Here's What Happens When You Drag Race A BMW M4 GTS Against An M3

The M4 GTS is nearly double the price of the M3 Competition Pack, so how much more straight-line pace does that give you?

The price of the BMW M4 GTS really is rather hard to stomach. At £121,770 it’s near enough double what you’d pay for a standard M4 or M3, and while we know that buys you a massive increase in cornering capability (it’s 24 seconds faster around the Nurburgring than a boggo M4), what does it give you in straight line speed?

To find out, Top Gear Magazine lined a GTS up next to an M3 Competition Pack on a runway for a cheeky drag race. Neither car was launched in a particularly gentle way, leading to massive amounts of wheelspin. Perhaps the point was to demonstrate that the extra power in the GTS exacerbates the M3/4’s traction issues - we’re really not sure.

But still, it’s an entertaining family quarrel to see played out. Press play and enjoy.

I like BMW…but nothing beats buying a old e36 and tuning it for racetrack and for the money of both you can beat anyone on the track

Sport cup 2’s are awful when cold… they feel like 20years old tires! No surprise here.

They must have forgotten how tyres work. Thinkng about it, it could be the only reason of ‘’close’’ dragraces going over the interweb
