- Thanks to / dna_autohaus for helping to set up this race!
Here we go BMW fans, this one’s for you!
We’ve got our hands on the new BMW M3 Touring, and it’s going head-to-head against the incredible BMW M8! The question is, can the BMW M8 put its power down in some truly awful drag race conditions?
Before we find out, let’s check out the stats. We’ve got Mat in the M3 Touring, which is housing a 3-litre twin-turbo straight six under the bonnet that can put down 510hp and 650Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it’s relatively heavy, weighing in at 1,865kg. If you’re looking to pick one up, the price starts from £87,000.
Then alongside it, we have the BMW M8. Lift up the bonnet and you’ll find a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet, which is good for 625hp and 750Nm. So it’s up on power compared to the M3, but it’s also well up on weight, tipping the scales at 2,100kg! It’ll also leave a bigger dent in your bank balance, with the price starting from £142,000!
So what do you think - will it be a walkover for the more powerful M8? Or could the M3 snatch it? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

pretty amazing that the editors were able to get a 12s drag race into a 35s race.
I am hearing more and more people asking for the races to be 800 meters now.
seems to be the same people who worked on Fast and Furious movies...
Sort this Matt & Yian, and I'll become a Patreon:
1. Best out of three 60m sprints
2. Rolling 100m
3. Who can stop the quickest, cheese-rolling down Cooper's Hill. [Non-negotiable]
LOL! Made me stop watching at 4:59..
Have you ever watched a movie about WW2 and noticed the movie wasnt 6years long? Crazy times
You have to do this again with the M3 Touring Competition, the M8 Coupé, the M8 Convertible and the M8 Grand Coupé in dry conditions! It is way to interesting to see the real results of this Race!!
Is the fucking UK, is never dry there
Or just with the m8 coupe and m4 and m4csl and m3cs
Someone else needs to do it NOT in the uk because it’s rarely dry.
@@gullible119 nonsense
*JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*
That M8 is absurdly fast….i’d love to see this same test in the dry.
it got beaten by an m3, how is that absurdly fast?
@@Tony-oz7os the m8 is going straight to 4th gear, if that didn't happen the m3 would lose without a problem.
It's not absurdly fast, it has a V8 and 525hp, it should be faster but it isn't THAT FAST.
@@Tony-oz7osit’s convertible it’s 500 pounds heavier then the coupe what you expect
@@abderrahmanelbakkali190it’s a convertible
Matt responds faster to the starter, it is a big difference in reaction time too.
Well the other guy is a racing driver so I imagine he knows how to get the best out of the car
Mat jump started several times
in wet m3 touring competition is better than m8 competition.
@@MrStevieMcquadelmao. Only thing he is a professional at is sleeping on the drop. You go when hands start dropping and not when they are at down position.
We still need that foot race between Mat and Yianni. It will be worth waiting
He's having a surgery done
Yianni is disabled
can I vote for the "MAMIL-race"? Send Mat and Yianni down the track on roadbikes... with a bonus-point for the most eye-bleeding lycra-outfit 🤣
Their battle will be legendary!

If they wanted to could have easily put bookmark why are being oversmart
Your the best for the timestamps 🙏🏾
Surprisingly, a really entertaining race, good job guys!
100k for a M3 WTAF complete rip off
they just don't floor it to make win what kids love like rs6
@@manilove2pwndefinitely over priced from showroom 0 miles. You can pick one up on auto trader for 60-70 for a good spec now anyway
Sam is so competitive, it’s hilarious! Cheers mates great videos ALWAYS! In my opinion you two and Yanni are the best on CZcams. And maybe Alex (but he’s not a good drag racer lol) and Dani Pedrosa also. Thank you very much.
I get the same issue of the car short shifting into 4th in the wet, the best launch I have seen in the wet is putting tc back on, also Pzero delete
yooo love your content bro
Hilarious banter, excellent chemistry between the two of you. Super entertaining.. Thanks Matt and Sam! Appreciate the fun times and laughs!.
Just watched this epic race and I'm buzzing with ideas! How about a mega showdown featuring the M3 Touring Competition, M8 Coupé, M8 Convertible, and M8 Grand Coupé in perfect dry conditions? Also, let's spice it up with a twist - add a viewer's choice wildcard car into the mix. Maybe something classic or totally unexpected? And don't forget, we need that foot race between Mat and Yianni - let's see who's faster off the track too! Keep up the great work, your races are always a highlight of my day! 🏎💨🔥
Gearbox settings were actually different on the two cars chekc those 3 little bars
The m3 was on the most aggressive and performance oriented setup
And also it seems that the m8 had "efficient" setting for the engine during the drage races. 4:50 6:20
Gearbox settings was all wrong in the M8!!!!!!!
@@SamueleDiRusciowhy does it keep it in comfort and efficient mode when launch control is active? Thought it would default to the most aggressive settings whilst active.
I fucking knew it
This test is a complete flop
I tried in all settings and that was the best launch I could get out of it. When the car is too stiff the shift super aggressive it doesn’t help in the wet. That being said there was very little difference in all settings. In the dry it would have been different.
🚦Yeah we needed this race because consumers are really cross shopping between a estate wagon and a convertible 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol somewhere their is that guy 😂😂😂😂
Or logic is not necessarily has to be applied and just enjoy entertainment
@@user-el2zj3pw5rhe clearly is joking how about u sthu🤬
Not as much as the customers who decide between a racing motorbike and an Urus....😂😂😂
@@GMTron Or between Bugatti Chiron and F1 car:).
'Let's switch sides'. I love that part 🤣
And if they swap the drivers😂
Top tip from an F90 M5 owner: just start in manual mode, 2nd gear in 4WD, much better launches in the wet...
Best Car Wow video in ages. Love the combo. Cheers guys!!
M3 competition xdrive touring might be one of the most complete cars I've ever seen!
Only coz u fanboy of estate shape
Its all fun till Quattro shows up💀
Rs6 has that title of most complete
@@4_.ry4 what u talking about , xdrive off the line is no worse than Quattro
@@spookyreaper1702The RS6 is 30-40k more expensive too.
That drop of water in the M8 at 6:50 🤣
1 of The Best (and Honest/Prolike) Drag ever seen since a long Time.
Thx 2 all @ CW 4 the Excellent and ALWAYS Entertaining Videos
....I tip my 👒 2 U Guy's
Never Stop doing that 🤝🏼👍🏾
Hilarious banter, excellent chemistry between the two of you. Super entertaining.
I’m mat Watson…
And you are watching carwow
and i wish i had a cybertruck
No you’re not..
3:05 @@Madusith750
I'm wat matson
The M8.and the M5 it was related too are known to have temperamental launch control, even in the dry. The M3 on the other hand is epic off the line.
Nice Race Watson, very insightful as well. Enjoyed every bit of it as a BMW fanboy
Watching the first half of the video reminded me of playing video games with my little cousin. He always got the "better" stuff but in the end he lost due to lack of skill and had always some excuses 😂
Love your vids and to see how much fun you have!
103,000 pounds for a Bmw M3. Just woah. Prices are soaring now a days. Somone told me approximately 55 years ago they thought 35 cents a letre was a lot.
Have you seeing the M770i, or the XM price? IMO, those prices are ridiculous.
It’s still called an M3 but let’s be honest cars nowadays are so beyond their historic versions. This stuff was super car performance 30 years ago
They’re going to massively depreciate in next year or so. Used car market is crashing big time
Thanks Matt and Sam! Appreciate the fun times and laughs!👍
such nice guys this two!!! competitive, honest and funny
Pretty one of the best drag races I've ever watched, breathe taking!
Love the car keep it up!!!
I think that little bit of extra weight on the back of the M3 really helped with wet traction.
Hey mat , nice drags ❤ , i hope someday you make pov driving videos of these cars specially BMW M8 Gran coupe comp in black 😂
Great race guys!
There’s something about thats M3 Touring… 🙌🏼🔥
It's ugly and over priced. Get a RS4 Performance, save £20k and you also have a much better car. What I did.
@@mauricetoussaint7283why would anyone do that the m3 is faster and far better looking. U obviously have never seen a m3 with an adro kit and grille,CSL grille, or Vorstiener grille. I don't like wagons but I've seen some epic aftermarket kits with lowered suspension for the m3 touring. I think the new frozen colors from BMW look the best especially frozen black or white
Not to mention its interior is on another level the carbon fiber bucket seats and overall design looks more expensive then audi for this gen of BMWs. Theres a reason it cost more
@@mauricetoussaint7283Why it's much better?
@@vladislavdimitrov4646 Clearly he's an Audi fan boy
@@mauricetoussaint7283just say you're Audi fan boy
Love that spec on the M8
I love the side by side stats.. yahoooooooooo.. ❤❤❤
Lovvvved that “NO” Matt. I think I might crop it and send it to people. 😂 and Racing driver Sam did figure something out on that one.
Mat, please do a leaderboard of the fastest car on carwow.
There is 1 already just Google it
There is one, but on the website
I would like to see how the normal M5 goes compared to a M5 G Power🎉
Holy cow ... Them gears went wild!
One of the best videos of the year.....😅😅😅❤❤
First of all, Sam Mat becoming the best duo in car wow
Switching sides was spot on. Imagine how many race results would be different if they tried that in every race
Dry race would be different I'm sure
And
Mat you did jump the start
No way. Yianni is more entertaining
Would love to see a drag race between the M3 Touring, an M340i Touring and an Alpina B3 Touring to see how big a difference there is between them all.
You’re not gonna believe this
Good quality as always
Arguably the best car content on CZcams. Get it mat watson and Carwow!!
carwow never dissapoints❤❤
Unlike BMW fir the last 6-7 years - YEAH I SAID IT!
The weather is always disappointing in the UK, which is why I couldn't live there.
yeah it does look how much cybertruck bs content they put out
I still can't help but wonder how much better the coupe would do in the rain 😂
Great video, really loved the competitive energy from the other guy!!
That was fun. You should present all the times from each of the races. Really curious to know what was the M8 time when it won the first race after switching sides
The ‘Buy Sell CarWOW’ intro was so much better
No it wasn’t , it was cheesy as fuck
FR i miss it already😭
The m3 touring literally ate🚀🚀🚀🚀
Great video. From a fanboy. Next please do a race Of the M3 CS vs the M5 comp. And a GT drag race of the Aston DB12, M8 comp, Bentley continental GTC and may be a Mercedes AMG GT❤🎉
Loved loved loved the video 😂❤
Interesting how much of a price difference exists between such similar overall performance. The M3 is the sweet spot in expenditure for sure.
M8 Convertible is really meant to a weekend blast in my opinion. M8 coupe and gran coupe for actual racing considering they are faster than the M5 and have better launch control compared to the M5.
It’s harder to put the power down in the m8 . The m8 needs a driver mod
It's literally raining, what do you want it to do?@@Slime_threezus
They depreciate so quickly, you just need to wait a bit and build up repair money in the meantime.
@@Slime_threezussam is literally a racing driver 😂the problem was the car you could see it was short shifting
Matt`s reaction time is WAY better.
Loved this sir ❤
Have you noticed their's good banter between Sam and Mat? Makes watching these drag races entertaining. Mat and Yianni have good chemistry but so do Sam and Mat. That M8 really does the business, It's good how Sam get's out of that situation and his facial expressions are funny! 😅😅
4:07 👍
1/4 mile in dry conditions would be interessting
I actually quite liked the inclement weather races. Shows a side of the car that isn’t necessarily normally seen (online at least).
Throwing a Like for all the extra runs
I think the reason why the RS6 struggled against that M3 is because they didn't swap the sides of the road in that race!
It is what I thought
Nah Audi hold that solid L
Yah cause the RS6 known for having same time over the quarter mile, plus that specific RS6 wasn't making enough boost on the launch unlike the one Matt reviewed 2years ago (his own green RS6)@@MI-qx4lc
Would love to see this same race with an XDrive M8
All M8 come with Xdrive. There is no such thing called RWD M8, just like there isn't a thing called RWD M5 for the last gen.
@@jkliao6486 so what was going on with the one in this video?
@@alain-danieltankwa8007 Too much torque low down and hard to manage in wet condition?
@@jkliao6486 so 4wheel burn out? The very definition of XDrive means it should b able to handle that torque even in the snow. Besides, isn't it the same XDrive and gearbox in the M3 Touring?
@@alain-danieltankwa8007 Why don't you just google it then? It only takes you half a minute to open your browser and just search.
So funny, loved it 😂
Love these videos, wouldn't it be a good idea to incorporate rolling start drag races into these? They would solve the launch problems in those cars.
err, they always do. It's 12:30 in this video.
@@gripshaft Nope thats a rolling race, I meant a rolling start drag race. It is similar but usually they roll at around 10 or 15kmph to the start line then floor it
I much prefer the BMW M3 actually
i much prefer the Cybertruck
Thank you for these races . It is not easy to test powerful car with so much water but you did it . EXcept the price the M8 is beautiful.
That m3 is a beast 💀
I could only imagine what the G90 M5 touring would look like 😩
Horrible. It would look horrible
Way worse
4:57 the car is moon walking 😂😂😂
goosebumps every time i hear the iconic intro “im Mat Watson and your watching Carwow”🗣️💯🔥🔥🔥
Sam has some serious skills. PERIOD
Drive straight and brake requires serious skills
What a goof
@@user-el2zj3pw5r mate are you blind?, man won the drag with manual shifting..
We want more of Mat Vs Yiani Vs Sam ✨
It seemed that when Sam was in manual mode for shifting with the paddles, he was able to let it rev out just a little higher before each gear change. I’ve noticed this with my car: when it’s in auto gear-changing mode, it changes gears at 7000 rpm vs when I’m using my paddle-shifters, I am able to rev out my engine to 7500 rpm, gaining just a little more power before I’m forced to change gears. Horrible for your mounts and your transmission though if you do it too much. Make sure to check your oil levels as well.
“Switch Sides” 😂😂😂
😮I want to see this in the dry.
The M3 touring is really beautiful
Lol
Funniest thing ive read in Ages 😂
Sam actually had a point by switching sides
9:21 pure joy at this moment 😂
“Come on” sounded like Arnie 😂 8.49
This just shows that Sam knows his car and he is pretty vigilant of what might go wrong. I mean ... just wow.
id take the m8 anyday so i dont get a heart attack by looking at my. own car
One of my favorite races
love that duo
The m8 is one of the most beautiful coupe in the market 😍😍 what a car 🔥
Never mind we watching convertible
@user-el2zj3pw5r and it still looks much better than the m3, insane right?
1st
nope ur nit
i am
ur not even first and u got 4 likes
ur second bro
That was genuinely funny. Good show chaps.
Keep it coming with more races 👏🏻
Beautiful cars
I will forever be indebted to you you've changed my whole life continue to preach about your name for the world to hear you've saved me from a huge financial debt with just little investment, thanks so much Mrs Karen Warner.
Wow, amazing to see others trading with Mrs Karen , I am currently on my 5th trade with her and my portfolio has grown tremendously.
l also invest with Mrs Karen Warner, she charges a 20% commission on the profit made after each trading session, which is fair compared to the effort she put in to make huge profits.
Please any information on how i can get intouch with Mrs Karen Warner?
My first investment in Mrs Karen Warner gave me the confidence that led me to invest without fear of loss. I have already taken 3 of my friends to their guide and they are fine.
She is really great at what she does with amazing skills, she changed my 0.1BTC to 2.1BTC within two weeks of trading, I am now fully confident that she is reliable.
best battle ever!
The colour distortion of the M8 through the M3's tint is sick !
"I'm Mat Watson and you're watching car wow".I never get tired of that bit everytime 😂😂
Great how you show the speed now👌🏼
Finally a real race, I was getting sick and tired of the Cyber truck content
Watching from America, your accents make the videos so much more interesting 🤣”wait a minute, he was being rude?”
@10:49 totally jumped the start. the best way to do it is with a torch... when the light goes out, set off.
Yeah you even said later in the video, you've set off anticpating the hands falling down, that's not allowed in motorsports. Use a torch instead. It's totally fair then.
Loved to see some water drops coming inside the M8 while lauching xD, Nice waterproofness from BMW :P
Sam was actually switching his own gears I think as a 2nd alternative 🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is my best drag race. It had me screaming in the library 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭
Super drag race
Now thats a competition!!!
Good job racing driving sam
Love the colours.
