Mercedes AMG C43 vs BMW M340i Drag Race and Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- With the rise of performance SUVs, one might think that the hot sedan is on its way out. Nothing could be further from the truth as we still have drivers cars like the BMW M340i, Mercedes AMG C43, and Audi RS3 Sedan. We found ourselves at a racetrack with the latter two and decided to see who will reign supreme.
this was the most confusing drag race ever, i had no idea what was going on. L production
Looks like they played in own world.
and this is the reasom why Carwow drag races are my favorite..
That comparison at 1:54 🤦🏽♂️😭
This is the reason why I watch international videos.
😂😂😂😂😂😂💯
Why
Yah me too
What's the use of having so many cameras, even a drone and not record the actual drag race??? You guys should watch more Carwow videos and how they take us through the whole drag race, cumon now it's a terrible video
Facts, then next minute we’re seeing someone’s back whilst they’re taking off/ launching. 😂
Aside from that there’s no mention of weight comparison, Power to Weight Ratio.
Very minimal info on manufacturer stated times vs their averaged results/ results per round
And why are we seeing someone record with their phone. I know that phones can produce pretty good videos but thats rather unprofessional for a video as such, its not like they can’t afford proper equipment.
Also very poorly edited.
Showing us cars that we can at least afford in a few years, good content.
So we don't get to see the drag race? Terrible video
So go for the M340i then
1.6 million for a 4 cylinder?
Madness
Boils down to preference, but 3L I6 is the least I expect from anything thats priced above a bar
Yeah, though a big part of the price comes from the fact that the rand is extremely weak atm (I'm not defending Merc, I actually quite dislike them)
F1 tech means much more than that to me.
And a 2L 4 cylinder is expected to be above because it's a Merc?
Bad editing 🤦🏿♂️
M340i hands down is the better car!
Doesn't make sense. Just saw a video from AutoTopNL and the new C43 is like 2-3 seconds slower on the 100-200 kmh than the M340i, let alone the 0-100kmh.
Im 100% sure it’s easier to squeeze an extra 100hp out of the BMW than the Merc with only downpipes + tune.
✌ Warranty
I’m sure that for this 2.0 Amg engine is pretty much the same
Yeah B58 blows it out of the water when it comes to tuning and getting more power from the engine
@@schmeesmclaren1570 warranty will run up eventually, drive the car stock until the warranty is done and then download horsepower from your phone.
@@lamakicker69nobody smart would buy a bmw to then own for years until the warranty runs out just to then mod the car lmfao wtf
Was so disappointed when I heard that plastic noise in the Mercedes, especially for the price it's going for!
Lmao its cupholder what are they suppose to make it out of diamonds 😂
Mercedes interior is fast better.
wtf 200m race what a joke 🤮🤮
I have a hard time telling the two presenters apart LOL
You guys finally giving us what we want. I subscribed from Mpumalanga
Bmw M340i M440i ❤
Excellent episode, For BMW fans!!!
both in my opinion are great cars
I have never seen any BMW loose to a Mercedes in a drag race
Why didn't I hear launch control? Was it used?
I noticed that too. Wondering as well.
I ve raced both cars and had a c43 the m340is noticeably quicker in acceleration.3 tenths for sure in quarter mile run.
What Planet are those stats from?
Merc has just messed up the C class esp c63 and c43 they now 4 pot and electric power, poor build quality, poor dynamics., not pure ICE but hydrids..they better do a recall and replace those 4pots otherwise face the dwindling sales,V6 would have been better or 3liter just like how audi and Bmw sticking to their core...will dearly miss the sounding of the V8 C63 , the previous models are the ones will be in demand...Thanks for the great video, keep them rolling
The c63 is great.
The c43 leaves a lot to be desired.
Yeah no, the c63 isn't great. it's awful. dreadful reviews @@bobvance-
But I choose BMW all the way
I’ve heard many complaints about Mercedes cheap interior plastic disease whereas BMW still stick to solidity and real leather
BMW has always had solid interior quality compared to benz, always, both my brother and i own a benz and BMW from 2006 even though we both have the newer models with me owning the obvious 340i, my 2006 325i and my 2007 130i are in pristine condition with only the steering wheel showing acute signs of wear, but the seats and general interior is bang-on, no squeaks, nothing, signs of slight wear on the drivers seat, the benz on the other hand has been redressed with new leather😂
@@duffydon1741 poor Benz plastic disease like Toyota
Always B M W 💥
Don't you get the mild hybrid BMW in SA?
Excellent review!!
Well done. I’ve subscribed because I felt it was honest. Shout out. 🦅⚡️🤜🏽🤛🏽
Even as a merc fan boy i dont believe the new c43 would win… they shouldve kept the V6 in the c43 or switched it to the I6 in the E53 i drive a c300 and would not upgrade to the new C43 i am upgrading to the C43 with 6 cylinders
There was no way the new C43 world keep the V6 after it was confirmed that the C63 was dropping the V8.
They'd never let the little guy outgunned the flagship.
I just switched from my c300 to a 2017 c43… very much worth the switch, I love it
Ive got a c300 and im still debating with myself, do i go for the 340 or 43😩.
Its hard justifying the 'upgrade' for another 4cyl, i reaaaallly want that 3.0 sound.
Might have to go BMW, although i did wanna play with the switches on the merc steering wheel😂
@@Lee_MathabeIt was more about the fact that the C class was designed with a 4 cylinder.
The CLE will have the inline 6 for the 450, 53, and 63.
@@Lee_Mathabethats not the flagship yuh moron. The S class is the flagship, not the cheapy boy c class
I'm asking myself how did the M340 beat the C43 when at some point the Merc passed the BM on 1 of their drag races. Am I the only one who saw that?
I think it's probably cos the BMW puts power down better and the Beemer driver's reaction times off the line. The merc will probably do better in the correct hands.
@@gustavchuene7430 wrong, it never has and never will, the 340 has always been quicker
BMW massively underrated their engines, the scary thing is this isn’t even the newest generation of the B58, this is only Gen 2. Gen 3 is currently available in the new 5/x5/x6 and 7/x7 cars and it’s made a huge improvement over over the already great Gen1 and Gen 2.
@@lamakicker69whats scary about that moron
I currently have a 2019 C43 LCI with AMG PE….love this car. Alas it goes back in October. So what did I order as my next car? 2024 M440i XDrive Gran Coupe. The M440 is even more rapacious than my 2019 C43….the 2023 C43….just not as good as my 2019 or the M440i. Just isn’t.
something wrong with Australian 340I ?? North American 340I Xdrive would decimate C43 10-0 in drag race
This video is lacking. If you can't figure out the electronics and having trouble in traffic? Sounds like you shouldn't be driving
Rubbish. So many darn cameras and now showing actual race.
Who won the drag race?
WHAT DRAG RACE?
and who have now win?
Good to see Chad again. Its been ages.
😂 This presentation is so bad. Geez. But I guess I'm not on youtube so respect for doing it anyway. Haters be hating.
Guys what is this, next minute we’re seeing someone’s back whilst the drivers are taking off/ launching. 😂

That C43 is quick look like
Lmao man touched the cupholder n complained of plastic what are they suppose to make it out of diamonds 😂 super biased, the interior in the c class is straight up s class level
What in the drag race footage was that??? Uhh do better guys.
BMW fan
No way that Mercedes it's too aggressive I like it
why not the cla 45 v 340i or even better the 45s vs 340i

What a horrible drag race.. Car wow gets straight to it
The BMW out gun's the Mercedes. If I was in the market for a sports saloon the BMW gets my vote. Also look at a secondhand CLA 45 S.
I was in the market for a new car over the last few months and I went into my test drive of the m340 with really high hopes and it honestly disappointed me so much. All of these journalists keep touting it as the greatest car created and it just felt soul-less as I was driving. Was it extremely precise with fantastic power and a transmission so buttery smooth I couldn't tell whether it was shifting up or down? yes. But it lacked character and that's why despite the smaller 2.0 in the c43, that was my choice. Notable mention for anyone else in the market though: Genesis G70 was absolutely spectacular to drive
100%. The M340 is fast but driving it felt clinical.. I bought a G70.
@@SlipAngleG70 The G70 was a phenomenal drive. Not to mention all the tech you get at the price point. Hope you're happy with your purchase!
Remove your sunglasses when presenting. Makes it seem like this is all scripted and sponsored
Auto Trader, what is this?🤮 And there is Car Mag aside!
not really a drag race you can watch and get any pleasure from due to how it has been filmed and edited, so camera at end of trace ot see who won, no times - definately not carwwow - bit rubbish when compaired to the standard of other drag racing online.
I dont understand Why is a surprinse that bmw is a better car?!? We all know bmw is better than merc most of the time. The surprize would be the other way around
The last race the Mercedes was pulling back ....so it's always clear the BMW will beat the Mercedes in a 1/4 mile, but not in a long distance
Yeah right. Throttle House made a proper drag race here (including the S4 as well) and the results couldn’t be clearer: ruclips.net/video/Xc-pijQXdn0/видео.html
It’s well established now that the M340i outperforms anything in its class. As a matter of fact it tends to be closer in performance to actual performance models like the RS4
@@uport2 that m340 was racing against an old version of c43 as you can see on this Video the New one has a different story
@@justicetheartist6386 indeed I didn’t pay attention to the version but it doesn’t really matter because the new one is slower than the previous one. In general overtuned 4 cylinders don’t fare well compared to 6 cylinders (especially at high speeds) so I’m not surprised. It’s a good setup to pass emission regulations, less so to get actual performance. And their shitty drag race definitely doesn’t prove anything
Yeah no.
Proof with an actual drag race: ruclips.net/video/HOeRpQ1ZTtQ/видео.htmlsi=fkvVATVeso7YJCGn
Not even close even on a long run
Where is yall helmets
I was so let down at the drag race portion the most disappointing drag race production on RUclips
M340I for sure
Terrible camera shots.
You need to improve your camera record, was that a drag race 🤣🤣🤣
Your failing to to master a perfect launch that would destroy that merc
Why are they speaking English like they are from Russia ?
Because they are South African
You've got two crazy fun cars there you can do better. Try figuring out the South African and you will have it. 👊🏿 340i any day. Better car already get the Mrs the Merc.
what are these drag races? seriously guys?
You need to improve. This is below par!
mercedes fumbling. sad to watch
So Mercedes went from a fire-breathing hellraiser meat-eating carnivore. To tree hugging tofu loving vegan bush hippie 😂😂. By replacing the hard charging V6 with a horrible sounding Inline 4. Meanwhile, it seems like BMW is still keeping with it's tried and true motors.
the hell on God's earth is a Killowatts ?
The real power figure that actually lives up to its name (1000 watts).
@@omnihein9322 the only watts I know come from my speakers and light bulbs
Car power is measured in BHP & HP keep it real
@@sugarsaint 1 horse has 15 horsepower, I don't want to have to use an unreliable unit like that unless I have to.
kW is metric, the superior units.
@@omnihein9322 LMAO
new mercedez is ugly miss 2016 cla
The M340i is quicker than C43 !
Look AutoTop NL. Look Auto Motor und Sport. Look SportAuto.
So far I will remember the video because pf how bad it was. Guys! This doesn’t match the reputation that Autotrader has. Horrible video
Bmw 👌🏻
ohh noooooooooo
A game race that could have been fun, competitive, and principled was made like a stupid by this channel. It can be seen that carwow does not have to worry about views at all. There are too many mindless planner in this world.
Giulia>>
lmao no
Merc's have gone to shit, no wonder BMW's sales have gone up. All the Merc and Audi fan boys starting to wake up...
Shockingly bad production.
this video’s production is awful
These guys cant drive
C43 is the better car.
lmao in no way
4cyl😂🤢
I don't like both 👎👎
this was an awful video
Hmmm I’m not sure about it , I’ve raced few c43s on highways and they were not even close to closing the gap on the m340 , so I don’t know about their race on this video but it looks like that m340 is not driving to its full potential because it’s a way faster car.
