    Thanks to Elements Desserts for lending us their RS3: bit.ly/Elements-Desserts-1604
    It’s time for an all-German 3-way drag race!
    Mat’s in the all-new BMW M2 ‘lite’, the M240i, and he’s facing off against an RS3 saloon and an AMG CLA 45 S!
    When you look at the stats on paper, you may think the M240i is the underdog. After all, with a 3-litre straight-six under the bonnet, it can put down 374hp & 500Nm. In comparison, the RS3 & AMG come equipped with a 2.5-litre turbo & a 2-litre turbo, which can put down 400hp & 421hp respectively!
    However, it’s not just about power output, right? All cars can put down 500Nm, but while the AMG has the most power, it’s also the heaviest, tipping the scales at 1,695kg! Could that prove the difference? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
    Mat's choice, revealed! bit.ly/Mats-Choice-1604

      As an RS3 owner - I was intrigued by the M240i but quickly discounted it as: 1. Similar price as RS3 here in Australia - so no price advantage. (The new M2 will definitely be more expensive). 2. The deficiency of the RS3 (noise can be remedied by an exhaust but the extra lard in the M240 - not easily removed.

    Enjoyed this video, the synthesised noise in the bmw sounds like it's optimised for social media. It is quick though. Do people actually test these cars on dynos to check manufacturers claims? I think I like the look of the Merc most though. The audi in saloon form is cute. It was showing autobahn form with really pulling at high speed.

    Objectively speaking, in the photo-finish of the rolling race, the Mercedes seems to appear to be ahead in the 2nd last frame.
    Due to the perspective of the BMW being closer to the camera, makes it seem like it's ahead in the last frame of the photo-finish.
    So the Mercedes seemed to have won the rolling race - or at least a tie with the BMW.

      Totally. Really 50hp difference is only going to be seen top end. Lower down, the Mercedes is struggling with its weight. The RS3 for some reason always struggles and needs a remap to wake it up.
      All in all though, can’t deny that BMW can just make a car that has a well connected engine, chassis and drivetrain. All working together it shaves seconds off. I still struggle to like them though for some reason.

      The BMW is rear-wheel biased, unlike the other two, so doesn't need a gimmick to drift. And without such a gimmick it clearly drifts better than the others that do.

      @@TeacherToolkitDemo the m2 was never about big power it was about balance your m5 was for that, no one learns lessons more power doesn’t mean more fun, driver engagement the sound it was never about straight line speed, all new cars are fast the speed limits don’t change doesn’t make them more fun just means you go to jail quicker 😂 if your driving on track and chasing lap times I get it but if you don’t live at a track it’s a waste no one drives everywhere at 110 mph +, if you want speed then you will love the electric era more hp and torque will be a wet dream on paper…

    Man, I bought my m240i last August and it was truly amazing. It’s comfortable for daily drive and it can also be a beast walking away from many cars. Of course it’s not a real M or real sporty car, but it’s truly worthy considering how much it is and how you can drive it comfortably everyday. I used to drive a gla35 and the suspension was stiff. BMW has won my heart on this one.
