BMW M3 Touring v AMG E63 S Estate: DRAG RACE

It’s time for an estate showdown!
We’ve got our hands on the BMW M3 Touring, and it’s facing off against one of the most powerful estates ever - the Mercedes-AMG E63 S Estate!
So let’s see how the two compare. Starting with the BMW, it’s powered by a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six that can deliver 510hp and 650Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at 1,865kg. If you’re looking to buy one of these, it’ll set you back at least £88,000.
Then we have the AMG. It’s packing a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet, and this can produce 612hp and 850Nm. It rolls up equipped with a 9-speed automatic gearbox to send power to all four wheels, and it’s the heavier of the two cars, weighing in at 1,940kg. Back when this was released in 2019, it would cost you around £110,000.
So could the newer BMW snatch it, even with less power?! There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

I’m not sure about that
Ok 👌

How old are yo mat
I will be back soon! Miss drag racing and reading all your comments. My back is now ok so I’m ready to return! 💨
Hey Yianni!
Can't wait for the return Yianni!💪🔥
Take care Yianni, we miss you and want to see you back.
We miss you, Yianni. Racing driver Sam is solid,, but you are a beast. No idea what's under the bonnet, but still the fastest (well sometimes)
We miss you yanni can’t wait to see you soon
OG's remember when the E63 came out and carwow was still relatively new and it was one of the quickest cars
Fr bro😊
Yesss… I remember those days back in 2018 😢
@@meladgul😂😂😂ffs that was just weeks ago . 2018 😂😂I remember when subarus were potentially going to be traffic cop cars like it was yesterday. That was 99/2000
do you remember the time when the e63 was a desirable car? me neither
I remember when CarWow didn't do drag races...
Crazy to think the E63S is 5 years old, time flies.
More like 7+ years. This particular engine was not changed since 2017.
@@653477youre right dude 👍
"What's your excuse that time?! - I didn't jump." Oooh, that must have hurt.
Remember in 2017 when the E63 came out it was in almost all the carwow drag races.
I also remember the time it went to track..it was the ultimate estate on the track
i remember when the Tesla beat it
@@hassyg4083 I remember when your dad beat you :)
2017 E63 has 7bhp more than 2022 E63.
@@purwantiallan5089what really? How come?
also the “anticipated start” is why matt generally takes a lead. Run it on lights
100%. It's never fair for guest drivers bc of that (though some do truly suck😅)
They should use timing gear.
Exactly!
What is "Anticipated Starts" btw?
That’s when you let go off the brake pedal or step on the gas to make your car move before actually first visualising the “GO” procedure. This is usually done to eradicate as much a delay between a cars initial movement and drivers engagement of power off procedure. That delay obviously varies from car to car and that’s why the merc ended up winning the drag races because sam factored in the delay time by setting off just before “GO” hand signals.
Sam needs to become a permanent member on here, chemistry between Mat and Sam is magical!
He is lol, he works for Carwow
A set of lights needs to a permanent member on here. Mat jumps more than a frog on ching
My guy he has been in Car Wow since the very beginning 😂. He was almost always the third driver when Yianni and Matt raced. Nick and Rory are also OGs
You forgot about Yianni
Incredible how Sam managed to master the delay/start issue in juste 2 runs 👏👏👏
He's the real deal. No tricks all skillz
There's nothing not to love about practical, super-fast everyday estates. Absolute best of both worlds.
Same, always preferred to whatever suv thing the manufacturer is trying sell
I'd like to see if you say the same when you have to go to the gas station twice or three times more than a regular estate for the same amount of kms...
@@module79l28i mean if you can afford a 90k car, you dont care about spending 150-200 bucks more a month for petrol

@@possle wonder what the insurance is
The German car won!
Don’t spoil it.
😮
Mate, just ruined the surprise 😞
No way
To be honest, both are German.
Personally I think that shape Merc is one of the prettiest estates ever built .
nice showcase of how a good 4wd system works. At first it allows the rear to step out(helps with steering) a bit and when the front axle finally kicks in, it pulls ya straight again. Perfect
That E63s looks really classy with those silver wheels and chrome accents! Like the older E-class AMGs!
It’s better than the facelift isn’t it! It’s one of my favourite cars. Just a shame the one in the video was post OPF. They sound amazing with a bit of an exhaust job
Matt is a habitual jumper. Lights needed for sure!
huiopkl
😭😭
the jumping he did against that Chris bloke on the 1000bhp M3 vs M1000rr was outrageous. Honestly go watch that and watch the after-edit camera zoom trickery they had to pull in order to even air that. He basically jumped him in the rolling races by about an 8th mile. Its disgusting levels of jumping and he had the brass neck to sit in that car and act like he won. I went over to the Chris guys channel and watched their footage and on one race Mat is basically holding up three fingers on the countdown and flooring it on the three😂 One look at the comments on there and the bikers all telling them not to race Mat again unless its at a drag strip or lighted event.
Dragy on every car.
Please bring more races sooner. This one had us waiting for so long.
Day 5325 of asking CarWow to put a bloody start light so Mat doesn't jump the start for the 732523 time.
Its crazy how rs6 and e63 are now racing m3 instead of m5
Not a new one though
Wow I didn't even realize that lol it's supposed to be the c63 😂
@@emmakeuken7436 yes i know, but still, jts a 3 series.. imagine the m5

Jesus Matt - i've been dying to see this! Also the M3 Comp vs C63S Hybrid nonesense
Everyone wants that race
MB is not willing to let c63 hybrid-nonsense to be heavily tested, drag race maybe but any tracking when one will conclude it's an overweight cow is a no-no.
@@Don-pk2uy I think Mercedes is hiding that car lol
I'd like to see that and see the bmw win
the c63 would win bcoz of those massive horses, though it does not change the fact that c63 is a letdown for sure ):
Something is widely wrong with this race. The m3 touring has never gotten an 11.6 quarter mile. That is the slowest time ive ever seen. In the wet vs the rs6 on this channel the m3 touring beat the rs6 and posted an 11.4 IN THE WET... Doesnt add up.. looks like the toruqe converter was misfiring on the m3..
Your are the best and congratulations for the fair tests!!!!Great work for all of the team of CarWow!!!!!🤟🏻🤙🏻👍🏻

My dad has a 2018 e63 and it's honestly the best daily ever. Super practical with a MASSIVE boot. Comfy as hell but still corners beautifully and the suspension stiffens up nicely in sports + mode. And then obviously the power is brain melting. I want my own one day.

Hey Matt.! Great Videos by the way... When will you be racing one of Audi's ABT sports lines?

The merc is the class above. I know the 5 series don’t have an estate but that’s the car that sud be racing the merc. Just shows how good BMW has become. Best brand about for me.
Wait until you google “M5 wagon”
You think this is a win for bmw? This e class is a decade old😂 if i just paid 80k for a brand new M3 and i still get gapped by a 2016/7 E63s that pablo just bought off the lot for 50k with 70k miles i wouldnt call it a win.
G61 just came out. There will be a M5 Touring with the powertrain of the XM. Good luck beating that
@@MarlonAllen-dy9yv Just another bmw fan "giving credit" for a loss once again.

Matt Watson always nailed those jump starts like Pastor Maldonado.😅
@@xmx1520 yes
The whole point of the hands and count down is that the drivers are supposed to be able to time their start rather than react to it. It’s the best way to take the driver’s reaction time out of it and focus more on the car’s performance. I agree it’s still not perfect as Matt is very good at timing the start (so is Sam actually, as he explained here it’s the inherent Mercedes launch delay that was making his job more difficult here) so he often gets an advantage over other drivers, but that’s their fault, not his, and the solution isn’t to go to a more random lights system like F1 because that would become even more a test of driver reaction times and even less about the cars.
@@davidburke2132One driver having an advantage over another makes this report you wrote moot completely. Random light is better hence why F1 uses it to begin with you literally contradicted yourself.
Can we just appreciate Mats energy in these videos, keep it up👏
Great vid. As a E63s stage 2 tuned owner I just had to comment. Firstly it had to be in race ESP fully off & most importantly Manual mode to engage drift… secondly I have a saloon and 1/3 of tank of fuel mine actually weighed 2050kg and it’s decat so clawed some weight back there. So merc tell fibs on the weight always more than claim & BM tell fibs on the power and weight more power and lighter. Love that g80 it’s the only car id swap to from mine. Good vid
on an older dynojet machine BMW make about 3-5hp less than claimed. Its just the purple @Ki tuner garages have the dyno set to overread massively.
Still waiting for the gt63se vs m5 competition cs
🔥🔥🔥
Cant wait
That's actually the version of the previous E-Class I like the most (the front was better before the facelift...and way better than the new one imo). I still wonder: what if BMW made a "CS" version of that Touring 🤔
The Facelift M3s are getting 20HP bump. A special M3 Touring version will also be released after the M2 CS and M4 CS.
There actually is a M3 CS Touring coming soon.
@@richardlabejaM2 CS and M4 CS imo have around 500bhp.
@@matmul4850M3 CS touring i belive gonna handle as nimble as 1978 Firebird Trans Am.
Only mercs I like is the E class, it’s a blend of luxury family performance rolled in one. Perfect car that Mercedes made. I agree I don’t like them after this model.

The thumbnail looks awesome 🤩
You guys should put a red starting light so you prevent from doing a jump start and a person has to manually take the light out and then you go. Mat always anticiaptes the launch and usually does take a small jump start so these starts arent very fair always.
Matts expressions in the 3rd Drag race was soo funny 😂😂😂
I think the rolling races should be in the best suitable gear for the speed in each car, instead of the same gear due to different gearing
You should get a lightbar for starting drag races
Digging the Fugees reference. Well played Matt.
Roberta Flack...
Thats an interesting tactic, Matt Watson.😅
MET Thank you for the test drive and drag race, please ask that during the drag race you showed a time of 0-100 km/h
Matt, you have to get Rx glasses with Transitions XTRActive. Having to change between Rx glasses and Rx glasses is a chore and at this time of day where it's hard to decipher which one to switch to makes it worse. XTRActives tint even inside the car and I never find myself in any kind of light where there isn't the right amount of tint.

M3 is nice. But the E63 being better sounding, bigger (which is a major thing) and a nicer interior takes it for me.
Ye m3 comp is for short road trips. Mercedes is good for everything
the merc interior is shxt. toch things and they will feel cheap and creak, its just show and shine bs
Very tense race! Would love to see a race with the CLS 63 S in the future tho
Thanks
The Merc 11.4 on the quarter. Amazing for a car of that weight!
And it really can do better, it’s done 11.2 in carwow races before
@@heinman6250 I believe it. Great engine and car!
That pre-facelift E63 is gorgeous. I have to admit, when the W213 came out, I really didn't like it that much. Especially the rear end on the sedan was looking off to me. I liked the new rear end on the facelift sedan more but the front was ruined at the same time.
Always love the vs of direct rival.
To enable the E 63S drift mode: go to Race mode - manual mode - esc off - hold both paddle shifters - then engage drift mode. Miss one step and it will be "unavailable". That E63 has aftermarket 21s btw so the stock 20s would likely launch better
Stock 20’s not 21’s on it

Everything wagon from mercedes is pure beauty 😍
That Mercedes is the only one that, when they make a station wagon, it looks like a hearse, is tough as hell
Great drag race. If you could do this with more common cars like Octavia or Focus with ordinary engines, that would be great.
Side view of that MERC looks amazing
You should get 4 identical cars and see if there’s a big difference between any of them?

Love the G20 3-Series. I have an 330i and its a ver nice car. M3 would be a dream, but 330i is enough 😊
Why would you compare m3 to E63s instead of Rs4 or C63s ?
It is to show how the M3 can actually hold its own again the upper class segment... It certainly already destroys the Rs4 and C63

Man...this E63S looks stunning and luxurios at the same time.
Estate race with Audi avant and maybe the Cadillac Estate awd . Mostly because I love the Audi Avant 😊 and want to see how it stacks up the other Estates
This just shows how mental the M5/cs is, I mean the m3 is now ahead of its direct competitors it's not only playing with m5 direct competitors but it's holding its own in that segment as well. BMWs are dominating its a shame mercedes has done away with the v8 on most cars
Okay but this is a new m3 against an old e63. The new m3 has 4 wheel drive just like the old e63. Thats why a race against the old c63 against this m3 would work and I guess they can’t get their hand on a new hybrid c63 to race

Imagine having an rs6 or a e63 knowing that if you don’t have the bets launch your gonna lose to a car that’s a whole class below with 100hp less☠️
With 100 kg less weight...power to weight ratio will be close...it's not just about power the newer the sports car the newer the technology as well as the sport features used such as tires, traction, suspension and aerodynamics play the a big role...BMW should be faster because the 2015 c63s is faster than the v10 m5...
From a roll the Merc will beat the BMW every time....there's more under the bonnet with Mercedes...always has been. There's a reason Pagani and Aston Martin use Merc engines and not BMW or Audi.
Its not 100hp less, its common knowledge that BMW lies about their stats, a lot of dyno runs show those new M cars are actually putting out closer to 600hp
The M3 has more than 503hp, everyone knows that. Its also considerably smaller, so its lighter but can’t hold as much cargo
