There`s been often challenges that have put head-to-head magnificent models from both BMW and Mercedes-Benz. The latest video review comes from Car Advice and involves the gorgeous BMW M4 with Competition Package against the top notch predator Mercedes-AMG C63 S Coupe.

The video is trying to highlight the main characteristics that each model is coming with, also taking a look at their advanced aerodynamics and mechanics. Each one was properly driven and tested out by Chris Atkinson who then detailed each and gave the proper feedback. But in the end, it is up to you to decide which one is the best, if there is such thing as “THE” best.

Starting with the BMW M4 with Competition Package, the model comes with the standard 3.0-liter I6 twin-turbo engine but now modified to churn out 444 horsepower and 40 lb-ft of torque. With the launch control, Atkinson managed to pull a lap time of 00:54.380.

On the other side, the Mercedes-AMG C63 S Coupe, which was designated a better car than the M4 by the same Car Advice, packs a higher 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, with 503 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, which practically makes it the main winner of our track test. However, with traction control in Race mode, it managed a lap time of 00:55.080, giving the M4 a slight advantage ahead of it. The car oversteered during corners and that cost Atkinson some a couple of tenths.

Even so, each model comes with the latest driving capabilities, dynamics and stability, offering real shows both on the track as well as on straight line. Enjoy the video put together by Car Advice!

I have never doubted the performance capabilities of the M4 GTS from BMW but there is no way the car could beat-up a BMW motorcycle in a drag race…not even in a million years. It is proven that motorcycles are way too fast than conventional cars, and that seems to be an impossible mission for the potent M4 GTS.

Even so, putting two BMW products altogether, no matter what they are (car or bike) it is a fun exercise to learn from each other, and the video below, provided by motoring.com.au, is just trying to do that. The video is giving us an up-close of the outstanding characteristics of both BMW products on a track test.

Even if today`s motorcycles are built to last, becoming safer and safer thanks to their plethora of safety systems and advanced mechanics, I would personally drive one during summer weekends and choose the BMW M4 GTS for some hefty throttling or driving session on the track. Even so, the thrill and the excitement you feel while being on an S1000RR bike don’t match those of the M4 GTS.

So there are plenty of advantages and disadvantages of driving an M4 GTS vs riding an outstanding BMW S1000RR. It just depends on what you want.

If you want an amazing car that literally sticks you to the seat, then take the BMW M4 GTS`s impressive performance and sprint – just 3.8 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h achieved thanks to a high-performance system which comprises a conventional 3.0-liter turbocharged engine with water-injection technology, for an overall 493 horsepower.

If you need a fast bike from BMW, then our suggestion would be going for the S1000RR, an exceptional two-wheel machine with quick response, stability and fast speed. You can find out more in the video below!

The BMW M2 has been spied many times, but this time the supercar has been caught on a video while performing some test on track, at Nurburgring.

Before the big arrival of the upcoming M2 on the market, the BMW German based luxury automaker wants to make sure that everything is in the right order and launched the car on some tests on the famous Ring.

The fresh top of the line of the 2-Series is showing off with a more aggressive body style along with its front fascia resembling with those also seen on the big brothers, the M3 and the M4.

More than that, the upcoming BMW M2 will be getting the more aggressive side skirts than those used on the famous M235i Racing.

Inside the BMW M2, things are also changes, since the interior received bucket seats, a sport steering wheel and of course some carbon fiber trims.

Under the hood, the new BMW M2 will get its 380 horsepower and 400 horsepower from the famous 3.0-liter straight-six engine, also seen on the M3 and the M4.
