EV vs ICE drag races don’t get much better than this!
Mat’s lining up in his long-term BMW M3 Competition, and alongside him we have BMW’s all-new electric performance saloon, the i4 M50!
Now the i4 may not be a fully-fledged M car, but it still packs a pump, delivering 544hp & 794Nm of torque from its two electric motors. What’s more, it’s also equipped with four-wheel drive!
In contrast, the M3 seems down on power, with its 3-litre straight-six putting down 510hp & 650Nm. What’s more, it’s only delivering its power through the rear wheels! However, the M3 has one key advantage over the i4 - it weighs 1730kg, whereas the i4 tips the scales at 2,215kg!
What do you think, will the weight difference prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

That M3 launches so well for a RWD car, it’s impressive
RWD performance usually launches well?
@@thomaslewis7621 usually poor traction
Because it launchs in 2 gear for better traction
It was just a rare day in the UK when it hadn't rained for 1 hour.
@@PushyPawn In everyday roads and weather, the RWD M3 will lose 99/100 times. Only when stars align and sun shines, it will win that 1/100
Imagine telling someone in the 90s that a sedan will weight more than 2 tons in a few years without having even a fridge in it
And how about telling that heavy weight will be faster than any of the 90's light weight too
@@the_batmobile0.4 true lol Actually insane
And telling them one makes the same noise as a fridge
Imagine showing them pictures of the current BMW line up!
The 3 series has got way lighter
What surprised me the most, was that the M3 is planted to the ground in all races
The M50 looks like its doing a wheelie with how much the front lifts under acceleration?!
the m50 is crazy heavy
My guess is the weight transfer is more balanced on the M3 because you have the engine in the front and the suspension is probably better set up for performance driving. The M50 is a softer road car and the massive power and instant torque sends the weight all to the back with the heavy batteries in the middle lurching towards the rear.
That's what happens when you take out an engine from over the front wheels and replace that weight PLUS 700 kg more further back.
@@PushyPawn thats wrong, its all about the suspension setup
@@paradox5556 He's not entirely wrong, but the main reason is the suspension setup as you said.

@@Luna-oh4tv Damn bots.

@mahim mustakim you are carwow’s nightmare.
@@Stolen320d lesbian bots. They are everywhere since August 2020. And they are even further rampant due to TH-cam permanently disable dislike button.
It's scary to think that's only the sDrive M3. It has God-like traction off the line for a RWD car. I can only image how crazy the xDrive M3 must be.
M3 xDrive does 11.2-11.3 second 1/4 mile which is nuts
they've uploaded a video abt xdrive m3
I'd say the xdrive m3 would be slower because of the higher weight and drivetrain losses (over a race longer than 1/4 mile)
@@jackcarline5183 it isn't
@@jackcarline5183 I keep hearing this, but the 50kg makes almost zero difference to the Xdrive M3. Its 0-60 in 3secs and covers 1/4 mile in 11.4s . Its pretty damn rapid. though, the RWD is 'only' around half a second slower.
Quick summary beyond the scope of this drag race: the i4 is an excellent and fast new EV. The M3 is a classic.

U ain't say which is better tho
Tesla m3?
Please also show the times of the other drag races too. I want to see how they compare and if the cars are consistent
they have another m3 dragrace linked in the description and a leaderboard on their website I believe.
👍👍👍
Little suggestion : I think it would be cool if there was an aerial camera shot from a drone in these drag races it would be awesome to see from a birds eye view !

@@tomrosch8690 drone from the air would be the best comparison rather those Hollywood cuts🤓
How to make a 12 second race seem like 10 mins. Love these videos Matt!
Hi parcero, saludos desde Colombia amigo Car Wow, gracias por tus vídeos.
Something really important to note, and why the M3 might appear to be REALLY quick, is that the i4 m50 hard caps at 141mph. I had a press car from BMW and it keeps pulling hard to 141mph then abruptly stops at the limiter
Great comparison. What I'm taking away is that as someone who never really goes beyond three digits on the public roads, the i4 really does have more usable straight-line performance for any journey I'd make . But as someone who's had many a BMW six-cylinder engine in his life I'd still have more fun in the M3
If your at a set of light the petrol would win as shown above.. if it was the awd m3 then that would be a complete slaughtering for the electric car as thats another half a second quicker on the 1/4 straight line.
Got a BMW with a straight six right now and was interested in the i4, but the weight... 370 kg more than a Tesla M3P. That is a serious penalty for not having a dedicated EV platform.
@@Radaos yeah the i4 is just too heavy IMO, the next-generation model with a dedicated electric platform and likely a lower weight will be much more tempting
exactly. doesn't matter one bit to me how quickly they accelerate in "the real world" any modern car is plenty quick enough, and draconian speed limits from the 1930s mean it's kinda a moot point. What matters is feedback, and engagement and feel and involvement. That's why I wish instead of 0-60 times and emissions which don't matter, manufacturers would chase low weight, and hydraulic steering, and manual gearboxes and handling. They do chase grip, but that's different. Every modern performance car has tires that are so wide you get understeer and can't kick the ass out. That's why a subaru brz is more engaging than a corvette, even though the corvette can pull something crazy like 1.2g.
@@Radaos To be fair it doesn't matter, to me anyways. Doesn't matter if they make em lighter, doesn't matter if they make em cheaper, or faster, or less hideous. I want a real engine, with engagement and responsiveness. EV's will never have that, and they're so unnecessary to begin with. If the earth really would boil itself to death in a few years, sure, maybe let's do electric cars. But all of the politicians that are okay with absolutely ruining cars in the name of a few "environmentalist" brownie points, keep hoovering up beachfront property so clearly they know something that lots of folks seem not to lol
Bloody hell almost 7m subs ! Well done guys !
Great drag race ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍I love bout cars 🤩🤩 Keep it coming mat

Most impressive is that M3 having that traction for rwd
You can thank the gearbox for launching in 2nd gear for the RWD version
Nice drag race Matt
Nice work mate Watson
If BMW does a full M version of an electric car, I’m just gonna start riding mini bikes every where I go.
Great race as always.
But maybe they should make an M version of that i4 maybe things will be very very different. Love that M3 it sounds brilliant wow. The screen is equivalent to the out power speed 👏🏿👌🏿💪🏾
Why a m Version for the i4? Do you need even more hp to succes?? Hahaha in same output power the combustion engines will always be faster that's fact!
@@adamrodrigues1617 Why an M version for anything then? A 320d is quick enough for most folkes.

I Love Love Love the this BMW i4 M50 and BMW M3 competition because of their power and cool look
Can we add %fuel/battery before and after the test? 🧐
Won't be that bad for the petrol car. For electric cars the way you drive has a huge effect. Going 70mph vs 60mph will cost 100miles off the range.

The M-series cars are beautiful I'd love to own one of these 😍
Something about the M3 side profile which I really love. It’s like so…. Smart? Sleek.. not sure but I love it
I'm waiting for M4 vs M8🔥🔥🔥🔥 that would be awesome
The most important thing you need to know about EVs is that they accelerate as fast as the manufacturer decides. The weight difference between a 200kW motor and a 400 kW motor is negligible, and everything else is decided by the software. A nerd with BO & acne presses a button to change performance in an EV - whilst with a petrol car engineers have to work hard to make a difference.
So if a petrol M3 beats, matches, or loses to its electric stablemate, then that is entirely down to decisions made in a boardroom.
That is true but battery tech is still fairly primitive. Li batteries massively overheat if you pull too much current out of them so the current draw need to be limited.
EV’s accelerate really quickly a ‘few’ times then their batteries overheat.
It’s not the manufactures making them slow it’s the tech
You mention weight of the motor but that’s irrelevant, it’s the batteries that make them heavy.
The electric car is still years away from being truly viable because they’ve been rolled out too early.
They’re being charged with 60% fossil fuels (on a good day when the wind blows) and their lifespan is less than that of an ICE as once their battery dies at around 7 years or so depending on use it’ll write the entire car off.
@@Holstertolstz “Massively overheat?”
I’ve been driving EVs since 2014, and I’m not a gentle driver. I’m more than happy to say you don’t know what you’re talking about.
@@Holstertolstz More bullshit in this comment.
Right now (I just looked it up) less than 30% of electricity generated in England is fossil.
And “battery dies at around 7 years” - where did you read that? The Daily Mail? One of my cars still had 95% battery health after 8 years of use.
Sounds to me like you’re a mug for propaganda.
@@Holstertolstz Sure, sure. That must be why an eight year old Tesla S still sells for around £35K. And in its eight years of life so far has saved its driver around £15K in fuel costs, which would provide a decent financial cushion for any refurb work that might need doing in the future
Meanwhile in the real world, the electric car driver laughs at the m3 in his rear view mirror off the lights
The m3 wins from the dig. And If you can laugh while getting walked in in a 60 roll you must have an abundance of COPIUM.
@@dd120398 dont like EV but it smokes em all cornering now as well. tested!
Mat when are you gonna show us a race between an new M3 M5 and M8 to see how big the difference is (if any) between them and if it is worth the extra thousands
Would be great to see a VW drag race between the Tiguan R, T-Roc R and Golf R (even the Arteon and Touareg if you wish :D)!!
In Finland the choice is easy. The M50 costs half of the M3.
Absolutely Love the new m3 comp😍 especially the styling 👌
great video👍👍
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻👏🏻, What an awesome drag race to watch ! It will also nice to see the M3 x M60 suv !
One of my wishes, before I die, is to see the lady who does the countdown before the races to actually flag down the races once.
Do yall just refuse to announce the battery percentage on the EVs before races, according to BMW the m50 should be faster 11.6 vs 11.9, so I'm assuming the m50 doesn't have a full battery, honestly why not just drive one car with the accelerator in half way?
That suspension travel on the I4 is crazy thing has monster truck suspension travel
Mat, plz next m3 comp Xdrive vs any
The m3 sounds amazing

8:33 Matt’s face… priceless.😭😂
i died laughing when the tie fighters came...
That turbo on the m3 sounds like heaven
This for me shows why high performance EVs may be fast, but they are not sports cars yet. The i4 is carrying nearly half a ton more weight around and it shows. Even with more power, more torque and 4WD, the i4 is just outclassed.
EVs have usually just single gear and are tuned more for real-life use, so rather for acceleration than max speed.
The i4 has so much traction issue with the front lift. Airbag suspension issue? Also, never got to see the i4 cluster to see if launch control was used, and what was the SOC?
Suggestion: How about including the kg/hp ratio or kg/nm as metrics in future videos?
Day 2 commenting until you show the speedo/tach for all cars! Would love to see the display for the EV as well. Pleeeeease :-)
Remember that the i4 M50 has 50 kW (68 horsepowers) less in comfort mode (non-sport boost modes) - equivalent to 544- 68 = 476 hp (-12,5%).
It would have been interesting to see a race starting from 120 km/h to 200 km/h and/or from 150 km/h to 225 km/h. The M50 is superspeedy in the higher speed range and kills ie Tesla model 3 Performance. The M50 does 100-200 in 8,64s and the M3 Competition in 8,01s (Tesla Model 3P 10,1s). The higher the speed I guess the M50s extra weight plays less role and the massive torque and power will give an advantage even against the BMW M3. In sport boost mode of course ;-)
476 is the normal power but 544 is the launch control power. Ie: gas is best
Thanks mat for another epic drag race u always entertain us no matter what? Be it combustion one or electric one .three things r for sure entertainment, fun and excitement but mat I must say one thing what's wrong with ur braking technique 80 percent of times u on the loosing side although I could see u are a excellent driver ??????
You should do a race with a cupra leon st 310 2.0tsi
Such beautiful cars, can’t wait to see what the next 5 years holds for BMW and this electric lineup.
They aren’t beautiful! Hideous is the word you were looking for.
Id rather see what the M division has in store rather than the electric cars.
Hands up if you think the M3 looks good nowadays. The i4 ain’t bad either, the 4 door coupe shape really helps, what BMW does best. the 8 Series Gran Coupe is probably my favourite-looking modern BMW of all time.
Don't like the grill :(
I’m doing well Mat! Thank you for asking at the beginning of the video 😁
Also, what happened at 8:18 🤣🤣🤣
237 Hp/Tonne (i4 M50) vs 280 Hp/Tonne (M3), it's an obvious results. .....
Brake test was not an obvious result, I was not expecting the i4 to win that.
