.............................................................
Do you have around £85,000 on your next car? Then look no further… We’ve brought together the BMW M3 Competition and the Porsche 911 Carrera to find out which car you should go for!
When it comes to performance, both of these cars easily offer more than enough! Starting with the BMW, it’s powered by a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six which can deliver 510hp & 650Nm of torque. It’s RWD, and BMW claims it can hit 60mph in just 3.9 seconds.
As for the 911, we’ve only got our hands on the entry-level version, but its 3-litre 6 cylinder twin-turbo can still deliver 385hp & 450Nm! Just like the BMW, it’s also RWD (obviously), and can hit 60mph in 4.2 seconds.
So, the BMW costs £87,000 (with options added, that is. The starting price is £75,000), while the Porsche starts at £83,000. The question is, if you could afford it, which would you go for? Let us know in the comments!

I have tried to like that front on the M3/M4. I really have. But I just cant. Side and rear design is awesome though.
It's a shame because it's a great car but the design is what's stopping people from buying it imagine if it looked as good as the predecessor it was be so desirable
When you see the regular kidney design, it looks boring and very similar to the older version. This is different and new.
I've gotten kind of used to it by now. But that doesn't mean that I think it looks good now, it's still hideous and ruins the car for me. Otherwise it would have been an absolute banger. So the M340i must be it.
@@ikhoonyejelem2967 I think the huuuuge price tag might have also something to do with it. The upcharge between generations is pretty big here, don't underestimate that.
But yeah, overall design except for the front is great but the latter is just undoable.
It's not that bad don't worry plenty of others will buy it lol
Great video as always - thanks for the content. Might have been better comparing M4 v 911 - as anyone needing the practicality of decent rear seats is probably more likely to buy the M3, or RS4 or Alfa. Unless they’re just play things and rear space doesn’t matter.
Damn it, I am addicted to your videos Mat. Thanks for the insanely hard work you put in everyday to come up with a new great video.

Love the Porsche's design but I'd buy the M3 if I had the money as it is just special that a practical 4 seater car has that good performance.
Thanks ~~~
The Porsche isn't about the design; it's about the drive. I rented an M3 once and couldn't wait to get back into my Porsche.
@@romanvice Problem is day to day you don't run them to the limit or anywhere close. This Porsche is so bland inside and equipment poor it is inexcusable. I'd take a higher level 911 over the M3 but I'd take this M3 every day over the base 911.
@@ngc-fo5te Porsche bland inside? It's so classy, good looking and well build, especially next to the M3 which looks like a 1-series inside with some carbon trim

It’s rare that I actually like green on a car, but this one is gorgeous. I think it also helps the new m3 and m4 with the whole front grill situation.

@@joevazquez9405 don’t get me wrong the new grill of the m3 is hideous, but darker colors like this green help to diminish the perceived size of it. Compared to white for example, this green helps blend the black grill to the dark green.
@@nicolasbocchino3761 I agree with you
Matty best of luck to you and the baby!
Keep churning these reviews out, great entertainment this is. Cheers!
For the ‘entry level’ 911, it’s performance is extremely impressive.
Furries inferior, viruses superior.
911s are pretty capable in their base forms for quite some time now
But the sound and aesthetic leave alot to be desired.
Forget the entry level impressive, its can do a 3.8s 0-60 with RWD and 385HP! Wtf!

I cant say that I would like one over the other... they are just for completely different reasons (above awesomeness). If you need more practicality then the BMW will not disappoint (obvioustly) and if your a single person and like to just look good and have fun then the Porshe is the obvious choice! As always great review... I am learning a lot about cars and am getting a much better feeling for what my priorities would be in a car too (will be looking to buy something proper for myself in the near future!) :)
CONGRATS MAT, all the best for you both.
"Quick, but not as quick as a 911" is becoming the motto of Carwow.
Quick, but not as quick as a Model 3 Performance is the new motto. ICE is oh so yesterday.
Not at all. 911 is very far from being the quickest in Carwow. A lot of cars destroyed them especially on rolling race.
The G80 M3 is way more fun, special, the fact that it's a literal *sedan* with so much insanity, power, handling, drift easy on 1/4 of throttle, awesome body lines, way *better* sound with a good setup, full RWD and 510HP+ *as standard,* not even with BMW perfomance parts, the fact that the S58 can take 1000HP on *stock* internal and *way better* value for money in every way. And it's a *///M* car, cheaper on the long run, keeping it's value much better than a regular spec 911. Stock it's already insane but even a simple S2+ ECU tune with all stock parts on the RWD car (not even the AWD version) would make it way faster than the 992 AWD Turbo S especially on rolling race. Imagine the AWD version for the M3. BMW all day long.
And it's coming from a Porsche fan.
@@bikinisforwahinis8111 nice bait lol
@@SonOfDrogo He's right tho. Tesla Model Plaid would destroy the 992 Turbo S in every freaking way.
Congratulations Mat!
I am in the market for a new car and was looking at both these cars so great video. Already being a dad myself, I am leaning towards the M3 as this will be a daily driver. Just more economical when I need it to be but when I am alone, the fun can really start.
Just love the way Mat says Oh! Yeah.😂

@@carwow 🤛
11:26, you must wait for the boost to build and for the car to say "launch control active" before you lift off the brake Matt, C'mon!
Yup noticed that, on the speedometer it actually says building boost and after that, it says launch ready. Matt just brake boosted lol
so on mar 10 2021 he lauched the m4 and did 3.66 sec and 4 month later he forgot how to lauch the car weird
He actually hates BMW's watch the latest videos with BMW's you'll see
So basically, if you launch it properly the big 4 door saloon is faster than the small sportscar? Strange that Matt fails to launch the car as it should...
@@ignacevanbuggenhout6353 its beaten it before at 3.6, can't see why that one couldn't

Great review Matt!!!

Matt CONGRATS 🎉 on your new baby. Cheers 🍻
😮: They needed the grill to be much larger so that they could have it closer to the radiator which was itself required to be pushed forward with the S58. The grill would have otherwise not allowed space/time to disperse and “hit” all areas of the radiators. They had three options. 1. Use a smaller (and less powerful) engine to move the radiator back, away from the grill bodywork. 2. Make the nose of the car jut out awkwardly far to give space between the grill bodywork and the radiator assembly. 3. Make the grill bigger.
They went with #3.
That BMW Steering wheel looks fantastic
@THEEVENDREN A/L N RAVINDERAN Moe most of us know that… you do realise that’s because too much weight over the front axle makes the car understeer. *cough* *cough* audi

First things first: Congrats Mat! Second: There are decent front facing seats that fit in the back of a 911 - with Isofix : Roemer Duo Plus. Can confirm they fit in a 991 and a 992. And get this - there are quite a few buggies that fit the frunk - even for my twins. No rear facing seats for the back though.

Congratulations Matt!
Odds are the m3/m4 will plummet hard in value. I bought a 2015 M4 for $72k, I looked at used 2014 carrera for 74k, I bought the m4. Traded the m4 in 2018 with 30k miles, the trade in value was around 40k. Right now, 2014 911s with 40k ish miles are fetching $60k
The 911 is the king of acceleration and braking, even with 60 less horsepower.
The reason is in the position of the engine hanging from the rear axle.
Although it was a handicap in cornering behavior (today totally neutralized after 57 years of continuous evolution and improvement), in acceleration what Watson says: the rear axle with the weight of the engine has more grip, if to this you add the four drive wheels is a veritable missile on the way out. (Carrera 4S version)
The same happens when braking, with the weight of the engine the rear axle also has more grip for braking, and therefore it can mount larger brake discs than the competition without fear of locking.
The sounds of the BMW ooooohhhh man it's so good.
Porsche sounds like a diesel😂
You can always take of the soft limiter of the porsche and have even better
Compared to any car pre 2014 it's absolutely laughable.
A C63 from 2012 ridicules it, same as an E92 or c6 zr1 which are all cheaper.
I'm not much of a fan of the OPF downsized engines, even if the Performance numbers are nice they lack any form of driving pleasure.
I currently drive a C7 Z06 and its pretty much the last performance car im gonna have, nothing which came out the last few years compares to it in it's price range, except for a 100k KM r8 v10
Buy used and pre OPF cars, people. Show them that we don't like what they're doing to ICE cars
My neighbour: Hey mate you should change your vaccum cleaner it is too loud!

This new M3/4 made it more difficult to decide now. I pitched the F82 vs 992 Carrera 4 and it would be quite difficult deciding tbh
A powerful 3-series like the one shown, but with an electric roof would make a great base for a more humanely priced competitor to the California/Portofino. Would of course need (much) better looks to be a real alternative or even to come close to having the same sort of flavor. This one is definitely more "distinct" than pretty. :D
Obviously the 911. Although I would rather a 993.
Would have answered the same
Would too but they are stupidly expensive
I would have the new gt3 or the carrera gts because they have manual transmission and n/a 6 flat
