Well Done BMW !

[@mountain33x]

2.0 v 3.0 that Merc engine is awesome 👊🏻

[@ferdinandalester]

The G87 M2 is seriously impressive.
These would be my picks for small-ish performance cars in this price bracket BMW M2 > Audi RS3 > BMW M240i with some bolt ons > MK8 Golf R with some bolt ons > A45 S in dead last 😂

[@bw26brw86]

I assumed with the merc being 4wd and Beemer rwd the merc would win😮😮

[@avuazahc1966]

Not even a best of three guys, are you serious? TBH ur races are like sneak peaks. Only one shot and thats it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@gcobaninondabula3832]

I guess They don't have enough time, there's plenty of cars to be tested..

[@van_der_lindeDA]

You want the merc to get beaten 3 times😂

[@letlotlo8768]

maturing is understanding BMW is better than Mercedes

[@Skyl3r07]

Nicely said 😅

[@john.p7370]

That bmw is great car but come on!! 3.0 6 cilinder turbo vs 2.0 4 cilinder turbo😂

[@karabovilakazi5021]

Something a kid would say 😅

[@mrmusic1880]

Never beat a BMW😎

[@akingturtle]

You were too slow off the mark with the Merc. Your timing needs improvement. No way that M2 could stick with the A45S that easily off the mark. Never. Ever.

[@petermeister7191]

You definately need to do more races like that! That´s just perfect for every petrol head....

Very impressive how well the BMW get out the blocks

[@orientalboy86]

Not fair since the BMW is brand new and has 40 hps more. Give the AMG a stage tuning and it would destroy the BMW with ease

[@abushamsoodien4971]

M power

[@mountain33x]

2.0 v 3.0 that Merc engine is awesome

[@mikedenkinger9570]

Not surprised

[@Formula1-Dave]

No talking, just cars! Somebody teach Ciro a lesson.

M Performance

[@TheBanker1972]

480hp/510hp to 421hp. 3.0 to 2.0. What a joke.

[@ultimatestorm3158]

It’s the competitor for A45S from BMW 😅
