Drag Race: BMW 330i vs Mercedes-Benz C300 on KLIA Runway - AutoBuzz
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 09. 2021
- When it comes to the premium sedan space, it has always been BMW vs Mercedes-Benz - particularly The 3 vs The C. It's about time we put them head-to-head, and find out which is faster in terms of straight line speed. So, we lined up the top of the range but non-high performance G20 BMW 330i and W205 Mercedes-Benz C300, racing them down the arrow straight KLIA runway. Which camp are you in? Camp Munich, or Camp Stuttgart? Comment below!
CORRECTION: C300’s transmission is a 9G-Tronic auto, not a DCT. My bad!

As a 330i owner, this puts a smile on my face.
As a 335I xdrive owner, that car is very underrated as well. I just have an intake and dyno says I make 330 horsepower at least.
Proud, bought my wife a 330i. Race hers with my 528i f10 and lose by 2 cars. So this mean c300 is behind 528i. Lol
@@zenpendy the 335i is something else, especially 2013-2014, stock is insane. I put only a cold air intake and it’s so underrated, not to mention reliable.
Hell yea it does I gave a 2006 330i
go buy a m340i if you stupid 330i owners bought that car for performance.
The BMW’s engine is putting out more power at the crank than advertised for sure.
Theyve been doing this for a long time
Yeah typical bmw
Can't MB give more hp instead? LOL
so what you're saying is that bmw engines have more power than merc's. yes, that seems to be true. bmw is making better engines than mercedes. and that's cool.
I mean every manufacturer is doing that so why not
please do more of these drag races! great job!
Slow bmw
OVER V, No matter how good Mercedes C Class is, still loses to BMW 3 Series in terms of acceleration and also fuel consumption. BMW 3 Series and C300 have same top speed but acceleration for C300 is slower than BMW 3 Series. Fuel consumption for C300 is also not greater than BMW 3 Series. Reliability and spare parts for Mercedes is also not better than BMW.
dont have so much budget kot
wating for this very long time. tks alot
C'mon guys, make it fun. Switch cars and have a Round 2; we need to know for sure that's its the car, and not the driver 😝
Nice video keep it coming
Wow I didn’t know Wong Chow Chen was doing drag races now. Awesome. Subscribed.
I love merc, I really do. But if you offer me 3 series, I surely take it. Even if you know nothing about a car, you’ll still take it because of its look. Handsome.
I'll take it and exchange for a merc
Trust me the BMW are better after spending plenty of time with both a 330e and c 300e
😂 I just hit subscribe after that whole "I love winning, I love winning!"
Great video 👍👍💪😂
One correction to make, the 9-G tronic is NOT a DCT(Dual clutch) it is a torque converter like the ZF8hp.
Bmw never disappoint in their performance even on the comfort family car
true but i prefer Toyota
@@creatineenjoyer7345 lame
@@creatineenjoyer7345 as usual cab drivers do so !
Benz more reliable
@@muhamadrosly4058The current series all running good even have been tuned . No such a issue . If you want more comfort go merc . If you want more perf. and driving pleasure go bmw
Great video .. keep it coming.. problem is with these 2 cars specifically..your comparing a newer gen 3 series vs a C class that was about to end its gen.. you should compare this 3 with the current C class imo. 2022 vs 2022 we need an update!
The new C class still won’t likely prioritize speed
The previous gen 330 has the same engine and also 5.8 second 0-100
Note that the specifications mention that the Mercedes has a 9 speed Dual Clutch Transmission. This is wrong, it has a 9G Tronic automatic gearbox.
Yea they went back to triptonic and the super stout ZF transmissions.
The dual clutch transmissions have been having a lot of issues so they stopped using them. I’m assuming they’re working on perfecting it before bringing it back out.
They must’ve been losing a lot of money having to fix them under warranty or Maybe theyd break again after “fixing” it…….
*I’ma look up the details now
@@christopherclaure6689 not triptonic actually is a torque converter
The c300 is a 7 speed
@@Oooooowow nope, its a 9 speed automatic. Not a dual clutch and not 7 speed.
@@christopherclaure6689 Nope, Mercedes has always built their own gearboxes, except in very rare cases. The 5G/7G/9G gearboxes are all Mercedes automatics. In fact a few other manufacturers have bought Mercedes boxes.
Good job 👏 ❤
Should have done both test
Suggestions:
1) without launch control
2) with launch control
3) rolling race. - copy je carwow. Why not.
4) braking test
That's just how good the ZF is tbh. May be less aggressive than a DCT but it's brilliant.
@hon solo They are with the same hp dont talk bullshit. 205 whp BMW makes
@@henzo7087 speak English bozo
The c300 doesnt have the dct it has the regular 9g tronic

Awesome 🤩😍
Nice show I've been waiting for such race can we have the the BMW 330I vs the A300 sedan
Adrian Chia is back 👀👀 Was waiting for this
I love this!!!!
So happy that i chose the BMW car and just make a car tour on it too!! The best ever :))
c300 you have to use the paddle shifters and have it in sport + to get all the torque
Hahaha race of the year! im gonna get the 3 series next year! finger cross xx
Nice video guys, but you guys should also try doing a rolling start to 40kph and then start the drag race
Make compare betwin Nissan Almera vs Toyota Vios vs Honda City vs Proton Persona
And the mazda 2
Already did
Ofc myvi will win🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Buy used x50 for that price
@@thibannaidu3317 hahaha not even in the race oso win hahahah
I bought w205 (c class) not for speed but for comfort and safety
If with sports mode & launch control 😍
Great race, next time the race should be done twice such that drivers exchange cars and race again...
why is GC Mah's camera not as sharp? looks slightly out of focus too.
How did the C300 do so badly 7.74sec 0-100 compared to official stat 6.0 sec? I understand the 330i lost 1 second in time due to no usage of launch control, but why the C300 time end up like C200 when it got no launch control?
Yeah that’s very questionable 🤨 I’m driving a c200 I expected more from the c300
even if the c300 doesnt have launch control, you can do a simple launch by brake boosting. They didnt do that, so they got a slower time.
Its a fake show lmaoo asains are like indians
I guarantee they didn’t rest the transmission memory for the Mercedes. Also they BMW could’ve just used the launch control and the Mercedes could’ve just used the brake peddle and gas to boost the turbo would’ve been a way more accurate race.
No matter how good Mercedes C Class is even with or without boost mode, still loses to BMW 3 Series in terms of acceleration and also fuel consumption. BMW 3 Series and C300 have same top speed but acceleration for C300 is slower than BMW 3 Series. Fuel consumption for C300 is also not greater than BMW 3 Series. Reliability and spare parts for Mercedes is also not better than BMW.
If you read the c300 manual you will find section “for maximum acceleration” … find that it will change your launch. It explains that To engage the rapid rev matched dct shifts first turn tcs off and from the line in sport plus use max brake full gas (no more than 5 sec). The computer now is in launch mode and please do- launch. What this does is engage the dct transmission for high rpm rapid shift as well as take out turbo lag. I found that the transmission shifts much much faster when following the “max acceleration” guide in the cars manual. Perhaps this less known. At track it shaved .4 seconds off 0-60. This is also likely why we see a large range of reported 0-60 times in c300 testing ranging from 5.3 to 5.8 reported.
I guess you missed the part where both cars purposefully didn’t race with launch control, besides, launch control is stupid anyway, since when are you going to do launch control at a traffic light or whatever?
This race was raw power vs raw power
@@bighit20100 It’s really not about raw power though. The BMW’s transmission in sport mode automatically does that off the line- The power shifts. Which is why you see that pull on the shift. Both have fantastic trans but the Benz will not power shift unless you disable traction control and floor it.
I really like your Drag Race series.
Please do a Honda City RS Drag Race with latest Toyota vios and Nissan almera.
👍😄
Still waiting for video iriz vs ativa vs almera. When that video can be released?
22 September
I'm looking forward to more drag races after this 😍
Didn't expect that gap from equivalent model. No wonder the M340i almost catching a proper RS4 in the other drag race.
You firstly need to understand that this is a all new bmw 3 series vs an old Mercedes Class(and that RS4)
That RS4 competes with F80 M3... it even beats the M3 CS in a drag race.
The G20 3 series competes with the W206 Class(which is not released yet) and we don't know if Audi will release a new generation RS4/5 models because they didn't say anything about them.
@@kyliejenner2263 what's new about the 330i? Oh, it's facelifted. Probably...
Quattro AWD is good if not excellent. Too good, it allows understeer even quicker.
And probably I wouldn't wait for the new Merc to go on sale, because someone else in the new S-Class pulls up, that C-Class should have sell his/her car.
audis equivilant is always less, like the m3 competition is compared to the rs4, the m2 competition is compared to a rs3 and a audi s3 is compared to a m235i
@@oscar7476
No, BMW M2 direct rival is the Audi TTRS.... the S3 direct rival is the M135i( and A35 and Golf R)
Its impossible for a Hatchback to rival a Coupe. The New M140i will be the direct rival of the RS3(and A45s).
@@kyliejenner2263 the ttrs could
Possibly be a rival but the rs3 is the rival on most websites including carwow and they did a drag race with it against the m2 competition. Keep in mind that the rs3 is pretty fast so yea. Just watch the carwow videos and see which one they compare as rivals
Camp Stuttgart asks for a rematch between PHEV C300e / 350e against 330e and let’s see who gets the bragging rights :) Great content guys!
Lol , i am from Amsterdam and vs a c350e with my G20 330i i won the stoplight sprint. Let stand if we would go to the top… i hit 264 top speed so what you on about?? The c350e is to heavy
Good content like carwow..keep it up guys
please add the race from 40 km/h to 200 km/h, just like somebody who drive side by side and try to speeding with the ego from each car. BTW, nice video guys, please keep it up...
The zf gearbox is just brilliant at channelling power. Smooth & responsive. The best 8 spd at in the whole world.
Volkswagen DSG the best...
@@regizeelement8511 Agree. But this video is only about 3 Series vs C Class, not Arteon.
@@regizeelement8511 But anyway, ZF Gearbox is also reliable too. BMW have now under top 10 based on one of the reliability survey. And I also agree that Volkswagen DSG and reliability have improvements too though.
@@esk4105 I see that VW giving too much focus on EV and their technology on gearbox and engine seem to be not moving anywhere. It's 2021 yet still with 7 speed DSG. By right we should have already got 9 speed. Mercedes DCT has 8 speed. Since VW is the pioneer of DCT, hope they develop the tech and offer 10 speed DSG. It would be suitable for the Arteon to help with the fuel consumption in the highway.
@@regizeelement8511 dsg is crap in traffic. Zf 8spd at is great at any speed.
How about adding the Audi A4 2.0 Quattro to this mix. Seems like a lot of effort just for a silly drag race. Perhaps add some brake test to this too. Btw, how Ling was the run? 1/4 mile?
The 330i is a beast!
This drag race is just as fun as carwow drag races,just wondering why tf didn't I know this exist all this while.
1:55 Why the 9G-Tronic stated as DCT? Isn't it should be conventional torque converter like the ZF 8 speed?
You’re are right. It’s not a DCT.
Should do a drag race between a superbike vs a super car one day 😅
Next f80 m3 vs w215 c63 😂
Very comfortable race 🤣
Good video. But suggest to do an overtake test as well (which is more real world, as it tests kick down reaction and mid range torque). Or is that for another video?
As BMW owner this makes me really 😊
Do a drag race between BMW 330i and VW Arteon R line!!
330i is geli2 only and as fast as GTi. VW Arteon R should vs Bmw m340i. Bye bye VW...stand no chance.
the m340i will kick arteon’s ass la. diff level. the arteon r line is just slightly faster than 330i
@@user-ke1qj7up3e you are talking about R. Or R-line? R-line will surely dapao 330i but not 340i
@@Gmieguess R vs M4 xdrive = m4 wins. Arteon vs M340i xdrive = m340i win. GTi vs 330i = 330i win
@@user-ke1qj7up3e i know you are bmw fanboy. But lemme tell u this. Don't bother m4 or m3 vs R. R cannot. I repeat cannot even beat m340i. We are talking about 330i here. The price range of R-line alone is within 320i category only. For the fact it can smoke 330 what more a 320i is a bang for buck.
I couldn't find the C300 was using DCT coz all article stating it was using 9G-Tronic which is AT rather than DCT. Anyone has source on this C300 is DCT?
Sorry. It is indeed a 9G-Tronic and not a DCT.
@@autobuzzmy No worry
and whats even better is that the 330i is around 7k cheaper than the c300. all rounder and very value for money. BMW FTW!!
2:13 - isnt the Merc coming with 9G-Tronic instead of a DCT?
yup... All C-Classes use the 9G-Tronic except for C63, that uses MCT
@@brandonczw mine with the 7G-Tronic . Better acceleration as compared to later gen with 9G-Tronic is towards fuel efficiency
Silent moments for camp Stuttgarts
Should just do rolling race as well
BEH 27 should join this drag race. LOL
Would like to see a rematch with 45 mph and 65 mph roll starts
car wow??
Its kind of doesnt apple to apple isnt it? Since its g20 vs w205?
Should have done the race again, but see how much difference launch control makes
Can try 330i with the VW Arteon Rline??
Where is the Volvo S60 T8?
Intrigue to see the 330e vs the 350e :)
好期待 iriz的成绩 😆😂😂
Do more contents like this
I have the C300 from 2019. It does NOT have DCT gearbox, but 9G. DCT is only for MB entry models (A class etc.). C, E and S class all have 9G.
i own a BMW 330i and im very proud of it , good job BMW!!
in terms of reliability mercedes is way ahead of bmw it's no wonder bmw depreciate far more than merc but damn it has the power
@@mrjohnchicken1422 Check the JD Power rankings based on customer reports, BMW was ranked much more reliable than Mercedes and Audi, so no mate you’re wrong 😑
@@ardiniko1 but in Malaysia, you can check the 2nd hand value. The year 2017 BMW 320 had a price of around 110k, while merc c200 around rm155k.
@@wanshah4670 C180 200 250 are just a piece of S. C300 and above only speaks louder.
@@wanshah4670 That's because the F30 3 series is an older model. 2020 G20 320i is around 200k, the same as 2020 C200. Don't forget, the C200 averages over 10% more expensive than the 320i brand new. Also the 2022 W206 C-class does not look as pretty as the W205 while the G20 320i is a big upgrade over the F30. Less upgrade/pretty means the previous model will hold better value.
mind to ask is that worth to buy 2nd hand BMW 528i by 2015? give some comments thanks
It all depends on how well it was maintained by the previous owner. And me personally, I won't buy anything above 70k kms
Can you guys do 330i vs 330e?
A BM is made to Perform(lux is topped up),Merc is made for comfort(performance division is a top up)
Id still go for the merc
Can you guys make 800m drag?
Is that c300 amg line?
I Buy the 330i AWD love this car!😍
Would love to see lexus IS 500 perform among this
I had both the bmw blew and engine going 120 constantly on the highway.
Started to burn oil.
C300 Run at hight speed with out an issue
The horsepower is the same but not the weight and that is very important too.
Well. One is geared for performance with its better transmission and aerodynamics, the other is geared more for luxury hence why its interior looks better. BMW has better materials tho but looks boring
Nice video , add another germans like audi and vw for more spice
Everyone sees the cars then smile
Me seeing the Malaysian retired a380 made me smile
put arteon and audi a5 in the line up... would love to see the result..
Now do the g80 M3 competition vs the amg c63s
Now race a Kia Forte gt (dct) against them cuz it would have similar performance to the 330i unless the atmospheric temperature and/or air density is affecting their performance cuz that was rather slow especially for the c300.
Facts forte gt dct does low 6s 0-60
Hi Eu Jin, now I’m trying to afford myself a BMW, I want to afford myself this type of 330i BMW, how much is this 330i cost in Malaysia? It costs between $38000-47000 in USA
Should've include the s60
"lol german car" quote scotty kilmer,🤣
