Truly one of the best matchups I’ve seen on your channel. I love all 3 of those vehicles, but that BMW and it’s ability to punch well about its weight is AMAZING
@@Andrew-qs5yo what ? Stage 2 with E20 is around 850hp on the S58, while the same tuning would be like around 500+hp for the B58, cmon dude i got the engine, and i know that the S58 is more tuneable, and on 93 it still has more potential as the B58. - The S58 Engine got build up from the B58.
It really does, I have that exact same one, and yeah the sound of performance is an understatement, especially the pops that would have everyone looking for cover, I live in the woods and it resonates tremendously.
Excellent run and matchup!! I actually have that exact same Alfa (but with yellow calibers lol!) although It does have its intermittent quirks that can be an annoyance at times, the performance and handling are supreme. I had a 2010 Nissan GT-R for 6 years and my Alfa SQ literally feels like that but in an SUV platform, it stays so well-planted in and out of corners that you forget you're not in a sports car, add that to the power, and sound and it's always a win win. Again thanks for such a great comparison video, this was one of the better-unbiased ones.
have you seen any other drag race involving a BMW, or some dyno runs? their power is usually 10% understated (minimum), hence everyone is wondering how they are so fast. There's no magic, the specs need to add up and for BMWs they don't. Especially with Competition models, it's been proven power is really understated.
As an X4M Comp owner This video did massage my ego slightly. However, I have pure green eye envy for the exhaust note of both the Maserati and Alpha🤨 they sound amazing 👌
I had a 21 x4m40i & that thing felt like a hellcat 😂 it’s ability to downshift and eagerly aggressively be ready to launch dowsed with small punches to the gas you can hear the turbo whine it was a treat. Oh yeah interior nice AF
Have a x3m....amazing, saw a q4 the other day, and it sounds amazing like a ferrari, i heard it accelerating a block or more away like a proper super car, but the interior and no hud like my car makes this car look like an antique, i never (but would like to) tried one. But my x3m is pure bliss on the highway, gls 63s could not keep up, or they were too nervous to go above 225km, either way, so far nothing has touched me....drive safely everyone.
The exhaust sound-off sounded like a couple of men and a little prepubescent boy. But the boy whooped. Even still, give me the Stelvio all day. Just gorgeous.
What drive mode were you in in the Alfa? My daily is a Misano Blue Stelvio Quadrifoglio and I love it to bits. Smiles per £ (here in UK) or $ in Canada is huge. The other 2 are considerably more expensive. Also, would you have run the 3 cars in manual shifting as well, as the 8 speed ZF box is very good in day to day driving but manually flipping those gorgeous large aluminium paddles is what it’s all about! Great video all the same 👍👍😎😎
@@precisionmotors yeah ofc also this channel did a race between the X3 and GLC 63s coupe but he didn’t have the car is 4WD sport, does that make a difference when drag racing?
Why do you guys struggle so bad with clean roll racing? Line up all cars and drive at a set speed. Lock the cars in the optimal gear in manual mode. Go on the radio 3, 2, 1, GO! Like it’s not that hard
For the second dragrace you asked bmw driver to NOT LAUNCH again because you are unable to launch that alfa (i would say you are unable to launch any awd car). In that second dragrace all the cars started from idle as would race a car my grand grand mother
@@Tireburner7 also it can be understood from the moment where in the drag race she accidentally turns on the windshield wipers because the + gear paddle is very close and she was up shifting
@@ForeignHawk easiest way to make them look bad and be able to complain about their inferiority. Especially since most people won’t realize it’s an unfair matchup and take the race at face value. It’s the Doug DeMuro affect
Fun fact: a stelvio QV with some different optionals (no sunroof, ceramic brakes and sparco seats) would have shaved around 90-100 lbs of weight and likely gained 0.1s on 0-60 mph and 1/4 mile :) p.s. throw in it the akrapovic exhaust, a factory OEM optional in europe, that is 14 lbs lighter than the standard exhaust and likely lighter than the ragazzoni exhaust also!
@@DMCarReviews dear DM, i possess 5 BMW an 5 Alfa, a Maserati etc. Alfa has unique heart ❤ that non one else car have. Also, sorry but you should study a bit more and learn that before than FCA Chrysler was Mercedes (Germany). So Alfa is not Chrysler.... sorry. Lol
@@drsalvatorescandura Do you, really...or you are just being another bot troll? Alfa is Chrysler (now at least), hence why so many materials are shared. I have driven Alfa's, and out of the premium segment, and they are underwhelming for this price in my opinion. BMW is in a whole different class in technology and performance wise. If you like Alfa so much, why do you have 5 BMW's? You are contradicting yourself.

the BMW and Alfa have a near identical 1/4 on paper. 11.66, 11.8, and the Masi is over 13.. so clearly it comes down to launch, driver, etc. Alfa has mod exhaust, who knows what tune was done after.
Some German TH-camrs have demonstrated that BMW engine actually has around 545 HP and more than 700 Nm of torque, but BMW continues to persist in declaring much lower values
There's something wrong. You probably didn't use the "race" mode on Stelvio (I don't know about Maserati Levante). But "Ze Perf" website, who compares car performances using different real measures from important car newspapers tests, says things with different results. Why do you say that Maserati is half american? It's not. You can say Chrysler and Jeep are half European, at least, not that Maserati is half american.
Alfa with upgraded exhaust if it isn't tuned gained already 15-20hp with exhaust, sounds great though. I love bmw, but in this case I'd choose Levante, have to say not in that awful yellow color 🤢
Need to do roll 2 again, the x4m accelerated way earlier, so was already at a higher speed when the Maser & Alfa started accelerating. No way it would have pulled that gap that quickly lol
alpha stelvio 510hp final speed 283km from 0-100 km 3.8 seconds weight 1905 kg bmw 510hp from 0-100 4.1 seconds weight about 100 kg more Could you explain to me how it is possible that BMW wins??
Did I heard right? The Maserati is half American.... What do yuo mean? Maserati is one of the most important ONLY ITALIAN brand in the world. Whitout that, great video.
Maserati is owned by Stellantis, and American conglomerate that owns other American vehicles like Dodge etc. If you jump into a Maserati you will see a lot of Dodge, Jeep Chrysler tech and buttons and more. It’s not fully Italian.
@@SamCarLegion I estimate a lot, your work, but was the Italian Fiat that bought Chrysler, dodge and jeep. In that period there is Stellantis, and for that reason, the group includes others european brands, but Maserati is part of Fca Italy, no, the other management Fca USA. At the management level Maserati is only ITALIAN, or European for Stellantis, but obsoluty not American. Isn't maserati like dodge, but is dodge, for example the new hornet, identical at the Alfa Romeo Tonale, in fact that hornet is built in Italy. In that way, I don't won't to devalue someone, is a great video, but the importance of Italy in the world, must be underline. Bye
@@DanieleMascioneC. I won’t take that away from the Italians but it you can’t deny it shares a lot with American cars. I have people jump in these cars and always question the switches and infotainment etc. Under the hood is pure Italian!
@@SamCarLegionSo, I don't want to underestimate America, but we have to speak Whit concrete details, not by hearsay among the people. And Whit that affirmation, I have finished, long life the cars, and good work.

It’s no beemer tho! //M ❤
I have the same stelvio qv love it man did a resonator delete I love it man only person that doesn't is my local pd its super loud but go alfa 😂🍀🍀
On Roll #1 the BMW shifted twice (2nd to 3rd to 4th) otherwise it was going to gap them like Roll #2. Listen carefully at 5:54 you hear it
that’s wat i was saying , i hurd it shift short each gear
It was also a 30 roll on 1 and 50 roll on 2, so yea..
@@jonspeed9570 yea correct but s58 is killing it out here now

This was a great set of races! Loved being a part of this! Some nail biting finishes in this one! 👏👏
I’ve been waiting on a drag race between the Levante and Stelvio. I still love the Italians
Maserati really does do exhaust tuning well.
Yes they do I have to give it to them.
I've said this a lot, but BMW just knows how to make their cars punch above their weight. I mean that X4M Competition just SHOT OFF when from a stop.

Bro that Maserati’s engines sounds so perfect
Alfa is 70k sounds nice, gets the attention and clearly keeps up with it lol
Did you select the “Race” on the Stelvio?
On papers the Stelvio is 0.2 seconds faster than the BMW
Very entertaining race, nice job gathering up those rare vehicles in one place for a shootout!
That early shift in the first roll hurt my soul 😂
BMW's fault, then the owner jumped crazy on the second roll! 2nd roll was even worse then the 1st.
This was an amazing draggg,, that Beamer is a beast it just floats ❤️🔥
The exhaust sound-off sounded like a couple of men and a little prepubescent boy. But the boy whooped.

Is Alfa with stock exhaust?
Damn this video is popping off! Thanks for the content as always Sam!!
BMW engine is twin turbo not twin power turbo (refers to single twin scroll turbo such as in x4 m40). Real M cars like this use two turbos

Bmw S58 inline six is hard to beat. It just spools up so quickly. Great Video Sam!
Guy in the BMW needs to stop shifting manually and let the computer do it...
Anoush is an arab or indian girl who is driving that BMW
Good catch, in one of the races when the camera is in the x4m you can clearly hear the bmw was short shifted atleast 3k below redline.
in the First Roll she forgot to put it in the Sport Mode. that's why she lost that Race. Also the reason she was short Shifting.
@@Tireburner7 also it can be understood from the moment where in the drag race she accidentally turns on the windshield wipers because the + gear paddle is very close and she was up shifting
The tolerance weight of the 3 vehicles has not been taken into account.
The Trofeo would have been a better and more interesting comparison than the mid-level Levante option.
Everytime I have seen someone race a Maserati they do that. The top trim of whatever else and the mid level Maserati

Great video!! Love going into a video not really having an idea who will win. Awesome racing guys!
Glad you enjoyed!
I believe the Bmw used short shift. I listen that the Maserati is half amercan, why?
There is nothing American in the Levante. All 100% Italian. Sometimes some TH-camrs don't actually know all the facts.
On the rolling race, the X4M missed a shift
On the Roll 2 the X4M jump started from behind though.
Friend: The BMW won.
Me: No Bardock won.
Friend: What?
Me: What?
Maserati is half American? How come? Alfa Romeo also belong to Fiat (FCA).

The BMW on the first roll shifted early. You can clearly hear it.
Stelvio😍
lets goooo!!!🔥🔥🔥 Sam, always coming in clutch with new sick ass videos💯💯💯TY Sam, for lining these whips up🤟
?
As usual BMW underating power delivery of their engines
The x4M comp has one of the best engines ever made.
German car have stock 15- 20 hp more
Why not the x5m or x3m
Maserati need Trofeo model: same engine but more power
Curiosity: the Levante Modena S with V8 is only for USAmarket
and it also has a launch control which the other Levants don't have, but the Stelvio and BMW do have. Would have been a differnet outcome
The BMW driver shift way too late, he must leave the automatic gearbox do it by itself
We didn’t do manual shifting?
Sam, thanks for this!!! Loved it ❤️❤️❤️ can’t wait to beat your m3 with my Shelby hahahahha see you soon mate
Any time!
