Mercedes A45 AMG vs. BMW M235i - which is the best driver's car?
video description
Come on guys, get serious.
There was 2 tenths in it. For road cars that's nothing. He could probably match or beat the 49. 7 from the BMW if he drove the Merc round another lap.
Similarly, if he drove the BMW around a lap or two he could likely beat that time again.
OK so the BMW is only rear wheel drive vs the Mercs 4WD but still, this is too close for the video to proclaim -The BMW is quicker-.
I own a BMW (E46 330ci Clubsport) and as much as I'd like the BMW to win, this test was neither conclusive nor does it determine which is the 'best' car. 'Best' is subjective and down to personal preference. It always will be.
'Fastest' is a different thing altogether and this video shows nothing.

I have an M135i and boy is it crying out for an LSD. I've kept it stock (apart from the previous owner changing the front grill. If I do decide to do any modifications (which I don't plan to, I would: (1)Fit an LSD, (2)Upgrade the Exhaust and (3)Some sort of plug and play power mod.

That BMW is amazing value for money. If you can't afford an M car, I reckon the M235i is the best thing. Give it very minor modifications and it will be faster than an M2, M3, M4 easily. That is a great car if you're considering buying a reasonably priced track/weekend car.

I do live in Canada and I bought the 2015 M235i with Xdrive. And four snow tires on rims. Not the ideal winter car because of the power and torque (except in ECO mode where it feels like it has no power at all) In most conditions, the BMW is amazing.

I'm not a race car driver but I watched a lot of them to know when you push a car to its limit the car will under steer surly.
And you're the worst one I've seen.

6 years later I still drive an M-Lite (M140i.
They are bloody brilliant, and are complete all-rounders, jack-of-all trades.
If you want a track car buy an M2.

I think this guy needs some more driving lessons. I mean, if you're gonna be reviewing cars on the track. you better have more driving skills that he does.

AMG: -It won't give me the gear-. no wonder, he has it set to shift manually, not to automatic. OR perhaps he was trying to shift down to a gear too low.
