BMW M3 Touring vs Merc C63 Hybrid Drag Race! Best of three and rolling start

This is the drag race many performance estate fans have been waiting for! We're putting two titans of the German automotive world head-to-head: the brand new BMW M3 Competition Touring with M xDrive versus the Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance hybrid.

The M3 Touring brings BMW's S58 twin-turbo inline-six power, paired with a clever AWD system, finally in the practical wagon body style enthusiasts craved. The C63 S E Performance represents a paradigm shift for AMG – a high-tech F1-inspired hybrid system delivering immense torque and AWD traction, but with a smaller combustion engine.

Today, we settle the straight-line speed argument. We conduct a series of standing start drag races (best of three) to test launch control, traction, and outright acceleration off the line. Then, we switch to a rolling start race to see which machine pulls harder through the gears when traction is less of a factor.

Can the purebred M power hold off the complex hybrid might of the AMG? Hit play, find out, and tell us which you'd choose in the comments!
