  • AUDI RS3:

    1. Prettier.

    2. More functional and practical.

    3. AWD for snow.

    BMW 1 Series M:

    1. A little more fun to drive.

    2. Badge.

    You don't live on the track people, you live in cities.

  • I take the rs3 any day of the year, It has so much more functionality than the small m1

  • I think that the tt-rs is the competitor for tje 1-m coupe not the rs3

  • BMW ALL THE WAY.

  • 1M is so much sexier

  • @londonas2 Are you nuts? The 135i with the N54 engine pulls some serious number and is quick as hell! Let alone the 135i would beat the hell out of an S3 any day! At least I did so on the Autobahn!

  • @SimpsonvilleRecords this is a RS3 not a S3

  • BMW all the way

  • BMW 4 ever!!!

  • who cares. this test is for retards that care about drag racing. both of those cars were made to turn well not go straight. i'll take either

  • nobody can win when you have to shift with the left hand

  • lol audi gets the same power out of 2.5 litre single turbo engine as the 3.0 litre double turbo bimmer engine, that just shows how shit bimmer engine engineers are

  • "Surprisingly, the Audi won, but not by as much as we expected." Derpa derp?

  • @spiraO7 hahaha loool didnt catch that at the first time xD

  • we all know the quattro will lauch u faster offline till about 0-60 faster than a RWD but then audi could only do that much after which the bimmer is coming to eat it ALIVE! which it did here! who wants leave this sexy bimmer(RWD fun)for a fugly audi?bleh!

    we all know which is the ultimate driving machine and which has the sex appeal and much better finish so why even argue,i didn't even know a car is call rs3!lol!

  • @kay19833 Bimmers have better finish to them than Audi's? I dont know what kind of no-existent experience you are basing this on but I know ALOT of people that would strongly disagree with you.

  • @kay19833 lol u can talk when bimmer can't even create a good engine, 3.0 double turbo is same power as the 2.5 litre single turbo, thats just discusting if bth cars had 3.0liter and engine and 2 turbos bimmer would be fucked, and even now audi with a smaller engine won, so what are u actually talking about here

  • @londonas2 LOL i knock out a AUDI 3.0 TDI 6 cilinder ( current model ) with my 2 liter diesel 4 cilinder (fully stock!!!) !!!!!! who's the crappy engineer now :-)

  • wow.....Allrad und Automatikschaltung gewinnt gegen Hinterradantrieb und Handschaltung....wer hätte das erwartet? Wirklich ein supper Test

    PS: Es gibt immer einen der geradeaus schneller ist.....aber desshalb ist es nicht das bessere Auto...

  • Launch Control vs. a Shitty Driver, what did you expect!

  • they are the same cars - 1 has 4 rings and the other has a shitty bmw badge

  • авуди гавно ебучее))))))))))

  • "surprisingly the Audi won but not by as much as expected" How is it a surprise?

  • bmw strong

  • audi's V5 4ever!!!

  • @joep2240 Lol it's not V5 it's R5 ;)

  • @Soigge also good XD but i could say: 5 cilinder.

  • I dont understand why people arguing over these two giant manufacturers. Both are greaT! its not like your dads or family manufactures either of them to be showing hatred towards one manufacturer... lol

  • Rear wheel drive = more FUN

  • take the ttrs for the track then. bye bye m1

  • id take the bmw any day of the week cuz with the right driver the bmw would have win

  • I'd take the Audi ANY day

  • beide gute autos also streitet euch nicht wie kleine kinder ;-)!

  • FAKE!

  • quattro rules!

  • Comment removed

  • 0.3 of a second is a drivers error.slow reaction time plus rubbish shifting since bm has stick.do it again with a better driver for the bimmer,then you'll see

  • @jzy0104 could you do it better? Derp

  • @jzy0104 same thing with an audi, get a race driver and the gap will become even bigger so again what are u trying to prove here

  • @londonas2 simple mate.0.3sec is not all about the car its the drivers reaction time..its just so happen that the audi driver has faster reaction time.maybe swap them around..it could be a different story..relax..you don't have an audi have you?...lol ..coz i got a bimmer.

  • the only thing bmw would need its awd and bye bye audi

  • maybe let someone launch the BMW that isnt a complete retard?

  • S- Line for life Quattro kills B.M.W. Im not saying bmw sucks cuz it doesn't at all but what i am saying is Audi has that much more power and agility to make it better

  • It make BMW look so slow

  • The whole difference was in 0-60, due to the holeshot (which has NOTHING to do with the car - that's just a driver issue), and the handling-killing Audi AWD.

    Not a huge fan of turbos in ///M cars, but it's still clearly the better performance machine in this matchup, not to mention FAR less ugly.

  • booummm audi !

  • RS3 Pussycar for the Housewife.. To buy Toilettpaper...

    Bmw is for the Real Man !

    Of corse bmw thats longer in the Drag, 'cause it's Stick and Audi isn't...

    On a track.. Bmw wins !!

  • @ulqin2008 yh don't think so mate, if ur calling the winner of a drag race shit then what is the bimmer? audi is for housewifes? no my friend they are not, obviously u haven't driven any of these cars because you wouldn't be saying that.

  • BMW is the only DRIVERS CAR out of the two.

  • @santclause1 yh but it lost so suck on it

  • God u lot whine on about track driving abit much, yeah the 1m would be better on the track I totally agree but the Audi wasn't built for that, it's a bloody a3 estate for crying out loud, if it was about driving on the track then you would be pitching the ttrs against the 1m and the tt would win! The rs3 is designed to be an all rounder where IMO the 1m is a 1 trick pony and from my personal experience the BMW lights its tyres everywhere when driving fast the Audi doesn't, yeah it under steers

  • I think this is the first ever video made in the UK where it isnt raining!

  • the people that made this video are mildly retarded just saying. two completely different cars.

  • . . . . Quattro is the name of the 4WD system not the name of a type of differential . . . Quattro has had many types of differential in the past as well as now but at its heart is how it all works together . . . thats why Audi are the leaders in this market . . only journalists driving a Quattro get understeer because they can't fucking drive an AWD car

  • put them in green hell and you 'll see the winner! thats racing and thats where BMW shows what it has

  • @tazzcaaarlovr lol, its a 1 series i really don't expect anyone to race with it unless u can't afford a proper car lol, looking at normal driving (the purpose both cars have been designed for) the rs3 beets m1 in everything

  • @londonas2 why can you??show it on youtube then

    

  • @jzy0104 obviously u want me to reply because u commented twice, my friend i do have an audi, 2005 audi a4 so i really don't know what u are talking about here, and simply you could put a better driver in the rs3 and the gap between them would be even bigger, either way audi in this case will be better

  • @londonas2 its Clarkson's favourite car! Do you even know him?!

  • @tazzcaaarlovr what does this have to do with clrakson u idiot? clarkson is bullshiter and thats what he gets money for, my opinion is based on my own person experience

  • What a rubbis comparison. Its no secret, that 4-WD ist better at acceleration from a standing position.

  • on 'tight' corners at a race track w stock tires the awd understeers vs a 1M....in real world (w nitto nt05's all around) w/swoopers/rain/gravel/dust roads the audi is a logical dd win..love the 1M looks wise and mod potential

  • Yea I dunno why everybody is ranting about BMW here. Don't forget that the Audi is also a 4 door hatchback, and the BM is 2 door.

  • BMW is better than Audi, anyways. People think 1/2 of BMW drivers are twats, but they also think that all Audi drivers are twats ;)

  • drive both and you will shit on the audi. the electronic system is bullshit. brakes you in all way!

  • BMW inline 6 all day baby. 30 years and still bangin hard

  • @bazilguy337 : 79 years !! ;-)

  • Sure a 1/4 mile is one kind of a measurement..and the RS3 won on it, very good. However, as this video showed the 1M is starting to catch up. So it is faster overall on a 1/2 mile or on a 1 mile run and those are other kinds of measurements.

    On the track it is another story, the 1M won with different drivers and the same driver.

  • @ahmdawi But you gotta know what counts is 0-60 sprint since you don't get to exceed this speed very often when driving around town, unless you live in Germany. And Audi has all wheel drive so not even rain, snow or bad weather would diminish your confidence on the road.

  • @MrTONYTONYM Yeah I guess you are right. It actually depends on different situations and where you live.

  • @ahmdawi Rs3 wins on the street and who gives a shit about a few seconds on a race track? you won't be nearly as fast as any professional anyway and much morel ikely to get a fast time with the rs3

  • @onoff314

    /watch?v=8X-0NpH0LnE&feature=r­elated

  • bmw looks pretty^^

  • "and surprisingly the Audi won, but not by as much as we expected". When did surprise become synonymous with expected?

  • AUDI WIN !!

  • People who think american cars suck are just ignorant.

  • that is matt from carbuyer , recognized the voice !

  • Audi Power

  • I love this CAr Power Engine nice Sound 5 Zylinder !!!

    And the Quality perfekt

    BUY this CAr

  • CHINESE CARS WILL RULE THE WORLD.

    

  • Can people please shut the FUCK up about american cars, they are rubbish... so they don't count. German/Japanese are always gonna be on top!!!!!!

  • @SuperLC1010 did you forget lamborghini, ferrari, pagani?

  • Be Am Double You

  • LOL... i would like to see these to cars go head to head around a track with corners not a drag race. Then its buy buy RS3.... ///M Power for life...

  • Comment removed

  • @SikhGugz haha omg do you know what you are talking about?

    if you keep in mind that the rs3 is faster then the m1. Although the rs3 weighs a few kilos more.. so just you like bmw more, don't talk like an idiot!

  • Right Boss. M Power for life

  • @SikhGugz You are wrong ! RS3 is AWD bmw is RWD ! So RS3 will have huge advantage on track with corners ;)

  • @SikhGugz Uh no dude, the RS3 is a 4X4 all wheeler with absolutely no power wasted on wheel spin... It would corner much better and ultimately lay waste to the 1 series M on a track. Don't get me wrong I would prefer to drive the 1 M but you can't say it'd beat an RS3 when it just wouldn't all because you're a Beamer enthusiast

  • BMW is faster on a track its got much much better handling then RS3 dont get me wrong its a great car but on all fast 4x4 Audi the biggest problem is that they tend to understear.

    I advise you to watch the TopGear review of the M3 and the RS5 even when the track was damp you would think the Audi would win with its 4x4 advantage over the RWD M3 but no the E92 M3 won... Audi are still amazing cars better then Mercedes but no as good as BMW... Muff said

  • @SikhGugz

    /watch?v=13HqyKRhg88

    /watch?v=wYoPc6KNMNk

    These two videos will support you.

  • @SikhGugz Okay dude, I'm hearing you, but you are talking about different cars. The RS5 wouldn't be as good on the track, its a lot heavier and has more power, so it would understeer when you push it, the RS3 is more evenly balanced, lighter and it's a small engine turbo, giving it acceleration through the apex without oversteer like a big v8, and the beamer's rear-wheel would make it more difficult to handle through corners, I have no idea why you would mention RS5 and M3, different cars.

  • @SikhGugz YES YOU ARE RIGHT

  • @SikhGugz dude where do you think of this shit? a four wheel drive car vs a rear wheel drive, ON A TRACK! hmm i wonder who the fuck would win? i'm not a fan of bmw's but in all seriousness had this race gone on longer the bmw would have won. But around a track good fucking luck keeping up with an rs3. Its like a cracked out cat on steroids on carpet, so much traction. sorry to shut down your //m power for life.

  • @jfuruta1624

    Audi's AWD on a track = Understeer. Let's not mention the RS3 has more weight.

  • @Thtblkbrit

    IT'S QUATTRO !

    QUATTRO// 4 LIFE

  • @nihadbosnia It's Haldex AWD not Quattro permanent 4WD

  • @SikhGugz Only until the fuel pump fails on the BMW...

  • @SikhGugz bye bye* otherwise your telling me to buy an RS3 :) just sayin

  • @SikhGugz buy buy =/= bye bye

  • @SikhGugz So.... you are gonan buy the Audi? I rather go for the BMW and say bye bye Audi ;)

  • @Essen68 i think u should refrase the comment here because i think the bimmer saw the tail lights

  • Take for the Test the TT-RS and not the 4door wagon RS3 and after that.... bye bye 1M

  • RS3 is heavier...AWD plus 2 extra doors, still made shit out of the BMW.

  • @MrFrankieFiggz

    Yeah but like i said, give the BMW 4WD (added weight) and a DSG gearbox (more weight) it would eat the RS3

  • @SuperLC1010 Well....that isn't the case now, is it.

  • I prefer Audi to BMW... but lets put it this way shall we? Give the BMW 1M as paddle shift gear box & 4WD setup, then it's bye bye RS3!!!

  • ricer got beaten by elegance n refinement

  • For £6000 you can buy and e39 m5 which is twice the fun!! Long live the ledgend. cant beat a bmw v8.....

  • Is it me or did this video pretty much copy the video styling and editing of the R35GTR vs LFA:

    Hmm..

  • It's nice to know a 2011 300C would beat both of these in a 1/4 mile race. Go America.

  • @horayforjoe american cars are crap because american engineers are too lazy to create a technologically advanced vehicle without slamming a big engine in a box

  • @DMasterMensionz What's the engine the Bugatti Veyron uses? Does Audi use a 5.2L V10 in the R8? you're a fucking idiot. American car companies aren't the only ones to use big engines in high performance cars. What type of engine does the BMW M3 E92 use huh? Have you ever heard of a ford focus ST? That doesn't use a huge engine, and it's still pretty damn quick. Maybe Ferrari's engineers are too lazy to design a smaller engine that is capable of handling the power that their V12s do. You moron.

  • @DMasterMensionz

    well said

  • @DMasterMensionz at some point You are right, but then explain to me one thing. How come a C6 z06 has better mpg, than a merc sl55 amg or an m6 v10.

  • @DMasterMensionz We've got some bimmers in company, and a Mustang. Mustang - 5 years old, no problems what so ever, brakes and wheels changed once, oil changed two times, Thats it. All bimmers (all of them) - at least one unplanned visit to the dealer in every two months. The mustang has 150kw from its V6, my bimmer has 200kw from its I6. What americans do are dependable cars, not a crap box with ton of computers in it.

  • @horayforjoe I'm sure it wouldn't..... i'd like to see it corner though. I'm sure it would crash on the "sharpest" corner.

  • @Armixs Which car?

  • @horayforjoe 300c

  • @Armixs Well yeah, it's not very agile, but it's not meant to be. The RS3 and 1M are for that, the 300C is just a large, comfortable car that packs quite a bit of power. All of the cars are great cars, they just serve different functions. these two are faster around a track, the 300C is faster in a straight line.

  • @horayforjoe how do you know that it's faster?

    it has 292 hp, audi rs3 has 340 and bmw 335 hp? it can't be faster lol. Because it's also heavier.

  • @Armixs Sorry I didn't specify, the SRT8. the base 300C has the 3.6L V6. I was talking about the 6.4L 470 hp one lol.

  • @horayforjoe still 6.4L vs 2.5 vs 3.0. I'm sure they would do the same on a straight. But who knows.

  • @Armixs I can't tell if you were being sarcastic, but the 300C doesn't have a turbocharger.

    And the 300C has been run in 1/4 mile tests and has run mid 12s at around 110.

  • @horayforjoe the bmw and audi are a bit slower. But who cares, they are way funnier to drive. Not saying i've driven any of the cars. Saying it because they are more agile and etc.

  • @Armixs I'm not saying I know which cars are more fun to drive, because that's all just opinion, some people like the fast cornering and agility of these cars, and that's fine by me. Some people may prefer the heavier, more powerful, tire-smoking factor of the 300C, myself included. Don't get me wrong, they may be more fun for you, but that's just your opinion, and there's nothing wrong with that. The amount of fun to be had is all in the opinion of the driver and or passengers.

  • @horayforjoe well I guess euro car owners and american car owners differ a lot.

  • @Armixs Haha yeah, and that's a good thing. If not for differing tastes, variety would no longer be existent, everything would be the same, and eventually get boring.

  • @horayforjoe if there were the same cars, people would go way out of line with everything just to be different. So it wouldn't be boring. who knows

  • @Armixs Are we even arguing about everything?

  • @horayforjoe by everything I meant, different body kits, extreme engine builds and stuff like that. Like with VW community, golfs with rotiforms are played out and people come up with unique ways to stand out

  • @Armixs I meant to type anything, i guess my fingers betrayed me, but i know what you mean.

  • Aww would you ever fuck off with your, "It would have been much greater had it been raining". The test wasn't conducted in the rain so why even mention it?! Poor journalism..

  • "Surprisingly the Audi won, but not by as much as we where expecting." So if you where expecting it to win by a lot. how where you surprised that it won? :S

  • @mcmanus1806 I think he said "unsurprisingly", which would be logical considering the aforementioned power/acceleration figures. It's a bit hard to tell, though - background noise, err, music etc...

  • BMW THE BEST!!!

  • audi better

    

  • 2 amazing cars. One for winter and another one for summer :D

  • men drive rear wheel drive

  • put another 20 M for the cross line the bmw will win lol

    all about audi 4x4 just at the start is fast then in the acceliration the bmw smoke the audi

  • BMW driver suck ass

  • drag race is for drag queens... high speed in curves is the thing to do with these cars.

  • Bimmer has a manual gearbox... That driver just made a shitty start to be honest. Not saying the audi is bad but i think the bmw can do better.

  • I am starting to hate reports like this. 4 wheel drive is not 'necessarily' a trump card.  In my view it's a retardation unless you need the car for snow driving. Grrr... grumble grumble

  • Obviously this will happen. AWD, DSG trans, lighter car.

  • AUDI > bmw

  • the bmw driver was sleeping or he is a fan of audi!!!

  • Bmw is ugly. Interior is straight from the 90s.

  • for me the bmw the nr.1

    the bmw driver was to slow

  • bmw - break my windows..no problem that cosmopolitan "look at me im angry" driving most owners provide us on the roads is good enough for me to get a merc.

  • AWD????? NO NO NOOOO ITS HALDEX! :-D fucking shite!

  • I'll take 4 doors over 2 any day

  • 1 word... Audi.

  • BMW !!!!+++

  • Agh, Audi driver fails for listening to BBC Radio 4.

  • Audi's are classy... BMW's are chavy... doesn't the M1 remind anyone else of a chavs spiked up hair?

  • @danielcrawford1991 nope, guess you're just a retard

  • The supra performance and time rival!

  • BMW 1 M, the drivers choice, simples.......

  • Why did they began the race at 3000 rpm? they should begin at red line.

  • @drinintr Because very few cars have max power output so high up and if you redline it you just get wheel spin, which is completely useless in a drag race.

  • the audi should have a manual gearbox

  • BMW for life

  • i know i cant drive .. i ll get the rs3

  • RS 3 sounds fun at 1:24 rather read the owners manual 1M any day 

  • 2 cars, 2 different philosophies. There is no winner. Audi tries to make driving as simple as possible while BMW makes driving sportier.

  • I am an Audi fan (love BMW too) and I thought that the BMW would win this because I have never thought that the RS3 Sportback was in the same league as the 1-series M. For me, the TT RS is in the same league.
