Wow epic stuff guys!! Knew the drags were for the 235, but the rolling race just wow! When the launch comes out of the equations it's rather interesting! Well done guys loved the video! Nice to see the M2 and M4 have a go at each other as well and all the sounds my word just sounds so good!! Definitely missed out on a big day!
im liking this head to head vibes super mad to see just how far that platform has come and theres still a newer one. dammit that 1 series held his own hey yoh
Actually I think there is a big misconception about the longer ratio - fewer gears versus shorter ratio - more gears. The more ratios will actually help a turbo staying as long as possible in the spooling area. Part of a reason why singleturbocars feel so much better with like an zf8 instead of a 6spd manual. They make you feel like always in power. What i guess kept the competition similar on the rolling start is the fact, that the 1series id guess is lighter and has better aerodynamics. This together help it to showcase that there are more factors then raw power ...the start, yes theres no chance for a manual versus a dct or zf8 together with a good tractioncontrol system, if you aren't a professional racedriver.
Great comment! This is a good example of just how many factors play a role when it comes to "car vs car". And yes, raw power isn't everything. This becomes even more apparent when you take a car to the track where even more factors play a role.
That weight and power figures you're providing with this m235i are ridiculous. M235i 2014-2018 have 225 of your lovely kW and weight at least 1650kg.(including version and automatic gearbox).

Thanks man! Yeah the 135 still seems very good value for money

I love This vs That racing videos! Great job and keep them coming!
Thank you so much! We'd love to do môre, I just wish we had a better space to do it in
We just sold one of these 235i at my work which had a very similar tune! That sound is heavenly
Like the 135 I think it's a very good amount of performance you get for the money. And I think they're very pretty to look at
135i is amazing for it’s age and era. Still fast. 235i sounds awesome 😍😍😍
I think driver mod helped in 135i 😅
Awesome video all!!
Thanks for the awesome comment Daniel! Glad you liked it 😁😁
What a way to celebrate half a century of BMW M🤩🤩
Long live ///M power!
For some reason I think a auto 1 series will win
I think it definitely stands a good chance
I raced a 135i in my G37x ngl it was so fing close but he had me on the roll and dig he was manual too
It blows my mind how potent, yet affordable they are
I raced a m235i in my 08G35x lol I got smoked
Amazing ! i love this 135i ! i dont buy the golf 6R or S3 Now !
N55 FTW!!!
said no one ever
It's n54 :) and agreed!
🤤🤤 what's that exhaust setup on the 235i . Sounds fucking mental
That weight and power figures you're providing with this m235i are ridiculous.
M235i 2014-2018 have 225 of your lovely kW and weight at least 1650kg.(including version and automatic gearbox).
The automatics just look so fkn boring and unengaging
The reaction time of the 135i driver is very slow that's the first reason he loose, and then the transmission
are you guys saying ‘kilo watt’ and not ‘horse power’ i’m so confused can someone explain hahah
In South Africa Kilowatt is used more often to measure power than Horse Power. The 135i has 301bhp whereas the m235i has 321bhp. Hope this helps
The 235i doesn’t have 240kw it has the same as 135i 225kw
The M235i has 240kw sir, then M240i had 250kw
Bla bla bla, racing not
