In this thrilling carwow showdown, the stage is set for a drag race like no other - a battle royale between a tuned diesel BMW 3 Series, a tuned petrol BMW 3 Series, and a tuned plug-in hybrid BMW 3 Series. The diesel contender, the M340d, boasts a hefty 413 horsepower and 850 Nm of torque, with a weight of 1.9 tons. On the other side, the petrol powerhouse, the M340i, roars with 470 hp and 630 Nm of torque, tipping the scales at 1,758 kg. And let's not forget the electrified entry, the 330e plug-in hybrid, with 400 hp, 700 Nm of torque, and a cost-effective £900 tune-up.

As the team delves into their car preferences - one for petrol, one for diesel, and one for the plug-in hybrid - tensions rise, and predictions are made. The engine sounds are compared, launch control capabilities are scrutinized, and the anticipation for the ultimate showdown builds. The drag race kicks off, with the petrol model surging ahead to claim victory, followed closely by the diesel, and the plug-in hybrid bringing up the rear. Quarter-mile times are dissected, revealing the petrol's 12-second triumph, the diesel's 12.3-second sprint, and the hybrid's 12.7-second effort.

But the competition doesn't end there. A rolling race and a brake test are on the agenda, uncovering surprising results that challenge preconceived notions. The diesel shines in a high-gear rolling race, showcasing its raw power and dominance on the road. Brake performance and tire differences come into play, influencing the outcome of the tests and adding layers of complexity to the competition. As the dust settles, the team reflects on the performance of each contender, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses that emerged during the intense battles. And with a call to action for viewers to engage with more content on the carwow channel, the stage is set for future showdowns and adrenaline-fueled automotive adventures.
