That mini Guy is a Proper Driver!! Hats off. He knows too well if he goes too aggressive with the launch, he will spin all over and loose on time. Thats why he has his own foot launch control, gentle revs then he hits the shifts soo well that 4 banger doesn’t loose any boot while shifting the gears. Proper driving that one. Thats how it should be done!!!! Hats off!!
needs a slightly better gear ratio, last two gears need to be touch longer. I could do with another two gears when I hit 6th and top out at about 145, if I had another gear I could easy get 160 etc...
This video demonstrates two facts. 1. Modern technology CAN overcome a power to weight disadvantage to some extent. 2. Older cars requiring proper driving are an awful lot more fun!
I think the M2 has gearing & the gearbox on its side as well tbh... That said, I'm surprised the gap was as small as it was 🤔 I'd expect the mini to be faster given it's specs on paper
@@gockartzz8272 e12 5 series actually has a smaller width/wheelbase and is only longer by 20cm... The current M5 is the size and weight of a semi-detached house 😂
Fantastic races, so close. These two are a perfect match also for my Smart Brabus, I would sit perfectly in the middle of these results with my 428 hp 543 Nm torque massively heavy 1900 kg 0-60 3.76 & 12.1 quarter mile. Absolutely loved this one.❤
Respect to the OG battles and why we support it,respect super great race what a build and gearbox sorted etc 👌 ❤ . Minis are getting rapid that side. 🇿🇦🤙 shout out
I'm a bmw serial owner, and love the new M2 (and own an OG M2), but anyone who puts those hideous wheels on such a beautiful car deserves to lose. A car with 20% less power, but weighs 60% less, is always going to have a massive advantage. Great Mini, love it.
I just fell in love with this Mini set up. If I ever can afford one exactly like this I would no doubt get one. Imagine the Mini on b road and country lanes, damn that's a smile even a speed camera can not ruined.
Smiled through every moment of this one! Epic stuff👌 Both absolute top guys and what a perfect match of cars. Jakes shifting once dialed in on that mini was top drawer stuff Can't take anything away from Andrey and that M2 though. Hell of a car 👌
The m2 colour and wheel scheme tells alot about the driver all look but no game. I've seen nice visual m2 mods but the whole shenanigans is also what makes the mini the better car and driver. Mini is modded and visually exterior and interior done by a true car enthusiast
Awesome mini, commenting before I see the outcome and regardless of outcome, I like that mini, nice job on the build, if I could own one it would be the mini
Rowan Atkinson would be proud massive props to the owner of the Mini the fit and finish looks incredible love the fact you've retained the retro details inside and out! Also what a great close pairing that was nice work Jamie setting this one up!👍🏾👍🏾
Great races, actually own a G87 M2 but as an ex classic mini owner pleased it took the win. Worth mentioning the M2 can get another 200bhp with basic mods however...
love the mini... ❤ Proper car engine swap (not with high revving motorcycle engine), proper power management and power delivery, very neat eksterior and interior... Wow... 👏🤩
I normally don't dig these digital verse analogue competitions due to the point and press boredom of modem digital Cars which normally take it on gear changes with advanced gearboxes but this was epic, loved it 😂❤
IF the mini can upgrade some how to get rid of noise dive gearchange .. my bru !!!! Jeeeepers modified yes..but what a build,and thumbs up to the M2 driver...what a sport.
Love it! All credit to the mini driver, top shifting after first race. Well set up mini that! I would have the Mini for upsetting these modern high powered factory cars 😁
It’s a sequential gear box It’s basically semi auto No clutch required when moving just pull back with your foot down Not much difference than DSG paddle shifting You’re not thinking he was using a clutch???
Firstly, I doubt I will ever be able to afford that M2 and I'm sure it's an awesome car but I am so glad I've grown up and experienced manual cars. A lot of the youngsters these days will never have the experience to properly drive a car on the hoon. I worked my way up to a m135i lci a good few years ago and I sold that for a Lupo GTi as I was missing a bit of engagement. That was a seriously cool car but after a couple of years I wanted a bit more power and comfort again. After a few test drives I've ended up in a Mk8 Fiesta ST as it was just fun.
i love the mini, and im glad it won, but i think it's quite amazing how modern cars can be so consistant at being driven fast and feel so calm inside while doing so. would still have the mini, but it's just fascinating how much advancement in the automotive field ive seen in my lifetime, esp when you remember how the supra race went, with cars either having issues or drivers struggling to drive their cars fast.

wich car lenghte we counting this race? the lenght of the mini or bmw?
That Mini is stunning & so well built. Jakes gear changes are flawless apart from his first mis gear 👌🏽
Ye he absolutely smashed it. Grip abs skills perfect combo for it to work.
100% on Jake’s shifting. The ecoboost is too civilized for me but that gearbox looks impressive
Bradley Cooper was too quick to celebrate after the first race 😄

Hahaha too funny 😂
how mad. i thought he looked like him slightly haha

The mini driver drives the car, the beemer driver stamps his foot on the floor and pushes buttons!
Yeah not sure why you'd waste your money on an M car and not get a manual. Zero fun, zero skill.
It’s a automatic what do you want him to do?
@@bootneylee9802Not everyone is a professional racing driver from the 1950’s.
@@THEDOPEYDAISYIf you can't drive a manual, you don't deserve that car. Sorry Gen Z...
The mini is a death trap😅
Awesome race, props to the mini driver, manual shifting an old school motor.🙌🏻
The Ford Focus ST engine isn't really an old-school motor. I assume you just mean having to drive the car himself
@@garage2track talking about the car in general mate
@@asifnoaman8978 hence what I said, mate. "Having to drive the car himself"
That paddle noise is like listening to somebody angry type on a keyboard.
Yes, it's not standard though, he has changed the paddles and I agree it sounds horrible and annoying.
Sounds like someone clicking a mouse lmao
It sounds like a Logi steering wheel
Quality sound.
It's blue switch 😂
Probably the best well sorted mini I’ve seen with big power. Absolutely planted

That mini's engine and gearing suits it BEAUTIFULLY. Brilliant little car. Go the mini, sorry panzer tank
Was just looking on there site they do a 600bhp one aswell
Lol. Panzer...😂

That paddle shifter noise is infuriating 😂
Isn't it
😂
That mini driver is no joke, props to him, those shifts are crisp!
These Mini launches are AWESOME! Some sirious skills here.
Mini is a beast, how annoying are those flappy clicky paddles on that BMW!!

Fair play for mini driver, gear shifts on point, most drivers would have cocked it up. What a good race
Mr. Bean on steroids 💪
The M2 looks like a 7 series in size comparison to that mini 🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣
it is basically the size of an m5

Jamaica 🇯🇲 always checking in for the OG races. Love this
A it mon😅
@@soljaboywilli1957 Jamaicans don't say "MON" dead giveaway if you are pretending to be one its just as it is "MAN" as in "yeah man"
That was some impressive driving in the mini. He made the difference.
BMW driver is a good sport 👍🏻 Love how he is having fun and just laughs when he looses. You can tell everyone is just having fun. 😎
Ready as every sunday. Let's get it
Outstanding race! Great demonstration of power to weight and auto vs manual 👍🏽
Love it when it's that close. Credit to the M2 driver for being a good sport.
One of the best, if unlikely matchups.
Can’t believe 5 of us used to squeeze into one of those Minis in the 90s and go raving for the weekend 😂🥴
Doing Chech and Chong impersonations all weekend 👍😂
I remember 3 of us managing to kip in our minis😂
Yo my man in the mini knows how to hustle a motor, was NOT expecting it to be that close from a dig. Thats one well sorted mini 🔥
Jaime’s enthusiasm is infectious 👍
Jamie you need to get in touch with Stuart Mead his mini would eat both cars for dinner as it’s one of the fastest road minis in the world.
Total respect to the minis dsg changes
the paddle shift click in the M2 would get on my nerves
This was flipping awesome!!!! Love it when the races are this close! Well done Jamie! Excellent match up!
Man thought his out the box BMW was the dogs danglees,he got whooped,wiped the Hollywood smile of his face😂
Giving the mini's wheel size ..... It's a pocket Rocket for sure.
Respect OG Crew❤❤❤
Yooo that was the best race that's been on the OG battles in a long time!! Dude in the mini can drive! Mad props to him and his build!
Sickest thing iv seen on here so far, massive respect to that mini, build is sick 👌
Both cars are stunning but just seeing that mini move on a m2 is mental 😮
Bouy, this was really exciting to watch man. A BIMMA vs mini, OMG the mini was AWESOME
This has to be up there as one of the best drag races you have produced. Top notch driving from Jake. He's as good as Audrius and Affi!
Fantastic races, so close. These two are a perfect match also for my Smart Brabus, I would sit perfectly in the middle of these results with my 428 hp 543 Nm torque massively heavy 1900 kg 0-60 3.76 & 12.1 quarter mile. Absolutely loved this one.❤
Woah, why are they so heavy? Or is yours not the little toy car shaped one?
@@Sam-go3mb no it’s Golf sized and Electric 😂
Great video this one. I love the energy from both drivers. Hats off to Jamie for setting this one up
It's great to see TH-cam collabs. MrBeast smashing those gear changes in the mini
Respect to the OG battles and why we support it,respect super great race what a build and gearbox sorted etc 👌 ❤ . Minis are getting rapid that side. 🇿🇦🤙 shout out
That Mini is special. The engine purrs after being hammered. Great build..
That mini is master piece , the way it puts the power down , and delivers , it's insane ,must be hell of a fun driving that !!!
That Mini ran that S58 ZF down like a boss. Love both cars and that super gear changes from the Mini driver.
by far the cleanest mini I've ever seen. exterior interior 💯 perfection, top notch ! 👍🏻👍🏻
This came a long way, lovin the progress...keep up the work bro, watching from the virgin islands
The build quality on the mini is next level! Not just slapped together! 👏
I'm a bmw serial owner, and love the new M2 (and own an OG M2), but anyone who puts those hideous wheels on such a beautiful car deserves to lose.
A car with 20% less power, but weighs 60% less, is always going to have a massive advantage.
Great Mini, love it.
you're joking, those wheels are like the only good looking part on that car?
@@Christian---gotta be kidding. them wheels are hideous, stock wheels for the win
cant polish a turd mate, the car was ugly from day one. the M2 that you have was and still is a gorgeous car
@@asifnoaman8978 I prefer my OG M2, it's perfect in my opinion, but I do like the new M2, just don't class it as a pretty car, like mine.
The whole car is freakin ugly. A huge blend of round and square forms is just wrong. BMW's new design language is just 🤢🤮
Its not racing just by planting your foot and holding on .. the mini driver and others that use gears deserve the wins
Please, we don't want "better help" as a sponsor they are proven not to be trusted, and we dont want your channel to be tarnished.

Wow such great close racing. Great Jamie keep them coming
Smiled through every moment of this one! Epic stuff👌
Both absolute top guys and what a perfect match of cars.
Jakes shifting once dialed in on that mini was top drawer stuff
Can't take anything away from Andrey and that M2 though. Hell of a car 👌
hats off to the Mini builders
Nice to see such a well set up mini with that much power, some great work in the build and traction control setup.
I would have the mini
Ooiiiiii what a sick race, love it when they are that close 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Fantastic programmes OG , excellent viewing 👌
That mini's a belter. Props to both cars!
The m2 colour and wheel scheme tells alot about the driver all look but no game.
I've seen nice visual m2 mods but the whole shenanigans is also what makes the mini the better car and driver. Mini is modded and visually exterior and interior done by a true car enthusiast
The klick sound from paddle shifts are Awful 🤮
It sounds like a cheap toy 🤣
Sounds like my Thrustmaster T150 wheel paddles 🤣
These races are the best, super close. Respect to the Mini!
Awesome mini, commenting before I see the outcome and regardless of outcome, I like that mini, nice job on the build, if I could own one it would be the mini
Love these races man. Keep up the good work!!
Watching from Lusaka Zambia 🇿🇲 I love your show guys
Most definitely the mini!🎉🎉😮

I doubt it mr bean upgraded to an f1 😂, takes a lot more to impress him I think
Crazy build on the mini, both drivers having great attitudes 😎
Great races, actually own a G87 M2 but as an ex classic mini owner pleased it took the win.
Worth mentioning the M2 can get another 200bhp with basic mods however...
That was an epic Mini Bimmer Beating!
