Clarification: the reason why the GTR was in manual shift mode during rolls was because the M550i has a sport transmission which drops the gears during roll race. The GTR has a much different system where it won’t do that as quickly. We did tests, the auto rolls GTR was way behind, 6 speed vs 8 speed. 😅! Just to make it more fair.
Nice! Translation: The GTR takes too long to kick down in fully automatic mode, vs the BMW in fully automatic mode. So, you went with the fastest mode vs fastest mode. One using paddles to shift, the other without. In other words, it's how two guys would race, if they saw each other on the street and decided to race. The GTR owner would know that manual mode works best for racing, while the BMW owner knows that letting the car do it is best for racing.

Wow, who would have thought, one of the fastest accelerating sports cars of it's era, would be slightly faster than a large, family, 4 door saloon with 4 huge seats and a massive boot.
@@giocoby The M550i engine is from 2008. The GTR was designed to rival the Porsche 991 turbo S, and be one of if not THE fastest 2 door sports cars on the planet. The M550i isn't even the fastest BMW 5 series family saloon, or the 2nd fastest either lol. You're fanyboyism has backfired like a thrashed Nissan. The M5C destroys the GTR, even my 1 series with a straight 6 and only one twin scroll turbo is almost as fast. And they are both just family cars. Leant a bit about the cars you are fanboying, and the cars you are criticising before you embarrass yourself any more.
The handling on the BMW is OK at best and the steering is over assisted and it feels very disconnected from the road. BMW had great steering around 9 years ago.
Curious were you manually shifting the BMW? Seemed like you were just using the automatic. It seemed like the Nissan was shifting manually and could be the part of the reason it won because he definitely was shifting more aggressively
Obviously the BMW is the more impressive car here and the underdog in a drag race. The platform has seen everything from a 4 cylinder to hybrid to monster V8
I believe the 8speed makes a difference, only because man is still shifting into higher gears and gtr been done so like i mean i dont know good races!!
The fact that the GT-R is still out here taking the win is still amazing! Especially when you think about how long the GT-R has been out on the market!! Heck yea GT-R!
LOL until it comes up against a car which is actually a 'performance' car, and not a large family saloon with lots of room for 5 adults and a huge boot. M5C would destroy it. As would most modern sports cars. It was amazing when it came out, but if anything, this shows how fast normal cars are nowadays, compared to one of the fastest sports cars of it's era.

Right next to the GT-R...sure, before the gas pedals were pushed down, the GT-R just confidently pulled away😄😄😄
Half a car Length for non m car Is pretty great
So what was time quarter mile time??
I thought the M550 was going to get smoked. That car is the ultimate sleeper car. I might need to trade in my M340.
You're M340i has virtually the same performance figures as the M550i.
@@DMCarReviews😂 no it doesn't my guy
GET IN MY GARAGE. BOTH OF YOU STAT!
Wow! Sam, look, I'm so lucky for liking and commenting. Bizarre when the commentor actually knows the RUclipsr. Makes these scams look comically stupid.
This is why I'll still take a GTR - do a basic tune for 91 octane and call it a day. How's the BMW going to run at 150,000 miles?
Probably still going just fine, the GTR however would have gone through about 10 clutches in that time.
If u take care of ur car it’ll run fine at 150k miles if seen some bmw’s last tile 200k-300k u just have to take care of it
@@billnye5183 Indeed. I sold my last BMW with 144k on it, still perfectly fine, even the interior looked mint.
I bought it at around 78k and only serviced it, but had to put 2 new rear shocks on, and a crank position sensor. I think that's pretty good.
What. These are two different cars. 4 door luxury sedan and a 2 door sports car, borderline supercar if it was more expensive lol.
Why would you buy a GTR if the car you're looking at a series 5 lmao.
Why not 99 octane?
Awesome nissan GTR has been produced in this way for 16 years can hang up with new super fast cars NISSAN GTR still and be a legend we hope for R36
I have a Merc im also a big BMW guy, but why does BMW make engines that sound terrible but perform good? Like come out with a decent sounding v8 for once
Japan Powah! Even with less 2 cylinders and very old model/platform just proves that the GT-R R35 is so way ahead of its time.
🤣
Wow, who would have thought, one of the fastest accelerating sports cars of it's era, would be slightly faster than a large, family, 4 door saloon with 4 huge seats and a massive boot.
Yes. A Japan 2007 technology with less 2 cylinders beat the advance 8 cylinder 2022 German car. Make you wonder right? 😁
@@giocoby The M550i engine is from 2008.
The GTR was designed to rival the Porsche 991 turbo S, and be one of if not THE fastest 2 door sports cars on the planet.
The M550i isn't even the fastest BMW 5 series family saloon, or the 2nd fastest either lol.
You're fanyboyism has backfired like a thrashed Nissan.
The M5C destroys the GTR, even my 1 series with a straight 6 and only one twin scroll turbo is almost as fast.
And they are both just family cars.
Leant a bit about the cars you are fanboying, and the cars you are criticising before you embarrass yourself any more.
@Nik Gnashers Thanks for the great reaction. Thats what ive been waiting for. 😁😁😁
The handling on the BMW is OK at best and the steering is over assisted and it feels very disconnected from the road. BMW had great steering around 9 years ago.
Puh that was close, it would be a huge shame if the lighter and stronger supersports car GTR would loose to the luxury upperclass sedan BMW M550.
Damn Godzilla still the king around here 😂😂😂
GT-R vs a G80 M4 would be a good match
You’re not right beside him he was walking you
crazy how gtr was/is ahead of its time
Sam are you a fan of formula 1 racing?
Since when I was 11
Would really help if you guys gave us the drag times. Nice video
Should have put the nissan against the M8 it would have went differently.
Curious were you manually shifting the BMW? Seemed like you were just using the automatic. It seemed like the Nissan was shifting manually and could be the part of the reason it won because he definitely was shifting more aggressively
I auto on a roll the GTR lost by 1 car, the BMW has a S mode tranny which downshifts faster, we wanted to make it fair.
Obviously the BMW is the more impressive car here and the underdog in a drag race. The platform has seen everything from a 4 cylinder to hybrid to monster V8
Downpipes on the beamer would make it more of a fair race
I believe the 8speed makes a difference, only because man is still shifting into higher gears and gtr been done so like i mean i dont know good races!!
M5 really impressive even it is family car the results are really close with gtr
That's got to hurt a little bit that's not even BMWs race model that's a business sedan 🤣🤣
Great match up Sammy.
Did use launch control in sports plus
BMW's are just a dime a dozen - they're the dodge challenger/charger/mustangs of the European side...
Please do a genesis G70 VS a Lexus NX 350
Good race, i know M5 is more powerful and faster than old GT-R35... M550 xdrive VS Godzilla🙏💯🔥💪 GT-R Rules!!!
V8 twin turbo vs V6 twin turbo and the winner is!!!
Very interesting! Only 1 car length behind Godzilla! Thats a fast BMW... Godzilla took the win since it Most likely has a higher RPM range
The fact that the GT-R is still out here taking the win is still amazing! Especially when you think about how long the GT-R has been out on the market!! Heck yea GT-R!
“Super car killer” 💀💀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
and not even tuned either so expect big power on the M550i once it gets some proper mods
why does the screen squish up/down and sideways
What this video did was open the door to an M5 CS running a GTR.
A v6 still destroying modern boosted v8s. That's the most impressive
All Hell Godzilla , king of the monsters
Shidddd I’ll take that instead of M5 🤷🏿♂️.
Just bring the competition man
As much as I love bmw (I own an e92 m3) I still want to own a gtr someday
i really really really want to see the tuned 340I vs this M550i
The tuned 340i will win.
Commentator in BMW obviously has a misunderstanding that losing by a full 1.5 car length is 'by-much'. 🤣
Jesus BMW, that M550i has the best bang of the bucks if you dont absolutely need to have a M5.
I definitely need a M5 Comp 😂
I thought the 550i was gonna dust the R35 for some reason, but fair enough, great race. Both great cars.
I don't think you know what power to weight is.
@@mattyoz0 I do know, but the GTR's top range is not as impressive due to it's age so I expected it to lose. Either way, very impressive.
Id love to see a G80 M3 against the M550. Cant find any races between those two.
GTR... ❤️😁
lol Sprots Plus and Sports has a different throttle response. in my M550 Sprots Plus has a slower throttle response than Sports.
Lol the GTR Rev by himself
Gtt still the best and drag destroyer
LOL until it comes up against a car which is actually a 'performance' car, and not a large family saloon with lots of room for 5 adults and a huge boot.
M5C would destroy it. As would most modern sports cars. It was amazing when it came out, but if anything, this shows how fast normal cars are nowadays, compared to one of the fastest sports cars of it's era.
Its a 4 door against a 2 door too that against the 850 m
evry body can pack a big sedan with big power ofcourse it will reach sportcars levels
