The new M3 is an absolute monster. With just a tune+a little E30 it made over 500whp

What is the context??
The speeds were within 1 mph
Time 0.6 sec


Looked like the M had a jump on it and the AMG was reeling it in
The gap was getting smaller

There is no way a 425 HP crank car made over 500 wheel
It makes 375 at the wheels according to rototest
They do a 12 step test 5 sec measurement at each step
ISO and DIN certified
They are not a tuner but an independent testing authority
To go from 375 to over 500 is a >33% gain
That means they cranked the boost up st least 6 psi
Good luck with warranty and longevity
You 're going to need the warranty ... BANG!!!!

Motortrend
M3 12.1/119
M4 12.2/117
Stock C63's have run that
And the AMG is at least 400 lbs heavier

The new M3 makes 400whp stock. It's definitely underrated from the factory.

BMS (famous for 335i tuning) got their hands on one and I think the dyno below speaks for itself. Tune only+E50

It isn't under rated
At least according to a non- vested third party ISO/DIN CERTIFIED TESTING AGENCY

it may be to a vested tuner

Both those cars are owned by ModeCarbon. They lined them up but the driver on c63 had a bad start. I will let ModeCarbon chime in on this as they were driving these cars. I do want to note that the M3 was a manual and driven by a EX PRO RACER. I was at the event and witnessed this. Hope this clears some things here...

They do tend to fly a little under the radar, but if you are a BMW enthusiast of any kind and into modding, you would for sure know who Burger Tuning is. They are pretty knowledgeable on the BMW platforms.

Flying 1/4 mile from a roll? ???

I modded my cars, I have since learned it is about as useful as a drug habit lol
And I did not want the 'cheapest'
You get what you pay for lol
Never heard of booger nor of their cult following
Besides just because you don't do something doesn't mean you never heard of it
Ever been to the moon? Heard of the moon landing?
I get almost every mag out there from evo to eurotuner
Bmw tuner from gb, all of them
Nope, never heard of them
Heard of Nowack, basically do engineering for M gmbh like AMG did for MB
Bored/stroked/blue printed 720 hp 9000 rpm NA V10
THAT is tuning... Not some engine damaging piggy back signal offset device

Motortrend dyno at K&N
379 whp basically in line with the rototests numbers and measured losses of 8-10% of modern BMW's

Its ok buddy you dont have to google about burger tuning. Yes there have been cases where the engine has gotten messed up. But i have plenty of friends that have had their factory stock engines blow up on their mustangs and other american cars.

I wasn't planning on it buddy
I will never have need of their services
Especially the one that blows the engine up lol
You know 'plenty' of people who blew up stock engines?
You realize it was your buddy's fault not bad design, don't you?

I appreciate the M for what it is, not what others want me to BELIEVE it is

I still want to know the race parameters, the 'set up'
Without that the video is meaningless beyond:
About even at start(?)
M gets jump...pro driver vs bad start
AMG reels it in
Delta time 0.6 sec out of 10+
Delta velocity 1 mph out of ~136
M is 400 lbs lighter and purportedly delivers more power whp 400 vs 380 (modded)

What can we deduce from this?

To any new M owner: congrats. But my car has an exhaust that doesn't need to be played on the stereo.

At the end of the day, nothing from BMW stirs my blood. Whatever happened to "the ultimate driving machine?" M is for marketing.

Ingenieur, I appreciate your search for factual data, but there's a real trend : the new M3/4 is severely underrated from the factory. I don't know how, why, how come some magazines have it tied with the C63 507, but those are real world proofs.

BTW here's another video where you can see the old vs new M3 on a (heartbreaking) dyno:

Check at mark 6.28 to see how much more power the new gen makes compared to the old gen.

Try to find a post where ingenieur isn't hating on, bashing or discounting the new M3's power. Impossible.
