The result I expected, but it's sad (not sad) to see the all new C43 only edging out the 6-7 year old S5 platform/engine that's also down 50+hp on paper. I suspect there's going to be quite a few of these sitting on dealer lots in the coming months.

To quote Thomas... "This is the worst car I've driven this year"

Was the M340i an X-drive... ? They never mentioned but assumed so since it dod so well against the quatro AWD Audi. The AMG make me laugh with the puny 4 banger stuff.

These guys need to work on their 0-action times. More than 2m15s of bland description before the drag race. Also, show the times/mph?

Wow the Benz got shit on heavily. Really dumb decision by them to go with the 4cyl.

I’m guessing that “F1 tech” won’t be cheap to fix after the warranty ends

this must be the 5th (exaggeration) time they've had the merc on their channel and 5th time they've shatted on it?
