BMW fans, this one’s for you! We’ve got Mat in the all-new BMW M3 Touring, and he’s facing off against the BMW X5M Competition!

So let’s see how the two compare. Starting with the M3 Touring, it’s powered by a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six that can deliver 510hp and 650Nm of torque. It powers all four wheels and tips the scales at 1,865kg.

Then we have the X5M. Powered by a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8, it’s up on power compared to the M3, and is able to put down 625hp and 750Nm of torque. It’s up on weight compared to the M3, too, coming in at 2,410kg.

So will the huge weight difference prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
