Drag Race: BMW 330i vs Mercedes-Benz C300 on KLIA Runway - AutoBuzz
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
When it comes to the premium sedan space, it has always been BMW vs Mercedes-Benz - particularly The 3 vs The C. It's about time we put them head-to-head, and find out which is faster in terms of straight line speed. So, we lined up the top of the range but non-high performance G20 BMW 330i and W205 Mercedes-Benz C300, racing them down the arrow straight KLIA runway. Which camp are you in? Camp Munich, or Camp Stuttgart? Comment below!
CORRECTION: C300’s transmission is a 9G-Tronic auto, not a DCT. My bad!

You firstly need to understand that this is a all new bmw 3 series vs an old Mercedes Class(and that RS4) That RS4 competes with F80 M3... it even beats the M3 CS in a drag race. The G20 3 series competes with the W206 Class(which is not released yet) and we don't know if Audi will release a new generation RS4/5 models because they didn't say anything about them.

If you read the c300 manual you will find section “for maximum acceleration” … find that it will change your launch. It explains that To engage the rapid rev matched dct shifts first turn tcs off and from the line in sport plus use max brake full gas (no more than 5 sec). The computer now is in launch mode and please do- launch. What this does is engage the dct transmission for high rpm rapid shift as well as take out turbo lag. I found that the transmission shifts much much faster when following the “max acceleration” guide in the cars manual. Perhaps this less known. At track it shaved .4 seconds off 0-60. This is also likely why we see a large range of reported 0-60 times in c300 testing ranging from 5.3 to 5.8 reported.
