We’ve got our hands on the BMW M3 CS Touring, and it’s going up against Mat’s long-term BMW M5 Touring test car! The question is, how different are these two long-bodied BMWs? Let’s check out the stats… The BMW M5 Touring houses a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8, coupled with an electric motor. The two combine to produce 727hp and 1,000Nm, and this power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox. All in it costs from £116,160, and it’s incredibly heavy, tipping the scales at 2,475kg! Then we come to the M3 CS Touring. Under the bonnet, it ‘only’ has a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six, and this creates 550hp and 650Nm. Power is once again sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it costs almost the same as the M5, costing £120,600. However, it’s a whole lot lighter than the M5, weighing in at 1,850kg. So the M5 has more power, and an electric motor - but it weighs almost 650kg more than the M3! Can you pick a winner? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE! Ultimate BWM M drag race: https://bit.ly/BMW-M-Drag-Race-0905
