#Audi #BMW #AMG
In my opinion Audi looks best
.Audi gives less power to its whole product.....compare to his rivals
Take RS4 wtf
No, that's not how it works
But of an Audi Bias on my part, but I would say James doesn’t know how to really drive that s4, just gotta get better timing and that s4 has no problem keeping up with the Beamer, just gotta be able to compensate for the turbo lag
You’re welcome to try next time you see an m340i.
That BMW has 382 hp on the wheel, bmw always put down the actual hp on the paper
That 340 must have more crank hp than a E9x M3, please please do a drag race w it against one! (preferably a E90 sedan DCT)
I see BMW’s tradition of underrating the hell out of their turbo 6s that started w the N54 is still being well kept lol
The 340i destroys the m3 off the line
James you should race an older 3.0T Audi s4 , I heard that they are a little bit quicker than the new B9. It would be an interesting race new vs old.
You should do M430 with RS4
@Nikolas Mukwevho you don't understand it do you?
@Chris that's not fair
@Nikolas Mukwevho that's not how it works 😂 it's not BMWs problem that Audi underpower the S4. They're direct competitors. The RS4 competes with the M3, not the M340i.
@Chris 245kw and 285Kw can't be compared.. Some VW Polos don't have that 40Kw
@Nikolas Mukwevho s4 is the equal competition to M340i S4=M340i=C43 RS4=M3=C63.
Just:Sheer Driving Pleasure
Well I was going to get a merc when I trade my 330 in next month. I guess not
BWM WORLD BEST
You guys are hilarious! I’m getting that BMW this week btw. Good show!
Really love theat 3 series, really well done bavarian motor
Not again those amateurs presenters, questions. ....can wee see the dyno test. ...just to see the real power? ????
One thing to consider is that the S4 is likely heavier than the others due to the Quattro AWD. I didn’t see if the other cars were equipped in their AWD options. I bet the BMW still wins, just by a slightly lower margin.
They were all AWD.
Bmw is king👑🔥😈
James for the love of VAG!! Why didn’t you turn off the traction control off??!!!
I love watching these guys with the volume off!
Race starts @ 3:43
Carwow drag races are better. There is just to much talking and all here
Thanks for this kind of drag race I hope u guys do more drag races in the future u guys r pretty good thanks James and Thomas
What’s the price for c43 and m340i out the door ?
Bmw 💪🏻
Too bad the bmw is built in Mexico. That puts it in last place.
🤡
Glad I bought a M340i before I watched this
He didn't even launch the c43 that's sad! I have one and they fly when u "launch" it.. But when u just press the gas it will lag for a little till boost
DSG/S-tronic rules! Anyway all 3 models are good to own one!
If Jame would have bought rs4...
Audi 👍🤝🤝
"for me i would still take the c43" "I agree me too" there it is folks!!!!
ispast.info/losk/v-deo/faVnYIi63XrJi44.html
Oh my sweet sweet BMW 3 series.
Karston thou lol
Hahahahahah that reverse
Why BMW always can be win
Ahhahahahaha one mistake bmw has a real sound dude its not fakee
The m340i has launch control... Traction button once, Sport shifting, Brake and Gas to the floor. Dash will say launch control active. Then off brake and go.
I agree with Thomas, I would buy the C43. I think Karston didn’t do a good launch..💪🏽🚘😎
Wanted: Daily driver, year around, good enough to get to a ski hill in winter and rip long drives all summer. S5 Sportback: lift back convenience and cool shape, least performance of these 3 Or C43 wagon: it's a wagon, no laser lights, last year of this gen and think it's getting a 4 cylinder next gen Or M340i: it's the fastest, but least convenient shape, has that weird tachometer Going to nearly max one of these out in 2021 Any thoughts?
Hi guys, I want to purchase an entry level sport sedan and I want some comfort for my passengers. So I want to know if the c43 can get heated rear seats? Because I know the m340i does have that option! Thank you and keep up with the very good work
You guys are funny
If the Audi rs3 was in this it would have been a different story
🥱🥱
Exterior looks goes to Audi, performance goes to Bimmer and interior goes to Merc
M340i is a beast🔥
To me at least I thought the BMW also looked better on the outside and that interior spec made the other two look very...professional, if somewhat a bit tight in the collar.
Add a $700 tune to the s4 and its no competition. Considering the other 2 are more expensive.. s4 is the easy choice. Best interior, best awd system, and its the most reliable of the 3 (most unreliable brands). Lol
Audi audi audi audi 😍😍😍... We love audi
Fucking love James
Both you and James should do a garage tour
I drove the M340i for 3 days last week. It was a very pleasant ride to say the least.
your camera man was a stone every second you guys were commenting WOW
It was a computer race because you all are in automatic !
I've got the M340i....and its boss. Had a 435d before it and although i miss the economy of the 435d the m340i is a lot more fun to drive and feels more fast n furious
Exterior #1 C43 #2 M340i #3 S4 Interior #1 S4 #2 M340i #3 C43 Performance #1 M340i #2 C43 #3 S4
BMW 💪💪💪
🤣🤣🤣
Ok now race the Honda Accord 2.0T against them 😂💪
Lmao
That fact that it could actually somewhat keep up. I have heard that the 2021 Accord Sport can actually outrun the Audi on paper.
And that just shows what the M340i can do to them in a straight line. Now go hit some turns and really watch the Bmw shine. Audi is far too nose heavy and will forever understeer due to that engine being positioned so far in front of the shock towers.
Ihr könnt ja nicht mal richtig umgehen mit diesen Fahrzeugen.... 😅
S4 launch gets better when Traction control is completely off. The boost on switch to second and third is unbelievable
M340 the best on every aspect :)
Need more more Karston!!
Bimmer haz 400bhp
Excuses excuses excuses.
As always BMW the best.. 👍
2:07 “very very focus man” 😂😂😂
Isnt this finally how its supposed to be? BMW fastest, Audi a mix of Bmw and Benz and Benz is slowest but who cares its got a Benz interior.
BMW walks the Mercedes per usual
tbh the c43 quite disappointing
MB and Audi: now only you and me, let's race!!!
We all know no one likes Audi
Take it to half a mile and let's see clearer margins
When will idiots at VW try to push the engine atleast on the front axle or a tad bit behind it... If they could they could have placed the engine ahead of the front bumber as well....
Bimmer💪🏻😂
Bimmer has done it again.. Hey lets advertise wheel horsepower not brake horsepower and call it brake horsepower so we can seem fast... unbelievable.. but typical bimmer...
ok maybe bmw wins some drag race but audi has better 4x4 and comfort also it looks better and anyway audi does not bet on any sports car with its s models they bet on high quality but with a little more hp but bmw only thinks speed but is fuck me hurt to sit in their seats
Yawn
Unfairer Vergleich wo war der RS4 ?
these are supposed to be road cars and doing a rolling race while locked in second gear isn't gonna show how good the transmission and the engine is in a real life over taking situation, keep them at 60 kph on comfort or normal and then floor the throttle to see which car drops gears and picks up the fastest
How about a drag race between the M340i X drive vs. 2020 AMG CLA45?
I feel sorry for the Mercedes with it biturbo💀😂😂
Amazing cars, nice shots. Check our BMW M340i video as well. 🚀🚀🚀
really a tuning issue, all three look even. My c43 with sport exhaust will conquer all.
Hey guys, you DO know that we expect to see another drag race in REVERSE, right? : )
You almost can’t even compare these cars. The BMW is faster than the Audi and Mercedes but they do it at a $20000 expense
James is such a douche buying a front wheel drive car for this money.
It...it’s not.
The C class will also be resigned next year! let's see then ;)
Почему не RS4. Против М4 и АMG C..... S4 это совсем не сюда. Или заранее знали что RS4 порвёт всех.
Audi S4 saved my brother from a 100 mph crash... Mercedes AMG killed both of them
U know I had to watch this. 🤟🤟🤟. Looking forward to an M3 2021. I will miss my M340i, it's real fun to drive.
Awesome stuff! New subscriber here!
Wouldnt be caught in such an hideous car like the BMW....
Audi! Has my heart!.... Always...
They ain't even using all the power. It should be putting them in there seat
I prefer rolling races. They are more useful for daily driving.
why nobody talks about tyres?... jeez
BMW as always is the ultimate driving machine.
Get the 2020 c amg
James, Unitronic has just released an engine tune for the B9 S4... which produces 450hp at the crank on 93 octane! Would love to see a rematch with all cars with some form of a stage 1 ecu only upgrade.
15 matches, 38 goals! This Chelsea side are The Entertainers 🤩🍿
