Jamie from ‘Officially Gassed – OG’ uploaded a video on his YouTube channel that involved three BMW M cars. The suspects were a tuned 650-horsepower M140i, a 590-horsepower M2, and a 580-horsepower BMW M3 Competition. All of them were unique in their ways and hold accolades that make them a sure winner. But, there can only be one winner, and the best way to find that out is to pit them against each other.

How Differently Are The Cars Tuned And Customized?

BMW M140i

The BMW M140i is powered by a 3.0-liter, six-cylinder turbocharged engine that makes around 340 horses in stock form. Power is routed to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic gearbox.

The mods on this build include:

- Pure 800 turbo

- Port methanol injection system

- MMR charge pipe

- 4.5-inch downpipe

- Wavetrac limited-slip differential

- Custom map

BMW M2

Next in line is a BMW M2. This is also powered by a 3.0-liter, turbocharged six-cylinder mill that makes 410 ponies in the standard form. Power is channeled to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.

The mods include:

- Stage 3.3 6159 turbo

- Supra high-pressure fuel pump

- BMS performance intake

- CSF intercooler

- Scorpion exhaust system

- Methanol injection system

- MVM custom gearbox tune

- Custom ECU software

It is also the world’s fastest quarter-mile M2 currently at 10.9 seconds.

BMW M3 Competition

The final contender is the M3 Competition that churns out 503 horses from the same 3.0-liter six-pot turbo mill. This, too, is a rear-wheel-drive car that’s mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox.

This isn’t vastly modified like its rivals. It features:

- Stage 1 ECU tune

- Scorpion axle-back exhaust system

- MVM intake

There Is A Weight Difference

There’s a huge difference with the weights also. With such mods, you would expect them to go all haywire. But, no surprises here as the smallest vehicle is the lightest and vice versa.

0-60 MPH Test

The first round was the 0-60 mph testing. All cars went up individually to see how they’d fare in their 0-60 mph sprints. The M140i didn’t have the best traction starting off, but it took just 4.29 seconds, which isn’t bad by any means. The M2 had a much better kickdown and was much quicker than the M140i, taking 3.52 seconds to 60 mph. The M3 also had good traction when it started, which helped it touch 60 mph in 3.74 seconds.

- Second Place – M3 Competition

- Third Place – M140i

Quarter-Mile Test

Here also every car went on a solo run. The M140i struggled to get traction this time, too. It took 11.95 seconds to reach the quarter-mile. The M2 had a little wheel spin, but still did pretty decent. It took 11.38 seconds to the finish line. Finally, there was the M3 Competition which finished the run in 11.73 seconds.

- Third Place – M140i

Drag Race

Finally, they got together for a conventional standing drag race. The M140i, surprisingly, got the best start, followed by the M2 and the M3 Competition. It didn’t take long for the M2 to leave them both in the dust. The M3 Competition kept fighting for traction all the way till the end.

- Second Place – M140i

- Third Place – M3 Competition

Rolling Race

The last round was the rolling race from 50 mph. This race also started just like the standing drag race. The M140i had the best kickdown, followed by the M2 and the M3 Competition. What changed, however, was the end result. The M2 couldn’t get past the M140i this time, thus giving the latter its first victory.

- First Place – M140i

- Second Place – M2

- Third Place – M3 Competition

They raced again but the result was the same. The M3 Competition didn’t lose by a huge margin this time, though. It was quite close to the M2 at the finish line. The M140i’s power-to-weight ratio played out in its favor here.

- First Place – M140i

- Second Place – M2

- Third Place – M3 Competition

If you were to pick one of these cars as your daily driver, which one would it be – the M140i, the M2, or the M3 Competition? Watch this fun video below and share your thoughts with us in the comments section.
