This family rivalry is decided by which Bimmer coupe?

The BMW 4 Series lineup, aside from the controversial faces, is an interesting piece of work, especially when you consider the new M4 Competition, which is the most powerful model in the line-up, and the outgoing model. Trend is that newer models are more powerful than their predecessors, and the full-featured M4 is more powerful than its non-M counterpart, the M440i.

But that doesn’t mean the new BMW 4 will be faster in a quarter mile drag race. This Carwow video demonstrates the differences between them – both in standing quarter-mile races and rolling races.

The M4 Competition was up against the M440i before, and the result was unexpected, all thanks to M440i’s all wheel advantage over M4 Competition’s rear-wheel treatment – even though there is a large gap in their power outputs.

Now it’s time for you to compare the M4s. The new M4 is much more powerful than the one before. The old model is lighter than the new one and has a dual-clutch transmission.

These facts are enough to show that the Drag Race results don’t surprise us. Although the M440i is faster off the line, the M4 wins the standing quarter-mile due to its power advantage. In the rolling race, the M3 Competition with its DCT outperforms the M4 and its traditional torque-converter auto.

What does this mean? When talking about performance, there are many factors to consider, especially when it comes to a Bimmer. The M4 Competition has faster lap times while the M440i is more traction and can be stopped at stop lights better. The M4 Competition is faster than the M4 Competition, but the M440i’s traction makes it a better contender at a stoplight.

The M4 competition is also available. It’s open to all. It seems that everything is settled.
