The BMW M3 Touring is arguably one of the most anticipated performance cars scheduled to arrive on local shores in 2024 and, as soon as it makes landfall, drag races between it and its rival from the brand with the four rings — the Audi RS4 Avant — are sure to commence. However, while we wait to see which one of these wagons crosses the finish line first on local test strips, motoring publication Motorsport Magazine has given us a glimpse of what might ensue.

As a reminder, both of these performance wagons are equipped with all-wheel drive and eight-speed automatic transmissions. However, boasting 375 kW/650 N.m, the BMW is considerably more powerful than its 331 kW/600 N.m Ingolstadt rival. As such, it completes the obligatory 0-100 km/h sprint five-tenths-of-a-second quicker than the RS4 (3.6 vs. 4.1 seconds, claimed). The top speed of each of these models is electronically governed to 250 km/h (or 280 km/h when ticking the correct option boxes).
