U-DRAG RACE: BMW M2 vs. Nissan Z Nismo | Quarter Mile, Handling & More

Would you get the Nismo over the M2 or does the lower price and optional manual mean it’s BMW for the win? Let us know in the comments!

Look it up that BMW is actually putting 450 hp to the wheels, like all M cars it’s grossly underrated. This race was over before it started, is anyone surprised?

Insane that’s this cars are the same price.

That Nissan is 67k!!!!!!! wtf?!?!?!!

Even the M240i would’ve wore out that Nissan!!!

I don't think there was a whole lot of mystery to what we were gonna see here

That S58 engine is a beast!

The fact that the Z is nearly $70K is criminal with this level of performance. This car should start at around Mustang GT money ($40K).

The price on the new Z is hilarious. $68k for that Nismo is straight up insulting

I don't think anyone should be surprised with this outcome.....

3.6 sec 0 to 60 and 11.6 sec quarter!! M2 is a beast and that S58 has so much more potential.

More power, shorter gearing, better gearbox. The Z had its work cut out before it even began.

The z is about 10-15 grand over priced for a warmed up half baked 80% refresh

The Nismo Z is growing on me and I say this as a twin turbo 370Z owner. On the positive side, power won't be a problem. You can take it to your local GT-R tuner and they'll make it as fast as you need.

The Z never ceases to disappoint... This is coming from a Nissan fan too.

BMW sandbags their numbers, the new M2 actually makes 450 WHP 👀👀 that thing is fast

Nismo Vs Supra has to be next.

The interior in the Z looks like a 90s hynundai in quality.

I'm a long time Nissan fan boy...currently have my 7th Z (a 2014 6MT 370Z Roadster Sport that I ADORE), a 6MT Juke Nismo for the wife's daily (>117k on the clock and still gets ~30mpg!), a 6MT Sentra Nismo for my daily and a 2016 FBO GT-R (that I'd LOVE to get on this show!!!) and even >I< know, before even watching, that this is absolutely, 100% going to be a blowout...they say the Z is "new", but it's not. The underpinnings have been around for about a decade and a half at this point. The bimmer may as well be from a different planet. EDIT: Yup. Went exactly as expected. lol

As soon as I saw the difference in accelerration my first thought was, "no way there's only a 50hp difference between these 2!". 100 hp is more believeable. Interestingly enough the M2 only managed a 2:56.9 in Car and Driver's lightning track and the Z managed a 2:56.2. Close enough the driver/conditions seem to be the biggest factors. As a die hard Z fan, I still prefer the Z, but hard to suggest getting one over the M2 at the same price 😢
