Guter Fahrer hast dein Cooper voll im Griff ist sehr sehr schön mitanzusehen hab voll mitgefiebert schade das du ihm nicht noch vorbei kammst Respekt von meiner Seite 👍👍👌👌👌
Shows what can happen when you know the right line to take. Excellent driving. The M3 was obviously relying on his straightline speed as his cornering was pants!!! :-)
Superb driving. You was pushing the m3 to his limit! Plus the mini would have suffered from a bit of heat soak and power sap for the charger R53mcs for the win! If the mini had 20 more hp would have got past that silky smooth straight 6. Great driving from both, and excellent times. 💯✌️💯
I own a Mini Cooper S R53. I don't know what you guys are saying. He's shifting on time and perfectly releasing into gear without any hiccups. The R53 S isn't a forgiving car if you can't shift properly. Very good driver though.
A well tuned Mini is an uber track weapon, thats why it has its own race series in a whole host of countries! But not only that it is rewarding to skill but still fun for anyone.
To clearify, its an M3 CSL with "tuning" and about 390PS, Semi-Slicks and 6 Piston Brake-System with "race" break pads. Funny how small the YT-World is... here is an german commentary about exactly this M3 and his Driver ;) (lack of sound) - /watch?v=cwKa0zilBnQ
340 hp but 1400 kg, against 1150 kg and 220 cv of your mini, great challange men. The mini is much more better in the change of direction, and the mini driver is better. The m3 wrong to much corners, but the m3 chassis was great like his engine and SOUND.
I think if that Mini had just another 40 hp it would have been over for the BMW, he was struggling to keep the Mini from passing in the corners and that is what makes a Mini so tough is there ability to corner.
The mini driver is just better than the one in the M3. Good trajectories and he knows the track. 8'30"ish BTG is a very good lap, especially when the track is busy. He could have been faster without the black noisy car in front of him !
Well known it's easier to follow another driver, but credit to the mini driver, excellent lines through the corners. A little more power to the mini, and the beemer would be in the the mini's rear view mirror.
Impressive driving on that mini. Far better than the M. I wish you could have had my mini for that run, you would have spanked that M3 (the M was clearly lowered and modded). Your mini was struggling to hit 110MPH in those straights so it must not be very modded. The way my mini is currently set up, it hits 115 before you realize it. :)
sometimes i wish i was still in the US army in Germany i was getting my modified 2001 Lincoln LS which was state side ready to have it shipped over so i could drive it on the ring but then it got wrecked. now i'm not in the army anymore but i wish i could take my modified 2005 Lincoln LS which is faster and more powerful than the last one on the ring which will never happen now. :(
Nein stinkender Ami, schon gut so, dass du dich wieder aus meinem Land verpissen musstest. Und der Rest von euch Kriegsbesatzern wird von Merkel oder spätestens der AfD hoffentlich bald auch rausgeworfen. Und das dein amerikanischer Schrotthaufen schneller ist (oder auch nur gleich schnell) als DEUTSCHE Autos, die BESTEN der WELT, träumst du doch wohl nur...
The guy in the M3 just doesnt want to wreck his car.. You can tell from miles away he's driving carefully & I think he doesn't know the Ring that well, in some corners he turns in to early. Anyway, great driving in the Mini! This summer i'm going to the ring in a brand new Boxter S. Me likey :D
your line is FAR FAR better than the M3. But you already knew that. I bet that the e46 driver was wishing he spent his money on some driving lessons instead of on a much faster car when he sees that r53 coming up on him on every corner.
@Exlipbit The JCW driver is not a "great driver" but he's still pretty good. The M3 driver could take turns faster, and he could improve his lines. Put the same driver in each car and the M3 is a lot faster.
It's an E92 BMW M3. 414 BHP. I think that car realistically would blow the mini out of the water. Sorry mini guys. I own a mini S but still give props to BMW. Unless something else entirely aftermarket was done to the Works mini I don't see how that is possible. Ahh... I see the E46 now. Sorry, I saw the white BMW at the beginning. Good race! E46 should have around 333BHP. Front wheel drive vs. rear wheel drive. Awesome race.
Lotta people dont realize, that Mini's can have a low amount of HP because of how small they are... so a mini have 230+ Hp is almost comparison to a BMW having 300-400HP... The tinier the better, love my mini as well :P.
Ive owned both an R53 and an E46 M3. The M3 was one of the most disappointing cars Ive ever owned (ive had over 40)..It was a very capable car, but also very flawed. It tries to do too may things and doesnt excel at any of them. it isnt a sports car, its a GT car, but it isn't comfortable enough to be luxurious, it isnt excting or engaging enough to deliver real thrills. The R53, although much less powerful, has a directness to it, and a level of involvement that the E46 cannot match. I only kept the E46 for about 9 months because I grew to hate the Getrag manual box. Glad I had one though, but I'd never have another M car. R53 for the win!
Are you on crack my man? The E46 chassis is awesome when the floor is still attached. Even the 330Ci is a hoot, I have that thing sideways everywhere. My current vehicles are R53, 330Ci, 951, and 9000 Aero--and I honestly will pick the 330 over the R53 almost any day. The R53 is video-game easy to drive quickly, so maybe you're mistaking that for "involvement." I've had 36 cars, btw, so my credentials are in order.
Ja aber gereicht hat es am ende trotzdem nicht, auf der freien strecke hat man gesechen das der Mini es nicht mehr hinbekommen hat mit dem BMW mitzuhalten. Ausserdem wurde der BMW ständig abgebremst von den anderen Fahrern. (NotBMWFanboy)
Mini driver has skills... the drive of the BMW not so much.. just take a look at the racing line of M3.. well there is none. Thats why the mini can keep up ;)
Der hat doch galtt das Kotzen bekommen xD. Tja man kann noch son schnelles auto haben...es ist immer nur so gut wie sein fahrer. Respekt an dich wunderbare Linie!
flawless driving in the R53
Couldn't agree more!
Goes to show, if you buy an M3, doesn't automaticly make you a 'driver'. Experienced and great driving from Mini 👍👍👍
I own an R53 and it's so nimble and handles like a dream
what do you mean handles like a dream?
mini s is polite.. so as (good) dreams
the M3 definitely added some time to the mini's lap.
M3 Driver looked like he was sweatin bullets trying to block the Mini. Mini driver looked like he was just playing with the M3!
This video is spectacular. Obviously spectacular driving but theres also something really special about r53's. They seem to defy physics on track.
Power is Nothing without Control...
Great driving from the Mini.👏👏👏
Great driving! Look at the little mini keeping up with an M3 very nice, let's motor
M3 is much faster - great one, but R53 driver is much experienced.. i own R53
Gleb Nazarov The mini also had a passenger, abit more weight to carry into corners, acceration etc;
Mini is just so much faster in the corners
In some days i will get my r53 in 302hp. Bue bye m3
In the straight sure..but corners and braking the Mini will rule regardless of the driver! I have taken down many Corvettes in my R53 ;)
Guter Fahrer hast dein Cooper voll im Griff ist sehr sehr schön mitanzusehen hab voll mitgefiebert schade das du ihm nicht noch vorbei kammst Respekt von meiner Seite 👍👍👌👌👌
Nicely done you knew the corner Entry as well as the lift off high speed sections, video put a smile on my face
You are an amazing driver! and what a fast mini you've got!
Shows what can happen when you know the right line to take. Excellent driving. The M3 was obviously relying on his straightline speed as his cornering was pants!!! :-)
Superb driving.
You was pushing the m3 to his limit! Plus the mini would have suffered from a bit of heat soak and power sap for the charger
R53mcs for the win!
If the mini had 20 more hp would have got past that silky smooth straight 6.
Great driving from both, and excellent times.
💯✌️💯
That Mini is hitting the corners bang on! Kudos.
Great drive by the Mini,I have an R53,and drive almost as well.
I own a Mini Cooper S R53. I don't know what you guys are saying. He's shifting on time and perfectly releasing into gear without any hiccups. The R53 S isn't a forgiving car if you can't shift properly.
Very good driver though.
You seem like an extraordinary driver. That's what I attribute to you keeping up with a 333hp M3.
That was a very nice lap. Excellent car control and apex lines. BMW needs a driver mod.
good driver > good car
Not taking away from the m3, they got the spirit, and nordschleife is a great place to learn and develop
Who's driving? Sabine Schmitz
good video, got to love ring battles.
Better lines and better consumption... well done :)
Тhe Mini driver is far better, no word about, not to say, that after all he drives the far slower car. Admiration.
You have to think of the MINI Cooper S as a M series BMW in a sub compact! I love mine!
That was good, really enjoyed that !
Is it me or the Mini driver or copilot sounds like Sabine Schmitz ?
Respekt dem Fahrer und dem kleinen aus Oxford.Sehr geil!!!
A well tuned Mini is an uber track weapon, thats why it has its own race series in a whole host of countries!
But not only that it is rewarding to skill but still fun for anyone.
two great drivers :D r53 and e46 beautiful motors
Seriously good driving Mr Mini..... respect :)

einfach nur top
ich fand die linie super,vor allem bei dem tempo.
When I loaded the video and saw the first few seconds my brain genuinely thought "Wow, this is a low res version of Gran Turismo" :)
340 hp but 1400 kg, against 1150 kg and 220 cv of your mini, great challange men. The mini is much more better in the change of direction, and the mini driver is better. The m3 wrong to much corners, but the m3 chassis was great like his engine and SOUND.
Paolo Ciarpaglini agree .
Siłauderzenia 170hp
170hp
@@stevehash158 It's cooper Works, 211, could be more with smaller pulley
I own an R53 (15% pulley + intake) and e46 m3. E46 would cream the r53 on the ring with equal drivers but they're both awesome cars.
a sprintex or a vts9000 is a must :) we should make that mini fly
Awesome drive bro !
What tyres and Coilovers used the mini?? Oem??
Brilliant!! ... I know the BMW had the edge on the straight but he couldn't shake the Mini ... Brilliant driving!
Was für ein Fahrwerk ist in dem Mini verbaut?
is this gran turismo 5.. i own a minir53 s also
I think if that Mini had just another 40 hp it would have been over for the BMW, he was struggling to keep the Mini from passing in the corners and that is what makes a Mini so tough is there ability to corner.
The mini driver is just better than the one in the M3. Good trajectories and he knows the track. 8'30"ish BTG is a very good lap, especially when the track is busy. He could have been faster without the black noisy car in front of him !
Mini R53,what a car!!
The Mini JCW is a really fast car! BTW he is a Good driver too!
Great! You are taking better line than the M3. How much power does the MINI make?
Sounds like my JCW did when it was stock, so I'd guess relatively close to 210hp. Atleast exhaust, cam, head, and pulley sound stock
Just read that was a CSL M3 with 390 hp, forget everything I said 😂
Well known it's easier to follow another driver, but credit to the mini driver, excellent lines through the corners. A little more power to the mini, and the beemer would be in the the mini's rear view mirror.
@Exlipbit
I bet you havent even driven on the nordsleife.
this was a pretty fast lap, and it looks like he had fun in the mini. thats whats matters
Impressive driving on that mini. Far better than the M. I wish you could have had my mini for that run, you would have spanked that M3 (the M was clearly lowered and modded). Your mini was struggling to hit 110MPH in those straights so it must not be very modded. The way my mini is currently set up, it hits 115 before you realize it. :)
Awesome race Mini and M3!!! Though the Mini was going to take the lead on a couple of occasions,but the M3 got it in the end:)
great driving mini pulled him in every corner
sometimes i wish i was still in the US army in Germany i was getting my modified 2001 Lincoln LS which was state side ready to have it shipped over so i could drive it on the ring but then it got wrecked. now i'm not in the army anymore but i wish i could take my modified 2005 Lincoln LS which is faster and more powerful than the last one on the ring which will never happen now. :(

mini driver is very experienced. r53 is also a great and fun car though
Mini is such a beast 🤝🤝🤝
Pourquoi ne pas sortir une mini S avec le thp de 275 CV qu'il y a sur la Rcz ??
3:18 Good example of how much better the Mini driver takes lines. But at least the M3 driver is on the track trying to learn.
The guy in the M3 just doesnt want to wreck his car.. You can tell from miles away he's driving carefully & I think he doesn't know the Ring that well, in some corners he turns in to early.
Anyway, great driving in the Mini! This summer i'm going to the ring in a brand new Boxter S. Me likey :D
@ IwanovMusic it's an E46 M3 not an E90
Great drive mini!
Is it me or the M3 driver seems kind of stressed. His movements seems too narrow as if it was lacking fluidity.
correct
I saw the same at 6:30+ you can his desperate offensive drive of the M3 but good race
your line is FAR FAR better than the M3. But you already knew that. I bet that the e46 driver was wishing he spent his money on some driving lessons instead of on a much faster car when he sees that r53 coming up on him on every corner.
had some opportunities to overtake but overall very good driving
It's obvious that the "mini driver" is 10x better that the one on the M3. It's just doesn't have the engine for more.
GO MINI!!!!! Brilliant, realised I was grinding my teeth pretty bad part way through!
@Exlipbit The JCW driver is not a "great driver" but he's still pretty good.
The M3 driver could take turns faster, and he could improve his lines.
Put the same driver in each car and the M3 is a lot faster.

E46 should have around 333BHP. Front wheel drive vs. rear wheel drive. Awesome race.
E46 CSL M3 with around 390 hp actually. And this is not an R53 S, it's a JCW, and probably heavily modded if it can remain this close to a CSL.
Lotta people dont realize, that Mini's can have a low amount of HP because of how small they are... so a mini have 230+ Hp is almost comparison to a BMW having 300-400HP... The tinier the better, love my mini as well :P.
mpressive driving skills for mini cooper driver
awesome race, Mini is more agile than the E46 thou makes up for more HP :P
I don't think the guy in the BMW knows what an apex is...
dude you still kept up with him.. :D
nice driving

Very good race on both behalf's....
That M3 had nightmares fore quite some time after this... :DD
340hp Vs 160hp 😅
JCW is 210hp. Assuming both are stock.
Selbst JCW R53 Fahrer und schon einige M3 zerstört 😂 Klar auf der Geraden keine Chance, aber jede Kurve fährst du wie auf Schienen 😍
Friend, what is this dashcam?
Daniel San Harry's LapTimer app
was war auf der geraden los keine lust mehr? ;O)
very nice
Love it.
great match
Cool mini..more rounds will make the m3 tires done
That's a CSL M3 too
ich wart ja die ganze zeit auf abflug vom M3... NICE fighting!
Sabine Schmitz was the mini driver i think..
I thought I heard her voice at the end, might be?
BMW M ... The Straight line race cars !
Yes it is. Open your eyes before you make dumb comments.
Ja aber gereicht hat es am ende trotzdem nicht, auf der freien strecke hat man gesechen das der Mini es nicht mehr hinbekommen hat mit dem BMW mitzuhalten.
Ausserdem wurde der BMW ständig abgebremst von den anderen Fahrern.

mini cooper driver awesome
Just sold my e46 m3 and bought an r53 cooper s and wad at the ring a few weeks back in the m3. Looking forward to take the mini next summer
M3 driver is not good woah corners.
+Adel iciouus A wannabe in a good car doesn't make you a good racing driver....lol
Wow, great driving. If you had 30hp more you could have passed the BMW.
Der Typ im M3 kennt weder die Schleife, noch sein Auto... Aber der Copper ganz ordentlich!
Chewing his arse! The M3 is CLEARLY faster but cant shake you! someone give this guy 100bhp more, a race license and sponsorship! onto a winner!
Go on the Mini!!!
hahaha "wär ich jetzt nicht dabei gewesen hättest den dann überholt?! ... JAAA!!!"
:D
Nice
