B3, M3, 340i, 340d Touring Drag Race Carwow

A little silly and we all knew the outcome but I’m surprised how close the B3 was in the end:

Great video!

The differences in the M car and ALPINA were as expected and will further demonstrates that an ALPINA is more about cruising with in comfort with M car straight line speed when required.

What would be interesting is to see the two of them around a track as I suspect the B3, with it's greater torque and broader torque band, would be even closer.

Choice of track, however, would be important - around Monza, for example, the M3 would win but around Monaco the B3 would have a fighting chance of winning.
