Once again, Edmunds uses a RWD M4 to compete against an AWD EV.

Not sure what's the purpose of this kind of U-drag.
a 5233 lb car vs a 3786 lb one??!! AWD EV vs RWD ICE?
i5 is 38% heavier than M4
i5 is 10" longer than M4
The only common thing between them is the brand name

You watched it though and most of it right?

Drags race videos are the latest attempt to game the YouTube algo for retaining viewership throughout a shorter duration

I noticed your footer and am impressed with the colors! If possible, I'd love to see a picture of each vehicle so that we can admire the rainbow of colors you picked over the years.

They be drag racing for fun! Absolutely no need for racing those two cars and not much scientific value either.

They’re literally just for fun. The guy from Edmunds on the Carcast podcast talks about them all the time. He straight up said they are for fun and to compare cars that wouldn’t normally be compared.

We’re all entitled to our opinion on if it’s entertaining or not. But that’s all it is.

Agreed! High entertainment factor and low practical value.

When BMW launches an electric quad-motor M3/M4 with second-to-none torque vectoring envelope, this car will be compared to almost anything else with four wheels.

Whenever BMW does release such Quad-Motor M3/M4, they best be considering a minimum of 700Hp,...and up to 800-900Hp. If not, why would someone consider the M3/M4 over a 600Hp dual motor Model 3.

I think it’s interesting to see how the sedan does against the competition coup from a performance perspective. A performance sedan is a more challenging engineering task. Not comparable. But an interesting comparison.

That’s the point. How does one of BMWs electric performance sedans stack up to Competition coup. Not too badly from what I saw.
