2023 BMW M2 vs Audi RS3 // DRAG RACE + LAP TIMES
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The 2023 BMW M2 ($76,500 starting in Canada, $62,200 in the US) and the 2023 Audi RS 3 ($60,900 starting in the US) are two powerful yet practical options out of Germany.
The tire-smoking M2 boasts a mighty 460 horsepower from a twin turbo inline-six, but it weighs a good chunk more than the all wheel drive RS 3. Will the Audi and its new RS torque splitter be able to outpace the new M2 around the track? What about in a drag race?
Thomas and James are excited to get behind the wheel of these two German powerhouses and see what they can do at the home track. We hope you enjoy the episode! Subscribe!
A MASSIVE thank you to Pirelli for sending the track-focused Trofeo R tires for the Audi RS3 at such short notice and with such expeditious resolve.
Huge thank you to @im.ali.Khan for loaning us his RS3
And to Safe Auto for another top-notch delivery

@@sharodbell Nah, the truth is that car design is a lot like politics. Everybody loves more stuff and complains if you get rid of anything. More safety, more quietness, more electronics, more options. The problem with the M cars is that car should be the exception to the rule.
Assuming the two shots at 9:44 and 9:55, you can see the differential at work. In the first shot, the inner rear-wheel is spinning much slower than the outside rear-wheel in the second shot. Love the cinematography in this video. The drifts are beautifully captured.
As a fellow new RS3 owner, this is the perfect car for me, the ultimate compact daily. Also, glad that you found one to make this happen, saw the post on the audi forum by you guys :)

Very nice review, as allways. My unpopular opinion: I think the M2 looks better due to its proportions (loong hood, two doors, short rear, wide stance) while the RS3 with it's wide track in the front looks like a bodybuilder that skipped leg-day. But I agree with Thomas, that i'd go with a previous gen M (F82 M4 Comp for me) over one of these two.

Not apples to apples, but I had a 2017 340i Track Pack, added the MPPSK (M performance and sound kit - tune/exhaust) and a six speed. Great car! Loved it with the automatic more. It woke the car up, felt the rip to redline, and just enjoyable. Same with the E92. Loved the six speed. Chose the DCT second time around. Just my opinion.

Thank You Guys, You made my Day.
Great video, RS3 all day anyday
Can you guys considering doing a behind the scenes video of how you plan and shoot your reviews/come up with the story lines? Can’t believe how much this channel has grown up but it’s been so fun to see.
Really appericiate the drifting shots
Great vid, really appreciate the comparison, but looks like the RS 3 wasn’t in the RS Performance mode during the hot laps and the drag race segments?
You guys are taken the car review to whole different level. Marvellous. It looks like those cars are tools and you are the artist.
Same opinion here... I like my current G series M4 but my F series M4 was a lot tougher, maybe the last proper M car.... 😢
I think it looks great. When you get Brooklyn gray and a carbon tail kick. Tint and rain guards with better wheels it really looks good.
2:09 If the F87 M2 was "ultra ultra playful" I wonder what the E82 1M was? I think only James could comes up with the adverbs and adjectives for that one.
I'd love to see Demuro rate the cars these chaps are going to race and track, then Thomas and James take Doug along for the ride.

I agree these guys would make an excellent collab with doug they would be unbeatable together on KZread
Can we please get a GT350 on cup 2’s around this track? Dying to see where it lands on the leaderboard.
The Audi front end looks like it’s missing with all that black plastic. And people make fun of the M2 front end? Given the choice, the M2 is an amazing car and for most people, the automatic is so much smoother than the dual clutch auto. BMW claims shifts in S3 mode to be 150 milliseconds, and I’d bet the DCT isn’t much faster or could be even better felt faster. In Oregon’s, before I bought my 2024 M2, Audi had a $35,000 markup on the RS3. It was a no brainer which to buy. Keep up the good work….I love your videos. By the way, did you see the difference those optional Audi tires made on the Car and Driver Lightning Lap? When they changed to those tires from the stock tires, they gained like 4 seconds a lap at VIR. If it wasn’t for those tires, the Audi would be down closer to the Golf R. With the M2, the Audi RS3, or the Golf R….you can’t go wrong. All are wonderful cars. Congrats James on your Golf R purchase.
I’m talking from experience I’ve owned several Mcars & still have an E46M3
M2 CS F87.. still the better choice!
I'm enjoying my 2023 RS3 (no significant understeer on the street with good tires) but the fact that you can't flash/tune the ECU in these new cars is a major bummer. I wanted 550 whp like the old one with bolt ons

you guys are hilarious i love it😂
Great review, I’m a TTRS owner and I planning to buying a RS3 for my vacation home in the Caribbean that has some lovely twisty roads.
Ill take the RS3 alllllll day
The M2 looks absolutely great. If it had a Toyota badge, people would hype it into oblivion… It’s just the typical hate against BMW…
Hey guys love your channel I was wondering when are you gonna do the Audi RS3 vs Acura Integra Type s
Nice TH shout-out from Rory in the AT M2 walk-around.
