The BMW M3 vs M5 drag race puts two high-performance estate cars head-to-head to answer one big question: how did BMW get it so wrong? In this high-stakes showdown, the BMW M3 CS Touring faces off against the mighty BMW M5 Touring, combining raw power, hybrid technology, and serious performance engineering in a straight-line battle that challenges expectations.

On paper, the BMW M5 Touring dominates with its 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 hybrid producing 727hp and 1,000Nm, but its massive 2,475kg weight raises doubts against the lighter and more agile M3 CS Touring. With a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six delivering 550hp and a much lower weight of 1,850kg, this drag race becomes a perfect test of power versus weight. The result reveals whether hybrid muscle truly beats lightweight performance when both BMW estates go full throttle. For more content like this one follow us also on Facebook, Pinterest or Instagram!
