Do you have around £85,000 on your next car? Then look no further… We’ve brought together the BMW M3 Competition and the Porsche 911 Carrera to find out which car you should go for!
When it comes to performance, both of these cars easily offer more than enough! Starting with the BMW, it’s powered by a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six which can deliver 510hp & 650Nm of torque. It’s RWD, and BMW claims it can hit 60mph in just 3.9 seconds.
As for the 911, we’ve only got our hands on the entry-level version, but its 3-litre 6 cylinder twin-turbo can still deliver 385hp & 450Nm! Just like the BMW, it’s also RWD (obviously), and can hit 60mph in 4.2 seconds.
So, the BMW costs £87,000 (with options added, that is. The starting price is £75,000), while the Porsche starts at £83,000. The question is, if you could afford it, which would you go for? Let us know in the comments!

I think they are both sources of noise. The stereo wins.
Or other tyres than noisy ones

Can we all appreciate the BMWs colour” Isle of Man green “
It’s rare that I actually like green on a car, but this one is gorgeous. I think it also helps the new m3 and m4 with the whole front grill situation.
Inspired by the greenery of The Isle Of Man? It’s a lovely colour! 😍
@@nicolasbocchino3761 don’t like that grill at all. Just got a brand new 911s. Handles great but the info system requires a MS in computer science lol
@@joevazquez9405 don’t get me wrong the new grill of the m3 is hideous, but darker colors like this green help to diminish the perceived size of it. Compared to white for example, this green helps blend the black grill to the dark green.

@@gregmayled I was wrong. Yep, red kite
I have tried to like that front on the M3/M4. I really have. But I just cant. Side and rear design is awesome though.
It's a shame because it's a great car but the design is what's stopping people from buying it imagine if it looked as good as the predecessor it was be so desirable
When you see the regular kidney design, it looks boring and very similar to the older version. This is different and new.
I've gotten kind of used to it by now. But that doesn't mean that I think it looks good now, it's still hideous and ruins the car for me. Otherwise it would have been an absolute banger. So the M340i must be it.
@@ikhoonyejelem2967 I think the huuuuge price tag might have also something to do with it. The upcharge between generations is pretty big here, don't underestimate that.
But yeah, overall design except for the front is great but the latter is just undoable.
It's not that bad don't worry plenty of others will buy it lol
Love the Porsche's design but I'd buy the M3 if I had the money as it is just special that a practical 4 seater car has that good performance.
Thanks ~~~
The Porsche isn't about the design; it's about the drive. I rented an M3 once and couldn't wait to get back into my Porsche.
@@romanvice Problem is day to day you don't run them to the limit or anywhere close. This Porsche is so bland inside and equipment poor it is inexcusable. I'd take a higher level 911 over the M3 but I'd take this M3 every day over the base 911.
@@ngc-fo5te Porsche bland inside? It's so classy, good looking and well build, especially next to the M3 which looks like a 1-series inside with some carbon trim
@@jerzy3144 M3 interior is way way more technologically advanced and comes with standard daily features like radar cruise control and more lol. Porsche is a good dedicated track car, BMW is better for dailying/track cars. One package that does everything.

For the ‘entry level’ 911, it’s performance is extremely impressive.
Furries inferior, viruses superior.
911s are pretty capable in their base forms for quite some time now
But the sound and aesthetic leave alot to be desired.
Forget the entry level impressive, its can do a 3.8s 0-60 with RWD and 385HP! Wtf!
@@TheAlbaniaGaming It costs a ton of money tho. An Audi RS3 can do the same figures for much less money.
Damn it, I am addicted to your videos Mat. Thanks for the insanely hard work you put in everyday to come up with a new great video.
Great video as always - thanks for the content. Might have been better comparing M4 v 911 - as anyone needing the practicality of decent rear seats is probably more likely to buy the M3, or RS4 or Alfa. Unless they’re just play things and rear space doesn’t matter.

I am in the market for a new car and was looking at both these cars so great video. Already being a dad myself, I am leaning towards the M3 as this will be a daily driver. Just more economical when I need it to be but when I am alone, the fun can really start.
M3 absolute beast with practicality
Congratulations Mat!
"Quick, but not as quick as a 911" is becoming the motto of Carwow.
Quick, but not as quick as a Model 3 Performance is the new motto. ICE is oh so yesterday.
Not at all. 911 is very far from being the quickest in Carwow. A lot of cars destroyed them especially on rolling race.
The G80 M3 is way more fun, special, the fact that it's a literal *sedan* with so much insanity, power, handling, drift easy on 1/4 of throttle, awesome body lines, way *better* sound with a good setup, full RWD and 510HP+ *as standard,* not even with BMW perfomance parts, the fact that the S58 can take 1000HP on *stock* internal and *way better* value for money in every way. And it's a *///M* car, cheaper on the long run, keeping it's value much better than a regular spec 911. Stock it's already insane but even a simple S2+ ECU tune with all stock parts on the RWD car (not even the AWD version) would make it way faster than the 992 AWD Turbo S especially on rolling race. Imagine the AWD version for the M3. BMW all day long.
And it's coming from a Porsche fan.
@@bikinisforwahinis8111 nice bait lol
@@SonOfDrogo He's right tho. Tesla Model Plaid would destroy the 992 Turbo S in every freaking way.
CONGRATS MAT, all the best for you both.
I actually love the new BMW M3. I think I it looks like it means business and the presence on the road is phenomenal. Love it! 😍
11:26, you must wait for the boost to build and for the car to say "launch control active" before you lift off the brake Matt, C'mon!
Yup noticed that, on the speedometer it actually says building boost and after that, it says launch ready. Matt just brake boosted lol
so on mar 10 2021 he lauched the m4 and did 3.66 sec and 4 month later he forgot how to lauch the car weird
He actually hates BMW's watch the latest videos with BMW's you'll see
So basically, if you launch it properly the big 4 door saloon is faster than the small sportscar? Strange that Matt fails to launch the car as it should...
@@ignacevanbuggenhout6353 its beaten it before at 3.6, can't see why that one couldn't
1:15 Mat hit it right on the nail there! I don’t even live in the UK!
Just love the way Mat says Oh! Yeah.😂
When he hears the exhaust sound of popping BMW🔥👍
I cant say that I would like one over the other... they are just for completely different reasons (above awesomeness). If you need more practicality then the BMW will not disappoint (obvioustly) and if your a single person and like to just look good and have fun then the Porshe is the obvious choice! As always great review... I am learning a lot about cars and am getting a much better feeling for what my priorities would be in a car too (will be looking to buy something proper for myself in the near future!) :)
I like this "car vs car" format, good job (again) Carwow! Number 1 🧢🚫

Great review Matt!!!
The sounds of the BMW ooooohhhh man it's so good.
Porsche sounds like a diesel😂
You can always take of the soft limiter of the porsche and have even better
Compared to any car pre 2014 it's absolutely laughable.
A C63 from 2012 ridicules it, same as an E92 or c6 zr1 which are all cheaper.
I'm not much of a fan of the OPF downsized engines, even if the Performance numbers are nice they lack any form of driving pleasure.
I currently drive a C7 Z06 and its pretty much the last performance car im gonna have, nothing which came out the last few years compares to it in it's price range, except for a 100k KM r8 v10
Buy used and pre OPF cars, people. Show them that we don't like what they're doing to ICE cars
Plot twist: CARWOW buys your car with massive saving to them 😉😉😉😉😉
100% off for them
* gasp*
I'm sure they would want money to take my 09 audi a3 1.9tdi with 160k on it 🤣
Congratulations Matt!
First things first: Congrats Mat! Second: There are decent front facing seats that fit in the back of a 911 - with Isofix : Roemer Duo Plus. Can confirm they fit in a 991 and a 992. And get this - there are quite a few buggies that fit the frunk - even for my twins. No rear facing seats for the back though.
Congrats Mat! Happy for the family!!
Congrats Matt
20:25, when you become a dad and the fun car has to get retired :(
Carwow team and Mat... You guys completely make my day whether I'm happy or not I just watch you guys videos and I'm in over the moon. Glad to be here along the journey of motoring. Love you guys❤️
Just a pleasant car comparison. Love it
Comparing a sport car against a sedan is always going to be interesting. The fact the BMW can carry a small family and their luggage and still track is actually quite amazing. The Porsche, well it does what it is supposed to do. No surprise there.
'Track' is not a verb.
@@markfox1545 “I tracked my car yesterday.”
Yes it can be used as a verb.😇
Congrats on being a dad soon, Mat.
It was heartbraking seeing how you looked at the Porsche at the end😥
Congrats Matt!
the porsche does have an uncanny similarity to the sound of me vacuuming my floor
I do think that my stock Miata sounds better 😔
The Porsche looks cool.
Porsche has a rev stopper when sitting in park or with the brake on, that in order to stop useless engine revs and noise. Just deal with it, you get the noise when driving it.
@@ternavasso1963 no you don’t. The noise still sucks when driving
Sport exhaust sound not to bad...the BMW does sound better tough
Obviously the 911. Although I would rather a 993.
Would have answered the same
Would too but they are stupidly expensive
I would have the new gt3 or the carrera gts because they have manual transmission and n/a 6 flat
You would take an automatic with a sad engine note over good sounding bmw? I can see that you are not a true car guy
@@brock7405 Are we Gatekeeping car enthusiasm now?
I actually think both cars are stunning. The new M3/M4 have really grown on me, absolutely gorgeous cars I reckon
See, it comes with time people!
I agree totally. That M3 is amazing, and having driven one I can confirm it's f**king quick and scary! lol
Not very often I see a Pom wearing shorts 😂
So ya must be blind or something in order to accept this monstrosity...
It's an excellent car, but the styling is horrendously bad
@@lililiil244 it looks a lot better in person that it does on picture or video. It looks more aggressive especially. Give it time and a chance and it'll grow on you.
Congrats on the baby!
An interesting test would be to see if having 2 adults in the back helps the 0-60 launch in the M3. The extra weight there might help traction.
There's nothing 'entry level' about a base 911. Solid car 👍
It is Porsche lowest rated 911.
My neighbour: Hey mate you should change your vaccum cleaner it is too loud!
Me:* who just bought a 911 *😶
Buuuuurn!
Fool, blame the EU not porsche, i have a 997 and its a dream to listen to compared to fart box BMW M3s. Thank god for the gt3 with lower production numbers doesn't need to hit the regs.
@THEEVENDREN A/L N RAVINDERAN Moe how many times are you going to copy and paste that?🤔 we all know that ffs🤣😂
@@crimsonpirate1710 I know Porsche is not the one to be blamed but just wrote that for fun 🙃
I love your videos. Carwow is the best. Yesterday‘s video was the best one.
Yeah he gave his mum a car
Congratulations for the new comer!!!
I wasn’t sure about the new bmw grill at first but have come to like it once a front number plate has been mounted
The 911 is the king of acceleration and braking, even with 60 less horsepower.
The reason is in the position of the engine hanging from the rear axle.
Although it was a handicap in cornering behavior (today totally neutralized after 57 years of continuous evolution and improvement), in acceleration what Watson says: the rear axle with the weight of the engine has more grip, if to this you add the four drive wheels is a veritable missile on the way out. (Carrera 4S version)
The same happens when braking, with the weight of the engine the rear axle also has more grip for braking, and therefore it can mount larger brake discs than the competition without fear of locking.
Just how is Mat able to sleep?! There's a new video every day on this channel, its amazing!
Congrats mate
A powerful 3-series like the one shown, but with an electric roof would make a great base for a more humanely priced competitor to the California/Portofino. Would of course need (much) better looks to be a real alternative or even to come close to having the same sort of flavor. This one is definitely more "distinct" than pretty. :D
Odds are the m3/m4 will plummet hard in value. I bought a 2015 M4 for $72k, I looked at used 2014 carrera for 74k, I bought the m4. Traded the m4 in 2018 with 30k miles, the trade in value was around 40k. Right now, 2014 911s with 40k ish miles are fetching $60k
i like the look of m3 actually, it is something crazy
Me 2, i really like the new bmwz, i think the grill is nice to.
I don’t think it looks as good on the 4 series but Ive warmed up to it, the M3/M4 though I think looks legitimately good.
@@Mr13147 yeah it is growing on me also. It looks less weird with the licence plate

idk man i just can't handle the cuteness that Porsche has :)
15:50 that bird show to the manufacturer what is speed and agile handling!
😮: They needed the grill to be much larger so that they could have it closer to the radiator which was itself required to be pushed forward with the S58. The grill would have otherwise not allowed space/time to disperse and “hit” all areas of the radiators. They had three options. 1. Use a smaller (and less powerful) engine to move the radiator back, away from the grill bodywork. 2. Make the nose of the car jut out awkwardly far to give space between the grill bodywork and the radiator assembly. 3. Make the grill bigger.
They went with #3.
