The BMW 40d engine is really fantastic and a bit underrated. In any real world scenario it will come out on top. It is not by chance that BMW put it in the new 8-series. -
Matt once said -Diesel is only for saving fuel-. While he is correct that you do save a ton of fuel it is far from the only reason to choose a diesel car over a petrol car. Though I find it a pretty amazing that a 3. 0 litre, 6 cylinder twin turbo engine that can do 0-60 in 3. 8 seconds also will give you 47 MPG. My primary reason for choosing a diesel sports car is the versatility it offers. At highest gear the engine is barely audible and the ride super smooth and calm. Kick down a few gears and the car instantly forces you into the seat! -
I compared the petrol brother (M440i) to my car before buying and just could not accept the constant high revs of the engine, even in ECO mode. yes it is fun on track days or -inspired- sunday rides but for everyday use, long trips, city traffic and towing it is not an option. Petrol engines today are IMO only for dedicated sports cars. In any other application a diesel will be the smarter choice. -
I am not considering electric here since they are still not a serious choice to any ICE car (too many limitations for me at least. -

Omg. how come that civic can call type R. My civic EG9 perform much better that this civic. I-m using sleeved b series b18 vtec turbo and I-m not using civic engine head n block instead using Honda CR-V engine head and block which it can hold more power for it. My civic is more powerful than this civic type R. Total cost for modified the engines performance and including the car price is cost lest than $10k. All the parts and half cuts of b18 vtec engine direct import from Japan. Dont ever try using b20 vtec turbo because it got lots problems. My civic is modified become street race car.

Why does this fool keep comparing the Type R to vehicles he knows it-s gonna lose to off the line? Automatic/DSG/AWD/Electric/Diesel cars with way more horsepower VS FWD manual trans that-s built for the circuit? Did a Type R ran over your puppy or something? I can-t wait for your next video Rimac Nevera VS Bugatti Chiron VS Type R. What a fool

I have to say, that e-tron looks amazing from that rear view shot at the beginning of the video (when they're lined up for the drag race. I think it's because of those alloys and the evening light + the light bar lit up
-edit: I've just watched the part of the video where they actually talk about this hahahah -

Idk If it would be the same in that x4, but I use to have a f30 328d and I found that if you short shift once you-re going faster and use the torque it was much faster. For example, I-d launch then once the car shifted to 3 I-d use the paddles and shift closer to 4500rpms rather than 5500ish

Got wasted by one of these X4 thingys the other night, I wouldn't have minded if I was in my old V70 D5, instead I was in my E61 M5, yes he launched at the lights and I tried to react to him, but, still, wow! I was impressed.

When you put all the power avalible in the lower gears from a diesel engine with a bunch of torque then yeah- that things gonna fly off the line. Not to mention its 600 kilos lighter than the E-Tron lol

Which one would I have? I'll have the best-looking one, which imo is the Civic Type R (ik some people out there don't like it that much) - better than the ugly Beemer or the mediocre, OK-ish Audi.

I would like to see Stage 1 Peugeot 308 Gti by peugeot sport vs stock Type R, Golf Gti, stage 1 Hyundai i30N. As that would be fair race I think as it would be near enough same power.
