BMW drag race are something we all like. It's not just because of the performance of the cars (let's face it, other cars can do those things too) but rather because you really have to struggle to control that rear end.
Especially when we're talking about the E30 M3 and its younger brother, the E46. Sure, the E46 has DSC but as we all know, that system is off even before reaching the drag strip.

Today we're looking at these 2 M3 models, probably the best ever to come out from BMW's assembly lines. Whilst the E46 is powered by a 3.2-liter straight-6 S65 engine with 333 HP, the E30 came around with a 2.3-liter S14 engine that develops around 200 HP.

Sure, the E46 looks like it's going to win, hands down, but remember the iconic status of the E30. Keep that in mind while you're watching the video below. Enjoy!
