The UK version of the M140 was RWD, it was the US version that was XDrive. The UK version would have been stronger on the rolling race, but may have struggled off the line.
Honestly I don't see why these split second differences would make anyone buy a Golf over any of those other 3 cars especially a Merc. Anyway I guess to each their own....
I think acceleration and cornering are more important than being able to win a race over a long distance, so I would say that the BMW is probably the most fun. I mean, where can you even reach such high speeds in everyday life without committing an offence? Getting away from the spot is the most important thing for me, or the thing that gives me the most fun.

This is like a dessert, such a professional journalism!
Correct me if I'm wrong. But isn't the older M140i faster than this current generation of the M135i?
6 vs 4 cylinders.
Yes
Considerably....they literally don't make them like that any more
Car wow did a test already. The M140i is 0.4 (rounded up) of a second faster.
The UK version of the M140 was RWD, it was the US version that was XDrive. The UK version would have been stronger on the rolling race, but may have struggled off the line.
@@Lmbarrett83 there never was a M140 in the USA at all !!!
All LHD M140i were available as sdrive and xdribe.
RHD M140 was only available as RWD
Bmw needs to upgrade the power on that M135i
Well that’s why u get a 140i
@@christossakelariouugly clown shoe with a great engine and a horrendous chassis. No thanks
@@christossakelariouno, m135i is the most powerful bmw 1 series these days. next step would be m240i coupe.
They downgraded it with the Facelift
The bmw is a bit old compared to them
The rest of the drivers elevate the entire quality of the video :)
Top work to all invoved. I thoroughly enjoyed it😊
Old F series M135i would’ve done a better job..
140 you mean

Spoiler blocker
Honestly I don't see why these split second differences would make anyone buy a Golf over any of those other 3 cars especially a Merc. Anyway I guess to each their own....
did anyone else notice the "t" in "turbo" on the a35 was missing?
common problem, the T in my Turbo on my a45s also almost flew away
How comes not the M140i, A45, RS3 vs the Golf R?
Because rs3 is a m2 Level, m140i there is no more, etc etc
Rs3 has 400hp a45420 m140 maybe 400? So the r it’s only with 320
That’s why they put that so all have around the same hp
@@panosgt1590 yeah I suppose it makes more sense
@@bassitos m2 level is a45 level and rs3 level, also the m140i is just as fast as the m2 (f87)
A45s would wipe the floor with them that's why 😂
I think acceleration and cornering are more important than being able to win a race over a long distance, so I would say that the BMW is probably the most fun. I mean, where can you even reach such high speeds in everyday life without committing an offence? Getting away from the spot is the most important thing for me, or the thing that gives me the most fun.
The previous S3 looked so much better.
Every time I see the new A3/S3 I think it's an A1 now...
Looks are deceiving. It performs far better than the previous model.
Aah the race of the vacuum cleaners. Horrible sound sadly 🥲
And to think the Aston Martin db7 straight six supercharged variant had 330 hp or near about when it came out and now we’ve got little hatch backs that have more hp and are faster from factory crazy ain’t it lol
