BMW E46 M3 v Toyota GR Yaris: DRAG RACE

Hello, how are you, Matt Watson, here from the car? I'm sitting in my beautiful Toyota GR Yaris and next to me is a rather nice BMW E46 M3 which is actually owned by cameraman Jack and we've been arguing a bit about which of these two cars would be the fastest over the quarter mark, so I thought: let's take them to a track and find out now. Let me tell you about my little gi

yaris

, which has a 1.6-liter three-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine with 261 horsepower and 360 Newton meters of torque, driving all four wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox. speeds and since this is the circuit package version of the car, I have a limited slip differential in the front and another in the rear to improve traction.

This car weighs 1,280 kilos and costs 33,500 pounds. Now we're going to find out about cameraman Jack's car, so Jack, tell me about your BMW. My car has 343 horsepower, 365 Newton meters of torque, it has a six-speed manual transmission, no. launch control and it weighs 1470 kilos, oh that's interesting, it's like 200 kilos heavier than this

yaris

. Good job too because I lack power and a little less torque. I probably lack skill too so it will be interesting to see what happens and I have more than half a tank of fuel so that's probably a disadvantage for me too. I also have a half tank of fuel, but I think the fuel tank on this is small, right what tires are you running?

What do you mix and match in an m3? You're crazy? Was not me. The previous owner clearly didn't have enough money to own a Michelin off-roader, but luckily the rear wheels are Mission and Pilot Sport Four. Yes, I have a Michelin. Pilot Sport Four s is all over the place, so fair enough, yes you might struggle with the brake test, but here we go. Do you think you're going to win the rolling

race

? Maybe the brake test probably not. I'll just take what I have. One thing you're going to tell me that you haven't said is how much your car cost.

You can buy one of these for around £13,000 now, before we get into the

drag

race, let's do the mandatory wow car sound test and I have horrible feeling, I'm really going to lose a lot with this three cylinder turbo gasoline particulate filter, do it anyway, it sounds good here because I have a fake engine noise playing through the speakers, there is no soft limiter when you have Stability control disabled, look, yes.

It can rev up to seven, I don't know what it sounds like on the outside, probably a bit like a vacuum cleaner, let's listen to your car jack with a soft limiter at six, that's not a soft limiter, it's pretty semi-hard, yeah, yeah. I guess I'm sorry about buying a new car, then head over to Car Wow and my team will help you find your next car at a fair price. Car Wow, your one-stop car shopping comparison site. If we continue this race, keep it on the handbrake. Three, two, one. Got it, this thing just throws really well, is he taking it back now?

What's that like for you, Jack? All at launch, isn't it? Basically, it's all in the launch. Would you like to launch it again? Yeah, I think my tires will be a little bit warmer after doing that, so I hope it'll be a little bit better show because I actually think I can be a little bit faster too, so let's do it or something, oh, there we go , I have a better launch that is actually worse for you, I can tell you had a better launch, I mean I had a better launch too, to be fair, but you have four wheel drive and you are lighter, so I I will do better in the endurance race, but the next challenge is that they will adapt to you, so what exactly happened?

Well, the Toyota completed the standing quarter mile in 12.5 seconds, while the BMW took 13.2 seconds in rolling second gear at 30 miles per hour. I'll count it in three two. once, come on, now the BMW might start coming, this is the half mile mark, come on, it's coming fast, now it'll pass at the mile, oh you got me at the mile, yeah, I mean, it was 150, so I had to win or else, uh. It just wasn't going to be any faster, well this thing tops out at 143 or something because the speed was pretty low, yeah on the highway my German friend you almost won let's try something else okay now we have a rolling race. this time from 50 miles per hour in third gear see what happens this time are you ready then jack and I'll count it in three two one oh it's closer here comes the mile no you're just coming fast interesting it wasn't so easy for this time but you're still almost after a mile, you managed to pass the little Yaris, okay, so now we're going to do a brake test at 70 miles per hour when we get to the full emergency stop line.

I am lighter. I have better tiles on the front and this car has huge brakes. I should win if I don't, I'll say goodbye now. I know the brakes on that m3 were always one of its weakest points, but that's a big difference that you can have too. He kinda heard me apply the bottle when I was slowing down too. Do you want another chance? Yes, we go forever. Why not try again? Come back to life. Come on, Jack did it right. Better. It was better. It was marginally better. But yeah, it's not. Well, yeah, it's not that good, but to be fair, this car is actually very good at braking.

This would be the point in the video where I tell you about an amazing deal on a yaris gi, but there isn't one through carl. or anywhere and anyway there is a huge waiting list for these cars so what I did was set up and build another really cool hot hatch that you can get now and there is a huge saving through wow car and if you want to See what the car is and what the savings is, just click on the pop-up banner there to see everything right now.
