be fair if the drivers have different skill level

    • @Nido805

      Skill level is a nice way to say it. I would say it is pure incompetence when u can’t put it in Race Mode, left foot on the break, right foot full throttle and then release the breaks. As a cla45s driver I am almost mad at this guy.

    You just know , the M2 is going to be something else , the B/S 58 is just the pinnacle at the moment.

    There is a M240i that's been rolling roaded at 402bhp apparently. As been said in previous comments, M2 will be awesome. I'd still have the RS3 even though I'm currently sat in a BMW M140I 🙃

      The BMW is rear-wheel biased, unlike the other two, so doesn't need a gimmick to drift. And without such a gimmick it clearly drifts better than the others that do.
