Video: 600 HP BMW M4 Drag Races 630 HP G-Power E92 M3

Just earlier today we told you about how different the BMW M4 feels like when getting out of a BMW E92 M3. Out of the commentary posted by one of our readers, one thing is definitely evident: the M4 is the better car, hands down but the engine in the M3 has more character. It’s not fair to compare those two engines though because one of them is atmospheric and one uses forced induction and yet, people still do that.

In the video below, however, we’re looking at a BMW E92 M3 that has been modified by the guys over at G-Power. If you read us often you probably know that they are usually developing cars with serious amounts of power, even signing off on some outrageous builds involving the S85 5-liter mill of the E60 M5 in some cases. G-Power also took care of the S65 4-liter V8 on the E92 M3 and created some supercharger kits for it, so that it can keep up with the S55 mill on the new generation M3 and M4.

Therefore, the car in the footage below is said to have some 630 HP at its disposal coming from the 4-liter supercharged V8 under the hood. By the looks of things, the E92 is also an automatic which means it comes with an earlier version of the 7-speed dual clutch gearbox used on the M4. That should make for an interesting combination, to be honest, as the M3 should be quite fast off the line, provided its driver knows how to keep it in check.

The M4 on the other hand is not stock either. It comes with Pure turbos which increase the air flow and, in turn, provide more power to the wheels via the engine. The S55 3-liter straight six mill in the M4 is claimed to have some 600 HP at its disposal, a hefty increase over the stock 425 HP of the M4. Who will win? You’ll have to watch to find out. The 600 HP M4 is also taking on some other worthy competitors in this video too, in case you’re curious.
