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...
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!!
@@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 😂
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
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.
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
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.❤
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
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!👍🏾👍🏾
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 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.
I gave up trying to work out power to weight a longtime ago. See my post, it makes no sense to me that my car sits slap bang in the middle of these two cars yet weighs in at a massive 1,900 kg.
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 😂❤
M2 owner reaction was priceless, eventho he lose the race, but the way he smile, thats a pure petrolhead guy smile' s.. sometimes its not about winning, but the joy when we are racing each other.. doesnt matter who win or lose ❤️🫡
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 👌
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...
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
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 😁
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.

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

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 😂
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"
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😅
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...😂

Fair play for mini driver, gear shifts on point, most drivers would have cocked it up. What a good race
That mini driver is no joke, props to him, those shifts are crisp!
Mr. Bean on steroids 💪
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. 😎
That was some impressive driving in the mini. He made the difference.
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"
the paddle shift click in the M2 would get on my nerves
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 👍😂
Outstanding race! Great demonstration of power to weight and auto vs manual 👍🏽
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 🔥
Ready as every sunday. Let's get it
Love it when it's that close. Credit to the M2 driver for being a good sport.
One of the best, if unlikely matchups.
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.
Giving the mini's wheel size ..... It's a pocket Rocket for sure.
Respect OG Crew❤❤❤
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.
5:10 the girly clicking noises. Bless.

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 🤢🤮
This was flipping awesome!!!! Love it when the races are this close! Well done Jamie! Excellent match up!
It's great to see UA-cam collabs. MrBeast smashing those gear changes in the mini
by far the cleanest mini I've ever seen. exterior interior 💯 perfection, top notch ! 👍🏻👍🏻
Man thought his out the box BMW was the dogs danglees,he got whooped,wiped the Hollywood smile of his face😂
Both cars are stunning but just seeing that mini move on a m2 is mental 😮
Sickest thing iv seen on here so far, massive respect to that mini, build is sick 👌
Total respect to the minis dsg changes
The klick sound from paddle shifts are Awful 🤮
It sounds like a cheap toy 🤣
Sounds like my Thrustmaster T150 wheel paddles 🤣
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!

@@Sam-go3mb no it’s Golf sized and Electric 😂
The build quality on the mini is next level! Not just slapped together! 👏
Great video this one. I love the energy from both drivers. Hats off to Jamie for setting this one up
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 !!!
Bouy, this was really exciting to watch man. A BIMMA vs mini, OMG the mini was AWESOME
That Mini is special. The engine purrs after being hammered. Great build..
That Mini ran that S58 ZF down like a boss. Love both cars and that super gear changes from the Mini driver.
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!
Crazy build on the mini, both drivers having great attitudes 😎
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
Its not racing just by planting your foot and holding on .. the mini driver and others that use gears deserve the wins
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!👍🏾👍🏾
I doubt it mr bean upgraded to an f1 😂, takes a lot more to impress him I think
These races are the best, super close. Respect to the Mini!
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... 👏🤩
That mini's a belter. Props to both cars!

Somethings not right here. If that Mini has 360hp and 800kg it should leave the M2 for dust!
It's about the delivery of the power...numbers only tell half the story.😊
Look at the acceleration graph. The mini is quicker but looses a lot of pace during the gear shifts.

@lloyd.8272 so many variables...might only make peak power for a few hundred rpm. So much to think about...very evenly matched it seems.
@@killamrbxb1151 regardless it should do 100-200 a lot faster. My old Fiesta did it in the 8’s and that had 30hp less and 350kg more!

one of the perfect match, congrats both🎉🎉
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

Danger warning that pothole at the finish line is getting worse each video I have noticed🥶 I love watching your videos great work keep them coming💯💖👍
To answer your question Jamie, yes i was expecting that the Mini would win, was rootin' for it as well.
Mini sounds the best 👌
Z-cars have been doing great things with Minis and other cars for decades. I saw their workshop in about 2010, full of mouthwatering petrolness.
I loved that Mini Cooper! Nicely done and properly tuned! I would love to see if it has a sequential gearbox or even an auto haha ❤😂
Mini Fire Brother well done on the build:
A Star is Born in the Mini. It's potential is Limitless. M2 has a right Hangover.
