Change your car with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Change-Your-Car-19-12 There’s no denying it – modern cars are getting wider & longer! And this is proving to be a problem for motorists when buying a new car. For example, while cars have increased in size, factors such as car parking spaces have stayed the same – and this could prove problematic for drivers! To prove this, we’re about to put two cars from the same range together in a series of challenges throughout central London to see just how their sizes have grown, and what sort of problems they may encounter when driving in a city. For the old car, we’ve got our hands on a 20-year-old E46 BMW M3, and we’re about to compare it to a G82 M4. When it comes to the E46, it’s about 4.5 meters long and 1.8 meters wide. As for the new M4, it’s about 30cm longer and 10cm wider! This is because it’s had to incorporate a number of factors, such as a stiffer chassis and better suspension, mainly because its 3-litre twin-turbo pumps out around 190hp more than the E46! So will the modern M4 struggle when driving around London? You’ll need to stick with Mat to see for yourself!

Change your car with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Change-Your-Car-2112 We’ve finally got our hands on the new BMW M5, and it’s going head-to-head with its closest rivals – the Audi RS6 and the AMG GT 63 S 4-Door! The BMW M5 may have come in for a fair bit of criticism since it was unveiled, but is it justified? It’s time to hit the track and find out! So let’s start off with a look at the stats… Starting with the M5, it’s powered by a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 coupled with an electric motor. These combine to produce 727hp and 1,000Nm, and this power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox. The car weighs in at 2,435kg, and as new it costs around £111,000. Alongside it, we have the Audi RS6 Performance. This comes with a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that can produce 630hp and 850Nm of torque. This is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at 2,075kg. A new RS6 Performance costs from £116,000. Then finally we have the AMG GT 63 S four-door. It also has a 4-litre twin-turbo V8, producing 639hp and 900Mm. This is sent to all four wheels via a 9-speed auto, weighing in at 2,135kg. A second-hand 2019 version of the GT four-door costs around £70,000, but a brand-new one costs around £156,000! So will the M5’s hybrid power propel it to victory? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE! Thanks to David for lending us his AMG:
