It's a question with an exciting answer... can a souped-up BMW M3 really challenge a £400k Ferrari SF90?
We’ve got Mat lining up in a modified G80 M3 today. It’s powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbo straight-six which, from stock, puts out 510hp and 650Nm of torque. However, this one’s had £8k of mods and is now running 750hp and 900Nm! Will it be able to put that extra power down, though?
On paper, it doesn't look like a match for the Ferrari SF90. The Italian stallion is equipped not only with a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, but three electric motors too! Combined, they deliver 1,000hp and 800Nm. Weighing in at 1,580kg (mind, that’s a “dry” weight without fluids) it’s lighter than the BMW too, which tips the scales at 1,780kg.
Fortunately for us, drag races don't happen on paper. Which will take the win? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Whoever tuned that BMW did a good job.tht launch is insane...
Tom wrigley mate 😂
that bmw is going to visit that tune shop quite often...
@@danielhogg8305 that launch is crazy man
@@elwingy next time must come with a 1000hp lol
Very well tuned bmw, must admit.
The bmw did times that can rival the 911 turbo s, it really impressed me. I remember Carwow did a race with a 1000 horsepower m5 and it did terribly compared to this m3 with “only” 750
becuz the m5 had too much power, which was too much for the "semi-slicks"
@@dogwithkatana485 semi slicks should be able to handle most of that power, the bigger issue is launch controls. You can see how much the car jumps from the Porsche's perspective when it switches gears. It just can't handle that much power.
Plus the m3 in this video is all wheel drive
tell me you know nothing about grip without actually telling me you know nothing. HUGE difference in 750hp awd and 1000+ awd.
It would of definitely beat Porsche 911 turbo s
The launch from the BMW is impressive. Also 10.1 s is really good for only 8k upgrades. Good job from the tuner and it shows the big potential from the S58. Well done
@@MrTapsa. yeah drive that electric shit with 0 emotions🤡

Shows how insane that SF90 is. VERY VERY good tune on that BMW almost in the 9s 1/4 mile time
10.1 from that BMW is still an insane time!
Upgrade the turbos you’ll get 8.9 - 9.1 car
It would of definitely beat Porsche 911 turbo s tho
@@porschebmwchevy654 do you know what 9.0 9.1 means bro? only rimac nevera can do that type numbers

@@asapmert4120 welcome to tuning world bro. Here your factory numbers are just a starting point.
For a family sedan/saloon hanging around with an SF90 in a drag…. Thats nuts!!🤯.
To be frank, any car tuned with enough power can beat non-tuned supercars.
And it’s not stock, what kind of… r u trying to say??
Lmao what’s so crazy about that? bunch of AMGs and RS can do the same. The Tesla plaid is even quicker lol

That M3 is something else! You have to give credit to the M3 and Tom there. The way that thing launches is just epic!! Love the SF90 too. I would love to see this M3 vs a 911 Turbo S or something. Hopefully you guys will get it back on the channel.
That M3 is extremely impressive!!! Very well done to the tuners 🤌🏽
Now, for the very first time i witness a BMW that has been PROPERLY TUNED, the people that worked on that car are above and beyond on another level of tuning a BMW, this is INSANE WORK OF ART!!
Coco Hayashi also loves this BMW M3.
And the most insane thing is that it's a light tune ! All stock parts !

The fact is that BMW can keep up with that sf90 at lunch for few seconds is shocking. Although the BMW is modified but still pretty impressive!
grip .
@@MANsculinityfor me this is easily shocking indeed.
i was shocked and only for 8k mods so cheap
BMW hasn't had breakfast, that's probably why
@@MANsculinity is a 2.2 second 0-60 not impressive?
That bmw did bloody well but that ferrari is just too quick! Very cool race! Very impressed with the power upgrades for the price on the bmw!
Porsche 550 Spyder to BMW M3: Hitori dake nante erabenai yo!
@@purwantiallan5089what ?
The paddle shift clicks on the M3 is quite satisfying haha
Nice races. It is always a good surprise to discover a new tuned BMW. In addition the cost of the improvement is really fair. We don't get such tuners in France. We must try to find it in Germany. Very good performances for the tuned M3 .
id love carwow to do a leaderboard for all the cars they drag, think it would add so much if we could see what the cars match up to.
@carwow !!!!
They do have one it’s not updated though
lucky i have one, the fastest are Mccurthy, Rimac, a tuned GTR and lambo, an f1 car and a motor bike

6:50 You’re telling me that SF90 was doing a wheelie at the line 🤯
Excellent Beemer tune. Really fast. Love that Ferrari though. Rory’s a great side kick too- let’s see more of him.
That M3 is insane - cost to power ratio vs what the Ferrari costs is just outstanding, all while being the perfect daily. Thanks for the video!
For the real world the Beemer is bloody awesome.
For the real world if you're filthy rich, the Ferrari is freaking awesomer
@@sillimilli3802 Not really, quality and interior is much better on the BMW (they own RR). And you get all the stuff of a high level sedan + confort + daily + better sound + more potential out of that engine. And it's way cheaper. But both awesome of course. A
For the real world, no Ferrari owner only owns one car.
@@RiasGremoryS54 The SF90 is so much sexier than the M3 though..
That M3 off the line 👏👏👏 Like a prostreet dragster! Great job
Respect to the Ferrari and BMW owners for letting the Carwow team use their beautiful cars. Wow! Big respect!
I think it’s a good idea to always include the exhaust sound from inside the cabin too. They’re always too loud for the mics to pickup, but whenever it switches to cabin noise you always get a clearer picture
W comment 👍🏿
Please race this M3 with a 911 Turbo S.. That would be really interesting.
I am all for it, but race Turbo S with just a tune. I really want to see how will end.
@@godlyname8544992 Turbo S ES800 package against the SF90. . Would be really interesting
Already done and the M3 destroyed the Turbo S
@@godlyname8544 Me too but the thing is that mods for mods, the S58 engine (BMW) have far greater potential than the 992 Turbo S. So the M3 would always end up winning.
@@RiasGremoryS54 992 s engines are capable of a lot of hp. 991s from ESMotors were pushing 1600+hp . Even Jamie's from OG gassed old 991.2 was pushing 1400hp. What superior capabilities u talking about? 🤣 But no denying it s a great bang for buck the s58
I've seen too many videos with tuned cars that fail to deliver. At least this M3 was reliable and potent. That made this a worthy test. More please, as long as the tuner specials can be relied upon to put on a good show.
that bimmer did an incredible job, well done tuners 👏
Matt was humbled here. But that M3 is absolutely brutal with the launch
Porsche 550 Spyder and Ferrari F40: Hello there.
90k vs 1m
@yvonq.9346 They go for about 900k on the spyder or 1million. The prices have been dropping lately however. You know nothing about these types of cars
So basically this M3 is a 9 second car with prepped surface and drag radials. 😳
I didn't expect the bmw to be so close! Good job on that M3
All made sense when I realized that's a G series M3 with X drive. Still hanging with an SF90 is no joke. Props to the Beamer tuner.
I love tuned cars but that SF90 is on a whole another level
Tuned cars are just increadible, youd think that an only 250hp increase in power would leave the BMW getting battered but tuned cars always seem to perform against all odd and pull out such unbelievable performances, they also sound amazing.
It's because of the aggressive nature of the torque, helps disguise the massive weight of that m3
@@johnjackson2349yep. The M3 weighed 1200kgs imo.
they also blow up sooner
@@hassyg4083 you gotta pay to play🤷
@@hassyg4083have yet to see these blow with all the power people have been throwing at them(unless they're just acting stupid with it then that's on them).
this is the first time iv seen anybody truly match Mat's start reactions
The launch on that BMW is INSANELY EPIC!!! THAT TUNER DID IT 10 OUT OF 10!!!! 😮
The way this channel has grown is ridiculous. Congrats guys! Ride that wave 🌊
Yes. Kanan Matsuura approved it.
Briliant race. Mid-range tuned BMW M car vs the flagship Ferrari Would love to see more of these types of races
Cuz im matt watson and ur watchin carwow😂😂😂😂 love the intro as always. Always a banger
Youve got to love that Ferrari, the BMW looks and performs nicely but something about the eco friendly hybrid ferrari that can just batter any supercar in a drag race really puts a smile on my face
I'm sure the sf90 is an amazing car but I just can't stand the way it looks
@@paulthomson9014 hideous
I love the look. Ferraris in general. I just think ferraris aren't reliable but who cares if you got that kind of money.
@hedonismbot3274 yeh I used to love ferraris but I don't know what it is about them now but there isn't one car in their whole line up I actually like nevermind want
eco-friendly lol, woke people at it again
The race starts at 4:27
Thnx mate
Thanks 🙏
Bloody thanks mate
Thanks a lot.
All hero's don't wear cape's
Props to Rory for the launch. One of the best launches from a secondary driver I've seen here, besides Yianni ofcourse.
For all those ppl wanting to compare the s with this m3, here in Australia you get 3 x m3 for the cost of 1 x 911s. G8 bang for buck & much more practical then a 911. Wait a year and you may get 4 m3 for 1 911s 🤩😱😂
Would have loved to have seen the 992 Turbo S in that race too, just for more perspective. The Ferrari, was always going to win that race, but by just how much, was the question. The M3s time of 10.1, is stunning, well done to Tom Wrigley, and it performed flawlessly, if what we saw was correct, unlike some tuned cars Car wow have covered. Maybe start to include the 100 - 200km/h times too, as these times seem to be featured a lot these days, with Dragy etc 🙂
Turbo S would be last..
Would be even more interesting to get an ES800 tuned 992 911 TurboS like Jamie's from OG Gassed ,so basically an exhaust and a tune slapped on it and race it against the SF90.
Carwow did this same M3 vs Turbo S race, so search for "M3 vs Turbo S" and you should see it. The video thumbnail of that video shows the M3 as being orange, but it is this same car.
Congrats to the tuner of that BMW, what a machine !
Luis Fonseca, the tuner of the BMW is god tiered there.
Props to that M3. Stock motor and I’m assuming stock turbos with just bolt ons and a tune. Thing flies. We all know the SF90 is fast as hell.
Put those M3 mods on the estate and you've got the best of everything in my opinion. Be some very shocked super car drivers when you leave them at the lights 😂😂
I would also like to see a tuned Porsche Turbo in this lineup. The one from Originally Gassed with 840 hp would be a great fit
I was thinking of this🤣💪🏻
Or the one with 900hp, but i think that turbo s with 900hp would smoke this m3 wnd maybe even sf90
@@tajpauko2184it will smoke it lol 😂😂
Stellar performance from M3 for the 8 grand ! Money well spent!!
10.1 on that surface is a 9.7 on a prepped track. As nasty as the Turbo S is on a prepped surface (10.1) this car being able to hit that time on a F'in runway is really impressive. SF90 is a 9.4 second car in great conditions.
The other thing to note is the Ferrari has 3 power plants in that SF90, 2 of which are immediately "on power" so its more impressive how the tuned BMW performed.
The Ferrari SF90 is such a beautiful car
Back of m3 is way much better
When carwow uploads a video , my day is made❤️
Well it's official. The M3 may not have beaten the Ferrari, but it definitely won the Most Expensive Upgrade for a Funny Race award
6:50 should we just appreciate Matt’s tv skill. That’s what we call 综艺感
As a bmw fan boy, please don't disappoint man😢😢😢
Brother it’s up against an sf90😂😂
@@jcm04exactly like lets not be delusional
Don't be disappointed. Bmw M5 competition can destroy any kind of Ferrari
Bro, even if this m3 logically lose, it was surprisingly good
I’m sorry, but you’ve got a Ferrari SF90 a few meters away
Being a legend as always matt 😅
Legend on jumping the start??
Man young tuners of today dont know how good they have it with so many OEM cars coming turbo from the factory. The amount you'd have to spend to get 150-200whp you'd get about 30hp on an N/A car back in the day.
When a BMW M3 is “moderately” tuned, and keeps up with a 911 Turbo S, you can tell it’s a damn good tune. There’s more to it than just adding power.
Sheshh another solid and quality content again Carwow 🥳✊🔥 Sf90 is doing it again waiting for porche 911 tune vs supercar💛

I'm addicted to your videos Bro..
Carwow have been doing this for years now. Just get the drag strip style lights to make the launches more fair and even
Yep.
I love that tuned cars are being brought up to race ❤
I hate it. Nobody can relate to such cars unless they have the same exact tuning. And they don't tell much about the base models because tuning made them different cars. Plus, they're generally fragile pieces of crap, exploding themselves after a few launches...
My gosh that Ferrari is a definition of a magnificent super car, stunning style from all sides. Forget about BMW m3, even Porsche 918 as a hyper car couldn't beat this car, I love Porsche but Ferrari performance and specially design is something else👌👌😍
Great vid!!
Stats: Rory unprepared > Yianni prepared 😊
That M3 and the 911 Turbo would be an awesome race. They run similar times.
Better Tuned Turbo S against the SF90
We need to see this race!
That ferraris profile/side on looks bloody stunning. It's the perfect shape for a sports car. Wouldnt having 1000hp evolve it to hypercar status?
Nowadays hypercars are way above 1000hp. I would say more like 1500+ hp. 1000 hp is now supercar territory.
@@arsh_07 I want to know how pagani sneaked into this league.
could have only if it would have priced hypercar price.
There's a certain level of cost, rarity, and exclusivity needed for hypercar status.
Carwow who have the finest cars around to test, you should give us all the facts we all wonder: 0-100kmh 0-200kmh 100-200kmh 0-201m 0-402m 0-60mph 60-130mph 1/8 miles 1/4 miles 😂🎉
I'd love to see you chuck in an ordinary family car to see what a normal car looks like Vs a super car to get a true scale of the speed. Something like a Ford Focus.

These days the only skills needed to go fast are the skills of the guy who writes the logic and code for the traction control system, and the knowledge and skill of the guys who design&buold the gearbox. Just floor it and hold on to the wheel. You don’t even need clutch control anymore, these computers on wheels almost drive themselves.
Great race mat
Two seater hybrid super car. The fact it is close is a testimony to the BMW engineers and tuners
Could be a fun addition to the videos if the slowest car is in the sportiest setting and the fastest one in the least sporty setting.
Everyone talking about how fast the BMW is, no one talking about the epic fart it ripped across the line on that first roll race 😂😂
This was my favourite race yet
That Ferrari is insane but that Bmw is impressive.
Yep. BMW M3 also reportedly has faster drag time than even 2023 NISSAN MOTUL Z GT500.
1st race looked like a dead heat, really impressive for the M3 to manage that. But once the Ferrari sorted out his launching woes, finishing only 3ths slower than the SF90 was really good.
