@14:57 is possibly my favourite moment, Aamir actively checking that the Mini is still in the race and then being happy that it was just a bad launch and not an actual problem with the car. Super respectful race
Amir‘s sportsmanship had me smiling all the way through, that dudes a true gentleman 💯 as for the mini…. Epic 👌🏻 love the build, owners a cool guy aswell. Loved it Jamie! Banging content as always, thank you bro 💪🏻
I brought spare pants just in case! Though actually, it's been so well put together it feels incredibly stable if when it looks sketchy. Beautiful to drive even at those speeds :)
Thanks for all the comments guys, I will be back for another OG Battle in a Civic Type-R or Glanza in the future! I’ll be leaving the E63s at home 😂😂 was a great day regardless!! Cheers Jamie!
The golden ratio of weight, power and gear ratio is almost there on the Mini, a few tweaks on the gearbox shifting could have the results switched quite easily.
@@VtecTurboMiniGuy errrrrr yeah.... totally.... definitely not heading north of that after a few tweaks :s Whether it can get to the ground or not we will see ;)
I’ve been in a 1990 Mini Cooper with the original engine albeit rebuilt, so what 90hp? And that thing was rapid and pretty scary tbh, I couldn’t even imagine 350hp in such a tiny car.
Both cars are awsome, but that mini is a lil gem. Me and a friend test drove a Cooper s that had been modded, straight cut gears and i think it had 1450cc displacement. Was wild.
That’s what I love two people who respect one another and their build and don’t get cocky and have a good time need more people on here like that allot are way too cocky or serious 😂
Aamir, what a guy! Hope he got a run in the Mini to make the smile on his face even bigger, that thing will be fierce with a bit of fettling and fine tuning!!! 👍
Both awesome cars and what genuinely nice owners. Really wanted the mini to win that, but completely agree, it’s dragging it’s gear changes, once they are dialled in it’ll be savagely quick
It's a MUST this one gets a rematch after mini sorts that gearing issue out then on full chat mini all day I reckon haha. Jamie fantastic match up and very entertaining as always. Keep up the great content brother 👏🏽 👊🏽🔥
No matter the outcome of each race, that Mini is the real winner here. That little thing is so cool, the owner and anyone involved in building it has a ton to be proud of! Haha, I love it! Well done everyone.
I have a 2010 W212 E63 saloon with the 6.2 v8 m156 engine and that's lightening fast, so I can imagine how fast that new gen E63 4.0 twin-turbo must be ! - That mini was amazing off the line due to it's power to weight ratio - Much respect to both drivers - The mini driver was a great sport and a cool guy ! 👍👍👍👍👍
Great video and respect to both drivers. Amir showing true sportsmanship. When I get my supra back on the road (with more power 😊) wouldn’t mind a few runs against that amg and would love to be on OG battles 🤓
Both seem like top lads and good sportsman. Mini looks so much fun! Do think the leaderboards need a split down though by power to weight categories. Top 5 from each or something.
can't help but love the mad things that come out of z cars, that fact it has dsg is a really cool twist and gotta remember that it's a fresh build, the mercs cool, but the mini is next level
That mini is phenomenal, literally everyone who owns a dsg tsi/tfsi knows they hold the gears in sport mode. I really wanted him to try manual shifting he would have definitely inched him! Amir is an absolute gent. Throughly enjoyed watching this! Thank you officially gassed!!
@MrCaterhamr500 iv got a mk2 face-lift octavia vrs pretty much the same set up and in sport mode they drag the gears out and stay up high on the revs if you just floor it, have to be extremely modular with you foot where as in manual mode you have more control over the rev range.. they tend to spawl up out the blue and loose abit of traction higher up in the band if your on and off the pedal
I owned E63 (2012 5.5L engine) which was a brutal machine, was flying... That`s why I do respect the Mini, unbelievable little muffin... They were actually identical but winner Merc covered itself due to its gearbox. It is so clear that Mini lost some milliseconds at each gear change where Merc did it smoothly with dual clucth. Like everyone, I was supporting Mini ✌
Man the mini held up well indeed! long time viewer suggestion, with the leader boards if they dont make the top 10/15 can you still show what it came against all previous runs/cars? would need a spreadsheet but if youve kept the data that would be awesome to see where the lower powered cars came overall, since top 10 is dominated by the big bois mostly 1000hp plus, we dont get to see how they compared with similar cars from previous episodes unless we remember what times they got. it would just be so cool to see how some of these lower hp cars compare to one another against all previous data and not just the one they are versing in the battle.
To me that looks like the gear changes are a big difference and where a lot of time was gained by the Merc. Fantastic build, nice race and good sportsmanship from both
Imagine that you fully stripped the merc, like fully. Carbon fibre roof, no interior, stripped out doors. I'm talking throw anything out that ain't needed. It would be very very very fast
Bit of tweaking wi the boost and some tuning on the gear shifts and I rekon it would be a win for the little mini, great lookin wee car though, what a build 👌👍

That mini build is amazing & love the fact that Amir wanted it to beat him. Respect to both owners & especially the builders of that mini 👌🏽
Needs to work on that gearbox though !
Thank you for the kind words 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@amr_motors what a down to earth guy 😎
3psi more for the mini , and it will be faster then the AMG
@@amr_motors I only speak the truth , respect where is due 🙏🏼

Man is a good sport for sure
Thank you for the kind words mate 🙏🏼
Great attitude. 👍
Shows he's a proper car lover.
I loved watching your reaction to it Aamir, hope we can meet again if only for a pint :)
No cap.
I think everybody wanted the mini to win this one! Even Amir. 😂
You boys put on a good show!
Wasted love on a car 😂
I did not
Amir‘s sportsmanship had me smiling all the way through, that dudes a true gentleman 💯 as for the mini…. Epic 👌🏻 love the build, owners a cool guy aswell. Loved it Jamie! Banging content as always, thank you bro 💪🏻
Love the mini but Amir is a brilliant humble winner.
You can tell that Mini is built well goes nice and straight no wiggle or wabble a lot of chassis work and r&d went into that very impressive
It's average built, setup doesn't really add up. For that power to weight ratio it's slow...
12 second car is madness for a mini, must have been terrifying
I brought spare pants just in case! Though actually, it's been so well put together it feels incredibly stable if when it looks sketchy. Beautiful to drive even at those speeds :)
In Zimbabwe we call it NYORO
12 secs? Lurvely.
Its slow, for those power to weight
I never seen a Race when One Driver is Cheering for his Opponent's Car. That is Class Act Sportsmanship right there!
Star of the show has to be, Amir. Cracking lad👍🏼
Thanks for all the comments guys, I will be back for another OG Battle in a Civic Type-R or Glanza in the future! I’ll be leaving the E63s at home 😂😂 was a great day regardless!! Cheers Jamie!
🏁🙌🏽
yoo bro i got a fn2 type s gt ... and i wanna boost it too 300bhp
Not seen enough glanzas bring it on 🔥🔥🔥
I wanna see the glanza.
Respect brotha 🤘🏼🤙🏽💪🏽✌🏽
😂😂 These types of head to heads are so much more entertaining, keep knocking the content out the park OG 👍🎉

Mini - bad aerodynamics limit the top speed.
350 hp in a mini, Chris must be nuts! xD
I would like to see Project BInki on the channel when its done!
Yeah I think a mini with any more power than 350hp would be just unnecessary…
@@VtecTurboMiniGuy errrrrr yeah.... totally.... definitely not heading north of that after a few tweaks :s Whether it can get to the ground or not we will see ;)
@@HRFSUK obviously do it, I’m close to 500bhp in my mini and I have no traction issues 😆
I’ve been in a 1990 Mini Cooper with the original engine albeit rebuilt, so what 90hp? And that thing was rapid and pretty scary tbh, I couldn’t even imagine 350hp in such a tiny car.
Definitely my favorite mini build I’ve ever seen, that dsg and build quality is so amazing.

An older stock e63 making 2.99 0-60? Wow that is insane considering on paper it says 3.3-3.4.
I think the paper says 3.3/3.4sec to 100kmh which is actually 62,5mph, but that’s still faster than 3.3s…really fast for stock e63…
It's a MUST this one gets a rematch after mini sorts that gearing issue out then on full chat mini all day I reckon haha. Jamie fantastic match up and very entertaining as always. Keep up the great content brother 👏🏽 👊🏽🔥
I’ll bring the family wagon ready for round 2 😂😂
@@amr_motors Your AMG is a weapon, bone stock as well. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@@amr_motors Bang up for it mate :D Awesome day out wasn't it!
The amg driver buzzing off how quick the mini is. True petrol head right there 🔥🔥🔥
You must respect these mini builds truly rapid little machine.just needs that gearing sorting and then a rematch💯
Goes to show how badass that merc really is imho. That Mini is no joke!!! There are no losers here.
Amir knows his cars what a bloke 😂😂😂
that mini is just crazy. its insane what u can do with them
swap engines and spend tens of thousands and its crazy what you can do with anything...
@@rrr32__4 those Zcars minis are still way cheaper than a new Merc, and considering it had almost half the power it's an insane result
@@rrr32__4lol, u kno
the merc guy, prolly the most humble guy to ever get hosted here
I hope the mini driver took Amir for a rip up the strip... Must be mental, but fun.
That Mini has the aerodynamics of a barn door, which probably doesn't help. Epic build though!
Amir just projects happiness 🙌
No matter the outcome of each race, that Mini is the real winner here. That little thing is so cool, the owner and anyone involved in building it has a ton to be proud of! Haha, I love it! Well done everyone.
Grate race by both guys and respect to the mini. But… The W213 E63s is a beast and one of the best cars on the road.

What a piece of engineering that Mini is!!!!!!! Love It.
Great to see both drivers enjoying the races and appreciating the mini.
the e63s is just on a whole different level. A friend of mine also has one. those cars are RAPID
Great video and respect to both drivers. Amir showing true sportsmanship. When I get my supra back on the road (with more power 😊) wouldn’t mind a few runs against that amg and would love to be on OG battles 🤓
amir is class 😂 and so is that mini
Amir so chilled living his best life! The sound of the AMG...oof!
If Mr Bean was a Gymbro.
That Mini is amazing but it goes to show just how awesome the AMG Mercedes is. That AMG is a supercar with more room and 4 doors.
Loved the mini! Bring it back with 100hp more.
Both seem like top lads and good sportsman. Mini looks so much fun! Do think the leaderboards need a split down though by power to weight categories. Top 5 from each or something.

What do you mean by that?
Are they quicker in sport, or run off the power band?

Another top job Jamie great stuff to all involved 👏 amir spoke on everyone's behalf on that one💪
That mini is a beast. Few more tweaks and that’s a monster killer. The 63s is impressive in stock form Even they wanted the mini to win.
What a beautifully built mini 👏👏. E63s is a monster!

merc isnt dual clutch its an auto

@@Vteccer666 " *the merc doesn't accelerate it speeds up* " 💀💀
One of the best yet. Props to both guys. Proper gents
Love to see everyone praying for the mini.
Lovely little rocket.
I think we all can agree that even though the Mini lost, it WON!
The feeling you get in that mini must be insane. Dragging your arse across the runway at them speeds 😂
Am absolutely gobsmacked at the performance of that mini!!! HOLY S***!!! Never seen anything quite like it in my life!!! WHAT A POCKET ROCKET!!!
So in fact the power to weight ratio doesn't say shit about the car performance: E63 AMG rules. 💪
There’s no one stat you can use to compare cars. Power:weight is a good start point but by no means conclusive.
Great fun, love that mini. I'd love to see them race round round a twisty track, it might pip the Merc on track :)
Nav going crazy in the e63s
💀
That launch on the Mini for the first drag race was legendary
Aamir is such a humble guy..
What a race!
That mini is awesome, gonna be a handful in the wet but mental down country lanes
The Mini is a winner no matter what, that Merc stock is a beast tho.
Man the mini held up well indeed! long time viewer suggestion, with the leader boards if they dont make the top 10/15 can you still show what it came against all previous runs/cars? would need a spreadsheet but if youve kept the data that would be awesome to see where the lower powered cars came overall, since top 10 is dominated by the big bois mostly 1000hp plus, we dont get to see how they compared with similar cars from previous episodes unless we remember what times they got. it would just be so cool to see how some of these lower hp cars compare to one another against all previous data and not just the one they are versing in the battle.
A stock E63 did 2.9 seconds 0-60 is amazing. The mini did so well to hang with it.
Epic video this channel is the best putting on all these drag races
That Mini would be fun to drive.
That mini is moving!! Very impressive
E63 owner seems such a great guy
WOW its nice to see my previous e63s in good hands hope the man get the same enjoyment out of it as i did
I reckon the CDL motor would’ve had the edge over this BWA
Sick build either way 💯💯👌🏼🤙🏼
To me that looks like the gear changes are a big difference and where a lot of time was gained by the Merc. Fantastic build, nice race and good sportsmanship from both
Literally just heard the part where the Mini driver talks about the gear holding 😂
I love Mini's with insane engine conversions, what an incredible car!
That mini is mad. This is probably the best episode yet. True David vs Goliath. Great fun
Jamie Jamie Jamie boss man you gotta get that insanely fast & beautiful mini back after their done with the set up 👌👊🏾💪🏽
mann im buzzing watching this
Oh my greatness.😱That mini os not something to sleep on😴🚙Keep up the great videos bro🤙Love watching them.
To see him bouncing around and the amg driver sitting in absolute comfort is funny as hell.
So much more fun in the mini tho...

Bit of tweaking wi the boost and some tuning on the gear shifts and I rekon it would be a win for the little mini, great lookin wee car though, what a build 👌👍
Love me some Sunday morning OG battles 👌🏽🔥
1:07 mini looks cute but also mad😮
I would love to see an all wheel drive build on one of those minis
just noticed, the merc had the EXACT same 1/4 mile as the K20 Mini from last time.
THAT would be a match
dahm this was one of the most fun episodes to watch that mini so cool hahaha just an extra 100hp more would've helped
Man this battle actually gave me a big smile
That Mini is fast. The E63s are monsters even in stock.
By far THE BEST RACE OF 2023 so far go on lads 🙌🏾🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
We need a collaboration....
Z-Cars Mini with an AMR motors tuned K20 🔥🔥
What a good dude in the merc, proper repect to him 👏 nice guy that amir
