In this exhilarating drag race showdown from the carwow channel, the BMW M3 Touring takes on the mighty BMW M8 Competition. Brace yourselves, ladies and gentlemen, as we witness these German powerhouses battle it out over the standing quarter mile.

First up, we have the BMW M3 Touring, a daily driver with a 3.0L twin-turbo straight-six engine that pumps out a staggering 510 horsepower and 650 Nm of torque. This beast of a machine is no lightweight, tipping the scales at just under 1.9 tons. With its all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic gearbox, it's ready to unleash its fury on the tarmac.

But don't count out the BMW M8 Competition just yet. This convertible beauty boasts a 4.4L twin-turbo V8 engine that roars with 625 horsepower and 750 Nm of torque. It may be heavier, weighing in at a hefty 2.1 tons, but it's armed with four-wheel drive and an 8-speed gearbox to give it that extra edge.

In the first race, the M3 Touring shows its mettle, completing the quarter mile in a blistering 12 seconds flat, leaving the M8 Competition trailing behind with a time of 12.4 seconds. The M3 Touring proves its dominance once again in the second race, crossing the finish line in 12.2 seconds while the M8 Competition lags behind at 12.5 seconds.

But it's not over yet. In a rolling race from 50 mph, the M8 Competition reveals its true power, leaving the M3 Touring in its wake. The M8 Competition's V8 engine flexes its muscles, propelling it forward with unmatched force.

To add some spice to the mix, a braking test is thrown into the mix. Unfortunately, the M3 Touring struggles on the slippery surface, giving the M8 Competition an advantage. But let's not dwell on that, for the M3 Touring has proven itself to be a fierce contender on the drag strip.

In the end, both of these Bavarian beasts showcase their power, performance, and engineering prowess. The M3 Touring impresses with its agility and lightning-fast acceleration, while the M8 Competition commands attention with its sheer brute force. It's a battle of the titans, a clash of German engineering excellence. So sit back, buckle up, and enjoy the adrenaline-fueled spectacle that is the BMW M3 Touring versus the BMW M8 Competition.
