The Chase - BMW RR vs. BMW M3

Finally, here's how the racing duel went - Rico and Nico are friends and they wanted to find out which one's faster: A BMW S 1000 RR or a BMW M3. We gave them the chance for a little extra tuning, put them on a racetrack and filmed the race. What was your guess?

With a good driver and a good rider, the bike will always win (in the dry at least). However, if you took the average internet posters and put them in control, the race might have a different outcome. The bike requires far more skill to use its potential in the corners. Its rare for bikes and cars to share a track with amateurs behind the controls, but look at Nurburgring for an example. A pro (Sabine) in a stock Ford Transit VAN passed some bikes during a Top Gear challenge.

It will never be the other way around...

@CaioSDMF and now try to look at the costs and put a Moto GP bike in,the hypercars will still loose

The reality is that all 1000 cc sportbikes like ducati 1198, honda CBR fireblade, kawasaki zx10, aprillia RSV4, susuki GSXR1000, Yamaha R1 are all equally fast. All these bikes achieve laptimes within 1000/s of a second a lap difference. Check WSBK superstock racing results. all superstock bikes are pretty much as they come out of the box. The bike here must have been going 4-6 seconds a lap quicker.

Trying to grab from BMW Films: The Hire a bit? lol

[CaioSDMF]

Of course car is faster, has a better center of gravity and much more grip.

But you cant pick a normal car against the one of the fastest bike on the worl.

Try put a Veyron SS, a Gumpert, or even a Viper ACR in that race and see what happens ;)

@ricardomejia

Yeah, around a track? Yeah. In a straightline, the fastest standing mile road legal vehicle is a turbo busa. And what makes you think a 1000rr wont beat a Ferrari FXX??? I could come up and design a track that wwould make the s1000rr smoke the FXX.

[MrIceColdM]

M3 is, in my opinion, the best and the perfect car... And the RR is one of the fastest bikes ever. But you can't compare them. In normal conditions the sports bike will allways be faster then a car, that is a fact (except in the case of some rare too expensive supersport or a racing car). You can't say one is better then another...

[stradot]

typical race :-) bike win ;)

@Povidius A stock M3 makes around 334whp according to Eurotuner, RR between 175-183 depending on the dyno and weather, etc.
