Here’s a BMW 4 Series drag race you didn’t realise you needed… Until today!
We’ve got Ben Collins lining up in a new BMW M4, and he’s facing off against Mat in an old BMW 430d?!
Seems like a foregone conclusion, right?! Well trust us - this is no regular 4 Series! It may still have a 3-litre straight six under the bonnet, but it’s had several thousand pounds spent on it and as a result, it now produces an eye-watering 462hp and 1017Nm of torque!!
As for the M4, well that’s stock, so it arrives with a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six that can put down 510hp and 650Nm.
They’re both RWD, and the 430d is around 200kg lighter than the M4. But surely a diesel can’t beat an all-new M4, right?! There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

I really want to see what the 430 does in dry conditions
430 in dry conditions even can match against Murcielago LP640.
An xdrive version with same tune. Would be an absolute weapon
@@purwantiallan5089 in your dreams. The lambo would humiliate it.
@@bigduphusaj162 not humiliating in the 1/4 mile. but surely on the long road
Not good, watch officially gassed video on the diesel vs m4. In a diesel the actual power out down is a lot less due to the gearing. It’s better compared to the f82 m4 at 430-450 bhp.
I'm quite impressed with how well the diesel gets off the line
Well with over 1000 Nm of torque, it would get of the line quick, however I am too impressed by the fact that it didn't have much wheelspin.
It's got me wondering about how well a European retuned SAAB 9-3 Twin turbo diesel would do against an American SAAB 9-3
@@Presto_001 the TDI engine of M4 gonna boost it by 58bhp.
@@toku30 SAAB 9-3 not gonna match Ford Mustang.
more torque
Darkside really know their diesel tuning, had my seat ibiza fr 2.0tdi normally 143bhp and 320nm, they managed to get it to 197bhp and 480nm! Had the car for 6 years no issues whatsoever
From your knowledge, does a tune last forever? Or do you need to re-tune the car after sometime?
@@maximc9033 tunes last forever, most tunes will be ok for the life of the car, however as engines wear and mileage increases a custom tune like I had really maxed out the turbo/flywheel pushing everything hard, I would tone things down a notch on high mile cars
Well within 2.0 tdi capability and likely a map and egr delete....these guys have cam swapped, mapped, exhaust and loads of other stuff !
@@aboddle8878 at the time the car had limited development, it was around 10years ago now, but what they can get out of diesel engines is pretty insane
@@maximc9033 i have a 535d e60 with downpipes, custom exhaust, kn air filter, hybrid single turbo instead of the twin turbo, its on 2.8 bar, m550d fuel injector, m550d water pump, Wagner ic has a remap to 530hp and 1100nm and its going well, just change the oil and tires, michellin 305 85 r19
I am a diesel fan so this was extremely entertaining ! Well done gentleman.
Hi Mat, small suggestions from me. Request your editing team to put speedometer view of both cars in a corner, so viewers can see top speed achieved and at what speed being overtaked.
I think the difficulty here is that during the drag race they use multiple angles and sometimes go back a few seconds in the drag race to show different perspectives of the race.
Maybe they could do their normal edit and then leave in a single shot 1 cut of the drag race with speed overlays and other data.
the clips are not chronological
@@b17blg no difficulty, only the purchase of an app “dragy”
@@souljayt8411 That doesn’t help with the editing does it? It gives you the data, and May uses his specialist timing gear on all the other videos so they have that at their disposal which is miles better than a crapppy draggy appy 😂😂
@@b17blg this is suggesting they can't simply add the speedo clip into the rest just like they already do
We need more tuned drag races and drone footage like this!!! Also, for drag races, can you add the 0-60mph times and braking distances in the videos as visuals as well as a speed trap at the 1/4-mile mark, if you can. I speak on behalf of everyone watching these videos. Thank you.
This comment needs more upvotes
It won't be fair for other similar channels if this is to happen, we will just watch here..😅😅😅
I gave my upvote regardless..🤭
@@ricric3025 1000 upvotes from me.
Yes, 1/4 times always include speed, it gives a sense on how fast it really is
100-200kmh would be nice to see too.
Darkside really are exceptional.. that power, no smoke and the mapping between the box and the engine.. perfect
No smoke? We must have been watching different videos
@@beastofackworth excess fuel has to be added to get pops and bangs when revving at stationary. When it's moving it hardly smokes for a highly modified diesel.
Darkside Developments can tune it with almost no smoke but you loss a little bit of down low torque as spool time is increased.
The soot on the back of the car says a different story
that was probably the most interesting and at the same time thrilling race so far
and its hilarious how Ben always looks a bit bored. Awesome dude!
I’d love to see Jeremy, James and Richard as guest drivers for a drag race 😁 Just one drag race please 🥹
Jeremy is a really fun guy.
Don't forget James

@@saitama9994 bro, I could've sworn that James wasn't there before 💀
How many of us is still a fan of the previous generation M4? I am!
Me
The F82 M4 is THE M4!!!
It's definitely better looking than the new one
It's the best looking M4 in my opinion. Best M4 BMW made in terms of looks, between it and the current one.
And when the next generation comes out you’ll prefer the current one. It’s the same old story.
I had the 430d 2016 plate for 3 years from new. Amazing car, and surprisingly family friendly with the hatchback boot. Excellent steering, tremendous torque. It's best suited as a GT for long cruises. And of course... it looks stunning in the lowered 430d guise. Xdrive versions are 3-4cm higher and look jacked up and less sporty, so either stick with the 430d for the 6 cylinder or get the xdrive and get some after market springs.
Most fun drag race video to date, thanks for the content!
I’d love to see a collaboration with Alex , Ben and Jeremy Clarkson all drag racing with Mat 😂
There's no getting clarkson out of his farm for less than amazon is paying him to do the grand tour
@@chakibbaiker9768 yeah I suppose 😕 would be cool to see though
@@DJ-Lee_S yep. And hopefully Hammond also involved in those drag races.
@@chakibbaiker9768 dozens of cash.
they could get hammond easily
That previous gen 4 series looks stunning!
@Brian Lee because it almost solves the nostril issue?
@Brian Lee facts!
I may be biased as I owned an individual green F32 in the past! One of the best car I've owned to date, miss it. Only got rid because I needed something more practical as I had a little one on the way
@@rubalouba g82 isn’t that bad at all I really like the grills. the non m grills they look ugly without the bar in the middle
Rear looks like shit 💩 compared with new one
@Brian Lee this is not true at all. Isle of Man green and Aventurine red are amazing
Unbelieveable work from Dark Developments. Great job with this sleeper.
Love a tuned diesel.
Got an E92 330D m-sport running 300bhp and 630Nm with an XHP stage 3 gearbox map. Love it. Quicker than most things on the road and still gets close to 50mpg on the run😎😎
A drag race we didn't expect but absolutely needed.
Loved this. I have this generations 3 series 330d and I know it isn't special but cool to know what the engine is capable of.
More of The Stig please! Great to see Ben on our screens again 🙂
Always appreciate the daily uploads, keep it up Matt.
Matt is the man bro.
This is the type of drags I'm in love with! Matt and the team, please do more of these! Sure thing Lambos vs Ferraris vs Telsas vs "other top-tier-car-brand" is splendid, but this.... this is love in the nutshell!
I once owned an 2011 E90 335d. Loved it. One of the best cars from stop light to stop light. The torque was amazing, and rhe diesel was so smooth. Back then they had egr issues it carbon buildup was a real problem.
That feeling when you edge past the STIG! 😆😆 Good show Matt!
I mean ... 1k NM ... on the rear only ... on a wet track.
Went pretty well considering the conditions ! x)
The M4 with TDI engine seem interesting. It now has 422bhp.
@@purwantiallan5089 tdi?
Always great to see the builds from the Darkside chaps!
Yes ! Race Ben and get more of Ben on the show for sure ! Man’s a legend!
Only a bit of fun. Thanks, Matt & the Stig, for good natured & entertaining content.
Congratulations

Do we REALLY need to say anything after introducing Ben Collins any longer? We all know what he did. His current work and personality can stand on its own. Great video as always. Thank you 😊
1017Nm is just absolutely nuts on that 430d!!!
It's not an M dude 🤣
and illegal
@@steineins It's not illegal. Lol
@@jackl517 DPF removed so it's 100% illegal, but the rest can be legal. Not without the DPF removed.
@@jackl517 dpf has been removed. Would fail mot and would not be road legal
The drone shorts are amazing! We want more drone shorts in future drag races!
"That's interesting" 😅 love that feeling when you discover stuff about the car on the go, love it
As a BMW fan, though the new one is growing on me, the original 4 series is such a great looker. Subtle and classy with a hint of aggression.
Also, It’s unbelievable how a diesel can put that much power and torque out.
we need more tuned diesels on carwow
😂
🤣
We do indeed, more realistic cars
No thanks
no diesel belongs in trucks
Really enjoying Ben on the vids Matt,... both Ben and Yianni are great assistants on these
You should have a drag race with all the regulars in the same car, be interesting to see who wins.
With manual gearbox.
Seriously I look forward to your race videos keep it up
Agree. And hopefully 5 way Super GT300 Drag Race.
Great race!
Really impressive tuning done on the diesel … can’t imagine the fun to drive it … and that sound 😍
Congratulations

Them boys at darkside are magicians, it's worth following their channel.
Amazing drag races - As Always.
Amin YRA. U got it.
i have a 430d with the xdrive, not tuned or anything but the launch is insane, would be interesting to see how that fairs against an m4
Best drag race you’ve done!
This is the best place to come for this type of content. CarWow smashes other no 1/4 times channels. 😁
Damn, this has got to be the most impressive diesel i've seen in a while.
I've been on the diesel hype train for the past 2 years. I own a 15' TDI golf sport wagon. Absolutely LOVE the car. Averaging 40mpg, 500-540 a full tank (depending on how I drive)
Bone stock it's really fun being quick off the line, and torquey. It's not fast.
But the mods available especially the interchangeability. I hope to make it an awd with either the alltracks drive train or a used Audi.
My dad's tdi A6 is a BEAST.
@Josh Spades meanwhile my 400bhp+ 435D bores me
Never been a BMW fan but I’ve loved their diesels ever since I rode in my friend’s modded/tunes 2011 335d
Mat thank you so much for this insane video!
Of course we wanna see Matt race Ben around a track!
Yep. And even against Clarence "Razor" Callahan.
Of course, it'd be awesome 👍👍👍
On foot
Those drone shots are lit 🔥
Previous gen 4series/m4 looks awesome
Love the drone shots, really nice touch. Sending love from Egypt

Our saviour
Thanks
Thnq
shush real viewers watch the whole video
Great comparison! I can only confirm the diesel power myself from my F32 435d xDrive 2014 Stage 2 450hp and 880nM of torque! Blasting fast
Mods ? Where from
Really happy to see Ben Collins again!
I would love to see that same race on dry conditions
Why would be other then!?is m4 on wooden wheels here
God I love the darkside diesel stuff. They've done a beautiful audi a5 with like 500bhp and it sounds like a r35 gtr!
This was the best drag race. Very interesting to see some tuned less powerful cars against series production powerful cars. ✅
This is the exact video i was looking for
For some reason since the e92 i always prefer a tuned x30-x35 than the M ones. A lot cheaper and with the right mods you have a great package.
That’s maybe because the M3 engines after the E92 were far less bespoke than previous generations
I mean, that should be the reverse, no? In the E92 gen, the M is slower than the 335i after it gets a 100$ tune, but the M stays the same unless it gets forced induction, after market SC is like 10k..on the other hand the gen after the E92, they're all turbo'd six cylinders, the M and the 340 and 335.So the difference between them is literally just "the lesser version is less powerfu stock, but you can gain good gains, the better version is the same but more powerful stock and can have even better gains, the best is etc. And so on.
There's really no reason to get a x30-x35-x40 instead of the M after the e92 gen if you have the money, whereas the difference between E92 gen trims is a fun but slow NA V8 (M) or the straight line king twin turbo I6 (335i n54) that can easily be faster than the V8 M3. They're basically two cars for two completely different audiences, as for the new bmws, it's basically just better trim=better car, simple as that, no huge difference just better in all categories, more power, more potential, better undercarriage.
What kind of person would choose a 4 cylinder bmw over a 6 cylinder M engine if he has the money and is into cars? 🤷
@@yuropean_eunion2133 i mostly agree but i never said its worth buying a 4 cylincer bmw. I said its worth buying the non M inline 6 with turbo.
@@ArisHDi all the new x30's are 4 cylinders past the e92 era
Would be really nice if you'll could add more parts of you'll showing the speed the cars are reaching in the drag and rolls
Agree man.
Matt in the car saying come one come on! With his head back and forth was so funny😂😂😂
Hi Matt, your videos are brilliant. Simply brilliant. One tiny thing - could you add the 0-60mph from your VBox/draggy box time at the same time as showing the 1/4 mile time. Thanks:)
Or show on the side what mph theyre going at would help
Im a big fan of Diesel power so great to see this! I bet he also got 40 MPG as well....the best bit of course is to see Matt's little face when he's winning :)
The diesel power is also strong enough to pull those
the perfect diesel car
Doubt it. My 335d does 35 max with around 370hp.
@@levimiller2551It's all In how you drive and journey length, especially in cold temperatures . My f3x 335d will only get 37mpg around town at best but when I was commuting last year doing 50 mile round trips it would get 48mpg if I took it easy around 60 mph down country roads .
@@levimiller2551Also who tuned your BM ?
Quite impressed from 250 ish horsepower to 400 plus power plant 😮, definitely doing this to my 330d now 😊
Trust me Don't! They're already chocolate
@@bigduphusaj162 lol yh mate it’s out of warranty just plan to do a stage 1 or 2 would not throw 8k at it , it’s worth less than that lol
@@bigduphusaj162what is a good engine then in your opinion?
What you want)) You can get easily 700+ hp from old OM606 Merc’s diesel engine
If it's the older M57 diesel then crack on the newer N57 like in this video have chocolate main bearings.
Darkside Developments tuned my Scirocco TDI and remapped the DSG as well. Drives so nice now with effortless "OoOmPh" on tap.
Would be interesting to see how a 435d would do in this contest as it’s Xdrive. I have one and would be willing to lend it for this purpose 🎉
Drag Race is nice from time to time, but I value reviews much more 🤩
Yes. Deserved tons more value for it.
You can really see that Stig is actually an awesome driver! ❤
Almost like driving has been his job for 20 years.
@@jd32k never noticed that on Top Gear
I’ve got the 430D and I love it some machine! M4 is a dream though sick motor!
I think Ben would do great just having a studio segment discussing the cars he ran on top gear around the track, so many classics!
I want to see what these mods on a 435d X-drive would be looking like 😍😍😍
Can we just appreciate that's only a 430d and not a 435d! That's a weapon
430d imo has 427bhp.
The fact it's a different turbo makes not different if it's 430 or 335d
There’s no difference with it’s aftermarket turbo
@@ronanmcnamee2008 but the 435 has xdrive
@@spookyreaper1702 of course there is, the 35d is bi-turbo, the 30d is single turbo.
Cool test!
Loved the serious of this video
Can anything in life be worse that looking over at Matt while he's beating you in a race?
Really impressive for the 430d.
Well a diesel is interesting. Especially seeing that diesel was probably putting up way better economics....
@@gercobosch2870I have a stage 2 435D xDrive (AWD). People always ask me “why didn’t you just buy an M4?” at car meets and this video is the perfect explanation. I’m not even £30k deep into the car+mods and I smoke F8x M3/M4s… while still maintaining 50mpg on the highway and about 38mpg combined. My maintenance costs are ridiculously low because my diesel is the most reliable BMW I’ve ever owned. My first BMW was a 550i GT with the TT 4.4L V8 and my second was a 330e iPerformance with the 2.0T up front and electric motor in the rear. Buying the 435D was the best decision I ever made.
@@gercobosch2870 people tend to still underestimate diesels nowadays when in reality they’re no longer just eco or hard working engines… I got to have a go in a 2021 Audi S4 last year and honestly the bi-turbo 3L in that was absolutely insane and sounded nothing like what you’d expect from a Diesel. Sure it wasn’t tuned and I dare say the RS4 would beat it, but I don’t think it would be all that drastic of a difference as one would expect.
Think the only thing that would put me off that 430d is the amount of smoke that bellows out of it and how much that’ll cover the back end… too many boy racers around my neck of the woods causing problems, developed a bit of a dislike for the telltale Passats and the like with soot black rear ends
@@barghest9810 yeah I don't like the smoke either. But probably they deleted the DEF/adblue. Which would burn away said smoke.
@@gercobosch2870 bmw does not use adblue
Nice one Darkside👊
Yes, we want to see you race with Ben

Love these British tests of who’s traction control is better.
You guys racing would be pure entertainment, although he’d completely destroy you😂
Yes.
Would love to see the results in the dry!
Impressive 💪🏽
For people not understanding why the 1017nm torque did not gap the petrol . The petrol torque spread is very wide while the stated 1017nm of torque will only be present for a very short moment
But why is that?
@@vladislavdimitrov4646just how diesels work, only really in power from 2k to 4.3k ish . I have one of these engines and they’re great but the max power isn’t there the whole rev range
Thats not really true though, its because torque does not matter for acceleration, only horsepower does.
@@vladislavdimitrov4646 It isnt, really. Se my comment above.
@@lewdyson4744 You are right about the torque curve, but that doesnt matter for acceleration though. It all passes through a gearbox in the end.

Id love some tuned daily drivers in a drag race. Like serento, passat , a4 , v70 like actual "Normal" cars 😅
Yes. Normal but in semi upgraded state.
Then watch officially gassed....
@DaBawski what ? All I see are videos of either high-performance cars or supper moded ones where in that is mildly moded everyday cars ????
I agree, v70/s60, Accord 2.4, Toyota camry v6 etc
It would be interesting to see how close they are to the official figure.
I have just turned my X5 e53 3.0d and it's transformed into an animal the 218 bhp is now 288 I've cat backed the exhaust and performance air filter the stage one remap with egr deleat the touque is now 580 acceleration and pull is rapid and I am now in love with this x5 it ticks so many box's
Great video.....I'd love to see the 340d v something similar from Audi or the equivalent 3 series (touring)
I'd love to see a small diesel comparison... VW golf GTD, Focus ST diesel, BMW 120d

I want to see how these two would perform on track
Stage 3 330d F31 here. Very few cars get close on a run. And it still returns 40mpg. Unreal engine and gearbox combination.
What have you done to it if you don't mind me asking? Who was the job done by and what kind of costs we are talking about? I have the same car and I'm very curious about it. I looked up DD and some of the reviews just put me off from using them if I'm honest.
Great control from Ben at 12:06!
Thanks ! 😉😜
Carwow should review more diesels as they are getting very rare these days.
Also, there are a lot of fans of the torkey diesel out there.
Rare for a reason 😂
Rare? Most cars here in europe are diesel.
Not rare at all. I even have one. Mostly because of the torque though.
@@paradox5556 Yeah maybe there are existing Diesel cars but most manufacturers have now stopped making Diesel cars. That's why they are getting rare and maybe we will never see new diesel car.
So happy to see The Stig in Carwow drag races!
