BMW M3 Touring v BMW X5M: DRAG RACE
BMW fans, this one’s for you!
We’ve got Mat in the all-new BMW M3 Touring, and he’s facing off against the BMW X5M Competition!
So let’s see how the two compare. Starting with the M3 Touring, it’s powered by a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six that can deliver 510hp and 650Nm of torque. It powers all four wheels and tips the scales at 1,865kg.
Then we have the X5M. Powered by a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8, it’s up on power compared to the M3, and is able to put down 625hp and 750Nm of torque. It’s up on weight compared to the M3, too, coming in at 2,410kg.
So will the huge weight difference prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Me as photographer looking at the sky and imagining how good of a picture they could’ve done to the cars 🥲
The videography and production on this channel is so poor. Go pros and pixelated digitally zoomed images. 😅. Throttle House and Hagerty for example are so much more professional .
@@ahemgee9542 thats why i love them, they are trying not to be professional and take it to seriously. Its basically how mr beast doesnt do that much of a professional and take them selfs to seriously. Like its homey i guess? tbh this is why i love doug demuro to. It is not that professional with boring talks about the car that no one gives a f about. they go straight to the point like giving us a tour of the car and showing us things that ACTUAL people would like to see if they wanted to own a car. not everyone is about Hr Br pERfORMeNcE GO brrrrrrr.
I feel you bro 🥲
@@ahemgee9542 👍👍👍
@@gazirifad3194 i know how you feel bro.
I know Mat just bought a 911 GT3 RS but now Mat needs this M3 Touring to make the ultimate duo. That BMW has everything from practicality, looks and performance!
Looks? 🤡
the looks are amazinggggggg
@@24k__J he did bought the gt3rs tho...
@@gregmayled yea it looks amazing especially those big grills. everyone hates it but it looks so aggresive and I love it.
take out the looks and you’d be right
Mat: going over 130 mph Also Mat: look at the sky!
Mat its James, why u like to look at the sky?
It feels like 130kph only in those kind of stable cars
@@Eren-da-Jaeger and on a big open runway.
On a runway remember, driving in a straight line isn't hard.
That's what i was thinking
What's left to see? A drag race with ALL the current M cars (from the 2-series to the XM) You could even do brackets 😊
Like a drag race between Toyota MR2s?
Great suggestion 👌
No more M cars please! I’ve had enough of them now!
@@LavshBeatsTMlavishbeats only M power baby !! The M performance its all !!!
What about a drag with all the amg 55 S 55 amg C 55 amg E 55 amg Gl 55 amg Sl 55 amg Cl 55 amg Clk 55 amg Slk 55 amg
It’s shocking how Yianni loves cars but knows very little about them technically 😂
yeah, he only loves lambos 😂
I bet he knows all about “his” cars.
mans so rich he only drives cool rides and doesnt give a f*** about specs as it seems
@@musamutetwi1948 Setsuna Yuki also loves exotic supercars including Lambos.
Rich people... they don't care about their IQ, they just want to have some fun. Technical things are too complex and aren't attractive to them.
Mat may not be a professional racer, but, he has really gained a ton of experience over the years at drag racing and it shows more and more with each race.
Yup and at least Yanni doesn't flub it every single time like a lot of their guest drivers do, the two of them are the best for drag races.
He won’t shag you !
He does jump the start very often though. 🧐
There’s no skill in automatic cars haha you just put it in launch control and floor it and release the brake
@@DarkWildSaison always every single time.
One should check the break pressure applied by Yianni and Mat. Yianni treats the break pedal like a leg press.
We now need a race with all X5 M generations!
That would be awesome~
I believe the E70 variant would win
F85 X5 M is my favourite generation X5 M~~
@@nkosinathindlovu3059you have got to be delusional if you think the e70 would win
I was pulling for the BMW to win and lose here. I was successful on both counts!
Yes.
Lol
lmao
for me this X5M is one of the most underrated SUVs in the world
Sick suv

Looking like y'all might hit 8M subscribers today, congrats you've definitely earned it with maybe the most car content
Really love these sunset evening races. Please keep doing them!!
M3 touring has been busy big time. But I think it's wise to do a Dyno test to see how much hp the car actually has because that can't be 510hp.... Bimmer, all day everyday
M3 Touring has superb wheelbase imo.
More like 510 wheel horsepower.
Pretty much the numbers they advertised is the wheel hp but claim it as the crank hp. A lot of times when on the dyno, they make pretty much the same or close hp to the advertised “crank” hp but at the wheels.
Its got 545hp
Even at the stated 510bhp it has more bhp per ton than the X5M which is more important that absolute power in a drag race like this, especially when considering that absolute power rather than bhp per ton starts to give more advantages with respect to top speed but the X5M compromises that theoretical top end advantage through its inferior aerodynamics.
I miss those X6M races so much. Please make some more X6M race if you can！
X6M should try a drag race against Corvette C6 ZR1.
Eww, X6M probably responsible for the influx of coupe/SUV diseases right now
11.8 seconds is pretty crazy for an X5 if you remember that the original '08 Nissan GT-R had a similar 1/4 mile time.
Yes. So did the R33GT-R's drag time.
Drag racing times are mostly just dictated by power to weight ratio. So no, it's not really that crazy.
@@chrxx4327 yep. But I saw a funny video about tracktimes of a very short track. A g63 was slower than an old stock golf 3 vr6. Fast in a straightline but the track beast golf 3 vr6 demolished the bi-turbo Merc. Weight and hight do nothing good if you don't want to drive in a straight line. I don't need a comment of apples and bananas. Thanks.
@@chrxx4327 my point is that X5's have come a long way.
@@Nordlicht05 I think these sort of exercises are always fun though.
Hi Matt. Congratulations on your work. Even though I have an 80 hp opel astra, during the time I watch your videos, I feel like I am the one driving those nice cars you drive and that makes me very happy. Keep it up, a hug.
I'd like to see the top speeds at the end of the quarter mile for these cars that you drag race.
Essas disputas entre super carros da mesma empresa são fantásticas 👏👏👏
MAtt I appreciate your videos and effort they fun To watch and really exciting 💯💪🏽
Hey Matt, just a quick one have you thought of adding the power to weight ratio on the side by side comparison?
Mat needs to send this BMW to the Dyno .. There’s no way it makes 510 HP no way No Way.
Yep. More like 476bhp.
@@purwantiallan5089 Quality 😂
They look to be dyno’ing around 540bhp at the crank
@@stephenlongfield8492 545hp 700nm
So funny you guys together, definitely the best two at drag races etc. Estate car for me every time, who want to drive around in a brick, and be hated by most of the people.
Why would u be hated? Because you can't afford one?
@@TeacherToolkitDemo cos they are driven by twats maybe?
@@TeacherToolkitDemo i am gonna afford one of them.
Isn’t a wagon also a brick that’s been squashed? 😂
SUV fat wagon. Estate sexy wagon. Choose your dream girl. I’m going V60 Polestar circa 2015.5
Gracias por estos drag race, saludos desde, Córdoba Argentina
VAMOS.
So close to 8 million subs. Well done Mat and CarWow
Video sugestion: it would be cool to see how much better x5s got throu years maybe your team could do drag race with all the diferent x5s :)
i strongly believe that Yianny needs to be in all of matt's dragrace even if its from the side, their dynamic is waayyyy too awesome
His ignorance on cars is getting on my nerves!!
Mat thank you so much for this insane video!
Nice work bro
_"Which is the quickest over a standing Quarter mile."_ *Easy. Whichever car Mat is driving. The end!* 😄
I want a BMW M3 touring competition and ship it to the USA lol
Try ship it into Thailand.
@@purwantiallan5089 Why Thailand? This is serious question.
Both very nice motors love to see more dyno bhp tests on claimed bhp etc
They are actually living the best life. That sky and the cars gave me goosebumps 😊❤
I want both cars! They are the best in their class and just perfect
And just glorious despite its overly heavyweight.
@@purwantiallan5089 that's one thing I don't understand about modern cars. All over weight but extremely fast, amazing
Matt always jumps the start😂
Every single time actually man. 😂
day maker...love you carwow and yiani 🥰🥰
Matt the golden houre shooting looks amazing and the hand held video from the guy with the fold looks really cool
Always a good start to the morning when Carwow uploads.
Agree. Especially in the 1st day of Ramadhan 2023.
We need a dynotest on that BMW M3 Touring! Mat make it happen please!
What about dynotesting on Hilux or Gillet Vertigo?
any current-gen M3 will do, they are all the same power
Look at current BMW dyno graphs and you will see they have a flat torque curve almost up to the red line. That is how they pull so hard. Also the M3 is much lighter and not brick shaped like the X5M.
That Touring M3 is a damn missile, man! Wagons over SUV's anyday!!!
I appreciate a lot the stats of the cars on every video, even when there are only 2 cars
The Touring is Supercar level performance... It mind blowing because its just a family car 🤯🤯🤯
Yep. The M3 Touring has an acceleration rate on par with even M3 GTR.
@@purwantiallan5089 😳 BMW might aswell develop a GTR racing once-off special.. That would be amazing!
the truth no one wants to say… Yianni definitely launches better than the Stig. 👏👏
You and Yani together are the best! Keep up the great content Matt Cheers 🍻
You two make the best videos!
What I don't get is if they can put a 625hp engine to the X5, then why the cutting edge and super special XM only has 450ish hp engine. Sure, it's a bit more powerful with the hybrid stuff, but even more heavier. It's still a lot of power, but for a special M exclusive var I'd expect the best.
I think the new XM has like 700hp or something like that.
There will be a BMW XM Red Label coming soon. And I think its V8 gonna have more than 530Hp
@@zoomzoom3839XM red label will have 750 HP
@@zoomzoom3839 he says 450hp cos the electric motors in the xm put out 200hp for a combined 650hp
@@zoomzoom3839 XM imo has 746bhp.
I've noticed Yianni usually gets the slower vehicle, and this one's got the aerodynamics of a brick.
Yianni with the “Take a picture mate it’ll last longer” - just wow 😂
I’m just happy to see the X5MC back on the channel ‼️🔥
I really thought the X5M will catch up in the drag race but not not 😢
X5M has no chance to catch the M3 Touring.
Because of aerodynamics. Really unfortunate they never do the 1/2 mile from a stop
Ugh I wish we got the M3 touring in the USA. But apparently “no one would buy it”
We got it in Australia and I've never seen one but I've seen plenty of same m3 and m4
Love the brake tests
You're almost at 8 million subscribers, thanks for making video for us
Never ever let Yanni go from this channel, he's a gem 😆
Yianni at the beginning was hilarious. Even if he doesn't know much about cars, it's incredibly funny seeing him mess up so badly😂
Nice video Matt
Great video Matt, I'd have the M3. Please do a drag race between M3 Comp and C63s e performace.
South africa 🇿🇦 in the building ❤.
What building? I though this was on a runway...outside!
@1Tanker how was runway made? Wasn't it from building blocks of concrete and laying them down on the ground to create that runway? I think it was ... so to answer your question, a runway is a type of building or construction if you may, plus where's your sense of humor bro, that's just a phrase that people use to indicate their presence, it's not literal... come on man ... don't be weird, with your tiny emotional capacity.
Mat please buy me Golf R
All the way from South Africa, in rural area of Umtata small town in the province of Eastern Cape, just to be inside GTI will dream realized
Thanks Matt. I really enjoyed this race. I would love to see an X5M competition against GLE 63S.
Matt you should do the same car drag race but one car with 1 person in it so the driver but in the another u start with 2 people to going up to 5 and to make it extreme put suitcases inside the trunk because I want to see how the weight effects the performance
And thats why car is better then SUV. You will get better dynamics even with smaller engine and all that with better fuel economy as well. Add to it that most SUVs are smaller on the inside then regular cars while being bigger on the outside (except 7 seaters SUVs ofc) and I just dont get it while people buy oversized shoe boxes which are dangerous to its surroundings thanks to poor vieving angles and sheer mass of the SUVs.
Spot on
Modern SUVs are just unpractical minivans with down syndrome.
when will we see the new c63 against competitors
Great race guys!😸
4:00 Matt reaching down I'm sorry I died lol love ya Matt
These M cars have become almost too fast and crazy to enjoy them everyday. They’ve even become too fast for the roads here in the US.
Bro I’ve driven the E46 M3, even that one has too much power for a mountain road, can’t imagine how it’d be with one of the newer ones.
@@NomadJedi and the E46 is over 20 years old now, yet it’s still a fast car even by today’s standards, the new G80 M3s are just 500hp rocket ships. They do 0-60 in the low 3 seconds and if you open them up on public roads you’ll lose your license instantly.
You should do a drag race with all the M production cars! People would go crazy to see that race
Look'n like 8M subs by Sunday ! HELL yeah Brother !
Wow!! Look at the ethereal beauty of the sky!! Love it❤!!
So happy to see Yianni again in a drag race!
Weird🙄
About to hit 8 mil subs congrats car wow
Carwow drag races make days better. Good Job boys.
Car manufacturers should build more performance wagons. They are the perfect mix between impractical saloons and unsporty SUVs.
Nice review as always,but the main thing i want to know is,have you decide about your Porsche already mat ?what colour you wanna choose,that's the main point now .
I love Carwow videos nearly as much as I love my ad blocker. 😁
After owning those cars previously, I've learned leaving it in automatic mode while roll racing is alot quicker. Also the sky was beautiful.
Please include power to weight ratio
Mat, m5 competition or m5 vs m4 csl ?
can you make a gt 63se performance against m5cs
Love the stats breakdowns, but you guys really need to add power to weight ratio!
Great video Carwow!
No matter what brick cannot outrun the arrow, physics.
Wow race🔥
THAT IS IT MA FRIEND?? 8:40 Does that has a reference? 😂😂
Well the m3 is the benchmark again but I wonder if it can take on its big brother the m5 competition not the m5cs but it would be nice to see this duo and also I think the alfa needs to come back for a rematch cos this beamer is wicked
The scenery looks nice in this race
love this duo
I think sunset drags should be this channel's new thing 🔥
would be interesting to test each of the manufacturer's cars side by side (with a set limiter speed: (let's say 50)), and see which car is slightly behind or ahead Since not all manufacturer makes their speedo accurately true
What about Toyota MR2 vs Gillet Vertigo?
Ya, these tests are far from perfect. More about entertainment than truly comparing performance. Need "specialist timing gear" to really test.
Would like to see a race between a X3M, Macan GTS, the Audi and Mercedes versions. Mid size performance suv.
We did it guys our suggestion to put the specs side by side worked!
👍
Once I saw the Head looking down on its phone in the X5M Right in the beginning I knew Yanni would be in it 😂 0:05
When both are together in a video I Love it you guys make me laugh 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥲🤣😂🥹🤣😂🤣🤣💯👍🏽👌🏽💯👏🏽👏🏽💯
Mat is getting realy good at launching different cars👍👍
4:04 Yianni looks like a dad being shown how to do something on a PC. Just needs some glasses😂❤
Agree. 😂
X5M For Me. Truly want the Previous F Chassis, had a E70 X5M so the new G will be a Reaching Goalie Listing. Nice Race Yanni & Matt Thank U For The Content I Say "Keep Em Coming" O Yeah, Could We Get A Race w/ ALL Gens X5M/X6M would love to see em against a outsourced URUS Perf.
Almost at 8m subs Mat
Great race! Can you do M3 Competition vs X3M Competition?
I love when Yianni is on ❤️😀
Would it be interesting to see how much fuel the engines used in the course of the drag races?…V8 vs i6 and 0.4 sec difference but was the M3 also more frugal
The M3 Touring just looks so brutal while rolling, what a piece of art I swear.
