Can a $56,000 Tesla Model 3 Performance take down a $120,000 BMW M3 CS in a U-Drag racing showdown? Edmunds Cars wanted to find out, so they pit both sedans against each other in a battle for the ages, or so we’d like to think.
Power for the 4,051 pound Tesla Model 3 Performance comes from dual electric motors generating 510 hp and 554 lb-ft of torque, enabling it to hit 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds. The 3,915 pound BMW M3 CS draws power from a twin-turbocharged 3.0L straight-six engine producing 543 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque, helping it boost the sports sedan from 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds.

The driving experience is the best part of electric cars. The acceleration response at any speed and pedal position is razor sharp and perfectly linear. It’s not just about peak power but how quickly you can go from less power to more power. It’s as quick to respond as you can move your foot,” said one commenter.
