Audi S3 (300hp) vs Bmw M135i (320hp) – Acceleration
In this video you will watch an Audi S3 (300hp) VS Bmw M135i (320hp) Acceleration
Audi S3 (300 hp)
Every 2016 Audi S3 now comes standard with a rearview camera and front and rear parking sensors, while last year’s Advanced Technology package (including adaptive cruise control, lane departure intervention and a forward collision mitigation system) is now standard on the Prestige trim. An optional Black Optic Performance package bundles the adaptive suspension with unique wheels and black exterior trim.There aren’t many cars on the market that are at once sporty, luxurious, fuel-efficient and relatively affordable. One member of this select group is the 2016 Audi S3 sport sedan, a higher-performance version of Audi’s smallest and least expensive model, the A3.
The S3 gets its extra zip from a modified version of the A3’s available turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. It delivers a stout 292 hp, 72 more than the A3 2.0T can manage. Coupled with the standard six-speed automated manual transmission and all-wheel drive, it can fire you off to 60 mph in less than 5 seconds, yet it’s EPA-rated at 31 mpg highway. You also get a sport-tuned suspension with optional magnetic-ride adaptive dampers for increased handling precision, larger brakes and various exterior styling mods that give the S3 a more aggressive look than the A3.The S3’s generously equipped interior is well-crafted and stately without being overdone. Like the A3, though, the S3 suffers from a tight backseat and small trunk, making it a questionable choice for families. It’s also unfortunate that there’s no USB port for connecting your personal devices; that’s a feature we expect in every segment these days. And depending on your taste, the S3’s sporty underpinnings may seem too stiff on rougher roads or poorly maintained city streets.
In fairness, the S3’s primary rival, the Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG, has a similar list of foibles. The Benz boasts more power, but the Audi is less expensive and wins out in terms of personality and interior quality. If you can get by with two doors, we recommend the 2016 BMW 2 Series coupe, whose handling abilities are unmatched in this grouping. You could also save some money and go with the amped-up 2016 Subaru WRX STI or the well-rounded Volkswagen Golf R hatchback (which is mechanically very similar to the S3). Overall, though, if you like the idea of a small luxury sedan that packs a big punch, the 2016 Audi S3 is a great pick.

Bmw M135i (320hp)
The facelifted version of BMW’s brilliant M135i, which proved to be one of the real-world stars of the last few years. Along with Volkswagen’s Golf R the M135i became renowned for offering serious performance and involving dynamics at a realistic price tag – with seriously tempting lease deals to boot.
This latest version gets a little more power and a sharper, more handsome aesthetic – the headlights have been reshaped and the taillights now reach into the bootlid, while the front bumper boasts a more sculpted design.
BMW isn’t claiming any chassis revisions, but the company does employ a policy of continuous improvement throughout a model’s lifecycle so there may yet be dynamic differences between this latest version and the original to report.
Engine, transmission and 0-60mph time
The turbocharged, six-cylinder engine has been uprated by 10bhp to 322bhp – it’s essentially the same version of the N55 unit that the M235i coupe has used since its launch in early 2014. Despite the modest power increase BMW isn’t claiming any reduction in 0-62mph times – BMW claim the manual cars will hit the benchmark in 5.1 seconds fractionally quicker than the 5.2 seconds to 60mph we recorded. The automatic M135i has a claimed 0-62mph of 4.9 seconds.
The peak torque output of 332lb ft is delivered from just 1300rpm, which is unchanged from the previous model.
The standard gearbox is a six-speed manual, but around 80 per cent of buyers are expected to opt for the eight-speed ZF automatic. A limited-slip differential is available as a dealer fit option, although the uptake on the previous model was close to negligible.
