We know the Tesla Model 3 Performance is fast, but can the BMW M3 Competition take it down in a drag and endurance racing showdown? Hagerty wanted to find out, so they took both sports sedans to a track to find out.



The 2025 BMW M3 Competition xDrive is powered by a turbocharged 3.0L 6-cylinder engine making 523 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque, mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox, enabling it to hit 60 mph in 2.8 seconds. Its all-electric counterpart comes equipped with dual motors that generate a combined 510 hp and 554 lb-ft of torque, helping propel Elon Musk’s creation from 0-60 mph in a mere 2.9 seconds.

Tesla Model 3 Performance vs BMW M3 Competition Drag Racing

Wait, WHAT!! Both of these are faster than a Ferrari 458?! My God cars really have come a long way since the days of 458’s Top Gear fame! Deep respect to both BMW and Tesla for bringing supercar performance from a decade ago within a normal functional family car today, that’s insane,” said one commenter.
