Sure, right off the bat, this might be a strange match up. But if you happened to have an A45 S and a BMW M2 CS in your garage at the same time, wouldn't you want to race them? Well, that's exactly what we've done.
We've filmed and published many drag races over the years here at Cars.co.za and we've been shouted at a lot by you, our valued audience, in the comments. For some reason drag racing really seems to get our favourite petrolheads riled up and so for this video we wanted to comprehensively test these cars against each other.
And so, given that the M2 and the A45 represents a RWD vs AWD issue, we ran the standing start race three times and then switched to a rolling start.
We do hope this offers a fair and equal match up for these two cars.

Carwow fans know pre-2021 BMW launch control never works. Great video👌🏾
Yeah 👍🏿
Yeah Matt Watson is synonymous with these types of tests
Overrated.
I guess Im randomly asking but does any of you know of a method to log back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid forgot the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.
@Sullivan Alvin instablaster :)
That AMG's launch😨🔥🔥🔥🔥
AWESOME RACE !! Expected both raced exactly ad they happened.. Merc for standing & Beamer on rolling...
AWESOME video, as always !!
Well done and really enjoyed it 😃💪👍
I like the way you did the rolling race. This is a winning formula for you guys. Keep it up
My word that M2 CS looks too good 😍
This is so much better than Carwow's drag races. If this was Carwow it'd be 15 minutes of popup banner ads and messing about. The only thing missing here is a brake test and you're there
You're forgetting the times that they got
Like carwow much better!
Nah dude carwow is cool
No chief, carwow is on another level please
Hahaha dude get out of here! How dare you compare carwow to this😂. . I mean no respect but dude😂💧
Been waiting for this! 🙌🏻🇿🇦
Was an epic drag race.🔥
The quality of the video is just too good. Good work guys 👌🏾
Goodness that M2 CS😍🔥.. I love I love😍
Hand pistols is becoming Ciro signature move 😊
It's all these powerful cars he's been enjoying lately, that's making him feel like a youngster again☺☺👋👍
🙄 get a grip
Great Vid @cars! You guys are brining it home.
Thanks so much! Much appreciated
I’m liking these reviews and races keep it up gents
M2 has an extra person in the car during the rolling race too. Both insanely impressive 🤙
Not he doesn't 😂😂 that's the camera 😂😂
I love the drag races ❤
Look how the driver in the AMG gets slapped forward and backwards at the start. These Mercd are crazy!
And the A45 handles brillintly aswell, in fact, its the inly modern 4wd car which handles like the old Evo 9, where the car was rear heavy.
Awesome! Keep them coming Car guy 💥💣
Love the bmw but for price and other things I would go merc
This was fun brother ☺👋👍
The new A45 have incredible porformance.
But it sounds like shit, M2 cS over a45s any day
@@thiccboi1726 The a45 sounds good with a downpipe or exhaust. But I agree M2 over the merc
M2cs ftw
nice drag buddy they kinda sound better compare to the European soft limiters or do they also come in soft limiters here in sa??
Didn’t expect the M2 to be so much faster on the rolling start... The A45s launch control is brutal
Well M2 CS has the same engine as the old M4 so it made sense
It's actually even faster than what we saw on this race. The M2 Comp alone buries the A54s
@@shoshKid no it doesn't the m2 competition has 400hp. This has 450. 0-200 is faster in the a45s than the m2 competition. The m2 cs is alot quicker than the m2 competition
@@MegaUnavailableusern Yes, 0-100 this A45s is quicker than the M2 comp is a quarter mile, but the M2 Comp catches up and beats after that.
@@shoshKid I'm not talking about 0-100. The a45s will reach 250 before the m2 competition. The a45s beats the m2 comp in a roll race. It walks an rs4 dude
Two of my favorite cars, nice race
What a video mate!😎
A few years ago hot hatchbacks cost around half a million. Now you have to fork out a cool million for that A45. Outrageous
That used to be the M3/C63 range. A million for a hatchback?🙆🏿
Blame corruption, the weakend rand and inflation. In usa the a45s only costs about 50 k dollars
There was never any doupt that the merc would just destroy the BMW from a standing start, the BMW is way more track focused tho so around a track it would be a real weapon. The A45 launches so good reminds me of a GTR launching with the rear digging in the way it does.
This fpv drone shots is so sick. Love it.
I’d love to see these do a 1/2mile race. The A45 is just insane on launch. What does 8 speed automated dual clutch mean
Dual clutch allows you to shift gears much faster. Haven't a clue on how it actually works 😸
The guy driving the bmw can't handle it
He weighs less than the average person so it’s hard to handle that powerful of a car lol
@@thiccboi1726 😂😂
///MPOWER. Does AMG comes with cup 2 tires as standard ?.
More races please 🤝
The torque difference and engine displacement was clearly demonstrated on the rolling start. Otherwise AMG for the win for me.
2.0 liter four popper never for the win... atleast metaphorically speaking.
Both great cars, the Marc is insane but if I had a choice, I'd gladly take the M2
4-wheel-drive is soooOoo good to get the power "on the street". Greetings from 🇩🇪
was the bmw's tires warm cause we know it cannot launch well with cold tires
Ciro did u put it in sport + mode during rolling race I guess u forgot
As a BMW fan I must say the MERC totally roasted the beemer undeniably on the drag but it stands no chance on the track
A45 faster than M2 comp at the Ring!!!
is the A45 AWD and the M2 RWD?
Thank you for using the Imperial number ....We watch too much of the US stuff and always struggle with the bhp...etc...
Great race but that guy can't launch a BMW. The key is to not use the incompetent launch control and not throw the throttle; hold the break with the throttle at about 2.5rpm and feed the throttle!
That tiny 4pot engine is a piece of art. Beating a 6cylinder with weight advantage 🔥🔥 A45s for the win
He beat the 6 cylinder because the BMW is RWD, if it were AWD it would be another story, but yes that 4 cylinder is a niceeee engine..
@@MichelOM1995 the same can be said for the Merc if it had a 6cylinder it would absolutely wash that M2
@@mengienghinamwaami4894 Not sure about it. Check out the C43 vs M340i
Or even take a look at C63s vs M4 G82. Even with the bigger engine they can't keep up with those beemers.
Not here for any kind of fan boy arguments.
Cheers 🍻
@@amiralihedayati3625 That's a very dishonest comparison, the C43 doesn't have a true hand-built AMG engine, meanwhile the C63's engine is far off from the maximum output factory-spec 4 Liter V8 (630bhp in the GT 63 S).... The highest specific output engines from BMW are nowhere near close to the highest specific output engines from Mercedes (A45 S and the upcoming Project ONE with over 700bhp from 1.6L), that's a fact.
@@amiralihedayati3625 you disregard the tune. A c43 has considerably less power than even an A45. That same engine with the right tune will smoke the M2cs still.
Cheers “fanboy” 😂😂
Two best boys for the Job in SA, I bet the CS would catch up in a quarter mile, we all know why it will lose over and over on the launch, so no need to even make a comment on that..... The real race is on rolling which is where the prowess of a vehicle is witnessed...
That’s more like it, whilst rolling like on the common motorway or when ur challenged 👌👌
Please add the curb weights to the table at the end of the video
Is this in Saldanha air port
In love with the M2 CS! But why is it so damn expensive?!?!!!?! Worth the money for the car. But by the time someone can afford to pay for that themselves, it probably won’t suit their lifestyles unless you can afford to keep it as a weekend car only
Not worth the money..not ever
Considering the KW and NM Mercedes have managed to get out of a 2.0 T Motor, 200kg Heavier, the Merc is the Obvious Choice ( Engineering Bomb ).
I won't buy any of the Two, But the Merc is a Absolute Missile.
All wheel drive advantage
Great race. Can I perhaps see latest RS3 against merc s45 please I reckon it’s also potent car. Out of these two cars will take the M2 any day all day👊🏾quarter mile races don’t mean anything when you going to be smoked on long distance 🙆🏾♂️😂
I guess thats true if all you do is race on highways. Mine are mainly at street lights. So the Merc anyday. Plus I prefer AWD. The new rs3 should beat the A45 because the latest Golf R is almost the same in a 1/4 mile race...
Ciro you chosen the right vehicle
A car you can buy your groceries and win races
With that price of the M2 cs you can get yourself an M4 comp because you're basically just paying for an M2 with an M4 engine in it and also being a collectible car here in SA only 30 of them available in SA
That's a 3litre engine bra and m4 competition is 4.4 litre
@@sherwindlamini5995 which m4 is 4.4 liters ??????
@@sibusisothemba8003 which m4 is 4.4 😂🤷🏾♂️
@@sherwindlamini5995 the m5 is 4.4, m3/m4 is 3.0 inline six, only m3 that was 4.4 was the m3 gts LOL and that’s 10 years old now
@@sherwindlamini5995 You've no idea what you're talking about
"Suburuly" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Subaru spec M2" Lmao classic
Can they try a different driver for the BMW M2. I'm not convinced at all
Im with you on that one the merc is fast yes but that guy was just slow off the line
@@lonelychessdragon Only looked slow cause the Merc is so fast
at least u did a roll race to redeem the beema
That m2 cs still costs 500k more let's not forget 😹....both cars are amazing in their own right though
500k what?? The M2 CS costs about $83,600
@@markbrix9385 its 500k brands (south African currency) 1 usd = 15 rand...do the math
@@alphampala6699 lol, who cares about South Africa 🤡🤪
@@chuanry it's a South African video
The new Golf 8R is going to throw a spanner in the works with these segments.
Already been done against the a45s
Thanks.
Can we get the times?
Damn that BMW goes, pretty sure BMW is underrating that power plant.
no it uses the same engen from the previous M3 330Kw.. its a monster car that one🔥💪🏾
@@jongilejoe7973 lol we know they underrated those.
The 3rd bout should have been a stop from 100km/h to see which car stop quicker, that way we would have a winner.
😭Can we have this Merc VS vw golf 7 or 8?🙏😉
Golf mk7 ? not even close .. mk8 very close but the a45s wins. It already has been done
Lol. The guy in the BMW looks like he is driving for the first time in his life.
Would love to see these 2 against the Golf 8R once it arrives
Already been done.. the a45s won but it was a closer race than I expected. ruclips.net/video/GdX1YiruB64/видео.html
Not sure why there are inconsistent videos on RUclips
bimmer all the way !
Benz all the way!
The two are awesome cars,it's just a matter of taste
A45S🕺💃🕺📌
The Mercedes is only better with the launch control. The BMW is better in all other disciplines and also looks cooler. Great video😎.
On carwow the m2cs did better dude just didn't know how to handle that m2😅
That 330kw is too for him 🤣
Send me link
@@bhekansele6946 it’s all about the driver, Bmw rwd launch control is extremely tricky to launch same goes for the c63S launch control, there’s just too much torque to the rear wheels so it always spins regardless unless you lower the rpm at which you launch control
How is this even fair 😂😂😂
Wow! that's all i'm go say.
Hi Ciro let's race the BMW against the RS3 id like to see the rolling race
BMW winst that one
It's unfair to do a rolling start between a 3L and a 2L. I want to see how the BMW wil perform against a 2.5
@@tman1591 Same result, Audis now have a habit of losing to both Mercs and Beemers. Lol...
@@kokochipssyd7686 a bad habit 😂
@@tman1591 Painful to watch...lol.
When the new RS3 comes out ,it’s going to show them flames
No cares about the rs3
@Mark Reyansh Your little combo talk thing is getting old man
Subaru Spec 😅
I thought the new A45 s wouldbhave 400hp ? Hmmm.... so which A class has 400hp?
310KW = 421hp . It has more
@@mahlonimothobi7375 oh my bad! I read 310hp 😂 thanks for the correction
Camera angles are a lot better now
Watched twice just to enjoy the merc thrashing the BMW m2 cs 😂😂
If the bimmer had 4 wheel drive the merc wouldn't have a chance at victory.
@@trevormoteme1535 well it don't...
@@trevormoteme1535 The A45s is meant to go up against the M2 Competition not the M2 CS. It would be fair if the A45s has a lighter more powerful version just like the CS
A45 got trashed in the rolling race how embarrassing, your little vacuum cleaner can suck the exhaust fumes from the Bmw M2 cS in the rolling races, imagine thinking that an awd car is quicker than a rwd car in a drag race is impressive, you amg fanboys are 🤡
Are you guys doing anything regarding the scammers on your cars.co.za car sales platform?
Hi there Bandile, it is a problem we're very much aware of and it is challenging, but we do have team members working on it. Please email us at youtubeadmin@cars.co.za and we will get someone from our customer service team to contact you.
Thanks but ill still take the Beemer. The M2 range just seems so perfectly packaged.
Bmw m2cs looks better tho
That bmw looks ugly af 🤣
I like both but I prefer the merc and awd
@@burimsinani1 merc looks even uglier and the exhaust sounds like a vacuum cleaner
hahaa, when he said Subaru spec M2, blue with gold wheels
The best or nothing😎
To compete with this small super-car (A45s) in BMW they had to release three models of M2, even the CS with the engine of the m4 and despite this, that little 2Litre makes everyone cry. Congratulations Mercedes in your segment always remain the N1.
A 45s amg 🔥😈
My M2 CS has an MSO/MCO (a legal document: the Car's "Birth Certificate") generated by BMW at time of assembly that states it has a 405 HP engine.
Id buy the merc and do the software , exhaust and intake and also buy a small daily driver with the money from the m2
BMW has M2, M2 competition and M2 Cs which is track based.
Amg has A45 Amg and A45s AMG
45s AMG! 💪🏾💯🔥
Do you really have to replay the launch 1 million times before we see the actual drag race?
Please review the new Renault Clio V
easy. buy both
Its funny that the a class is never compared with 1 series
Better tyres on the benz obviously
You’d be lucky to find an A45s for R1.1 Million...
Hi Ciro we need 0-60 and finish times pls
Also how many pound feet of torque and cubic inches of engine displacement. Mpg would be informative too
AMG!!
6 cylinder engine vs a 4 cylinder engine ,it was an epic race . Imagine if the A45 AMG was a 6 cylinder engine then the m2 has no chance.
now imagine if that Beemer was xDrive...
@@mduduzikubayi832 it will be on 🔥
@@mduduzikubayi832 imagine Marc having 331 kw, the point is Marc is superior to bmw, Marc less power and more mass 🤔
@@khangelamathebula6940 we can imagine the whole day but at the end of the day Merc will launch better because of AWD, M2 will always take the rolling because of it's Power and Weight advantage...
C63S had a v8 and still lost to the f82 m4 with a straight 6
That A45 better prepare for the new Audi RS3 2022
As a Mercedes-Benz fan, but car guy first, I so much want AMG to lose to M because such results give AMG credence to their 4-cyl C63 nonsense...
😂 broe RIP w205 v8 😢😢😢😢😢
Why 1/4 miles why not 1/2 to make it even more interesting ey hehehhe
I think it's because of the space they have.. Its not long enough to do 1/2 mile runs.
7 months ago on another channel this same race happened but the BMW won the 1/4 mile.
That is fast ...amg
