Why the E53 should have at least included the C43 to make it a fair comparison. Although the M340i would have still been on top.

Usually the lineups never make sense because they race cars they currently have on hand versus them waiting for a manufacture to send an adequate competitor.

Not going to lie, my money was on the S4 due to the torque but wow that M340i is a rocket.

Indeed the car is therapeutic, having a crappy day at work? You've got a brilliant car to drive home after work and soon you won't even remember you had less than a stellar day.

Not surprised to see the M340 win. Can't wait to get mine!

I'm not surprised that it won.... I'm just surprised that it won by THAT much! It absolutely destroyed everything else. I'm thinking a C43 would be closer competition, but still.

Holy mother of god, that 340i is really freaking impressive. When I saw the BHP and torque numbers I thought the BMW didn't stand a chance at winning the race, but it took off like a spaceship! I'm not really into racing, but watching this made my heart warm. I don't have a 340i, but knowing that we're in the same family is good enough to feel happy after watching this video

330i in car and driver's recent test vs the Giulia did the 1/4 mile in 13.8 at 100mph. Wouldn't have been too far behind the Volvo and Audi. all with a measly 255 HP

This is why the Audi is quite good for the first part of the rolling race, then it needs to change up and just falls back compared to the E53

Newly redesigned M340i is back on top after being pitted against the best during development. Are any of the others new for 2019? Only just lost to the Audi in braking.
