There is no mistaking the visceral rumble and snarl of a German V8, however, these days V8 powertrains are a dying breed.

The boffins at BMW are keeping them alive, though, and in high-octane fashion, the team at Carwow has come together to test some of Bavaria’s luxury muscle cars. An exhilarating brawl between BMW’s brutal M8 Competition, menacing M5 CS, and ballistic M5 Competition inevitably ensues.

All three vehicles are powered by BMW’s inimitable S63 4,4-litre twin-turbocharged V8, and each car weighs just under 2 tonnes. With 0-100 km/h times all around the 3-second mark, there is no doubt that this will be neck and neck the starting line. In true Bayerische fashion, these behemoths are equipped with the firm’s M-specific M-xDrive AWD system, 8-speed ZF automatic transmission, and power figures north of 450 kW.

The ability to decouple the front tires and switch from all-wheel drive to rear-wheel drive is a key feature in many serious M-badged BMWs, unsurprisingly, seconds after this little fact is covered in the video the team eagerly warms up the tires by doing donuts on the drag strip. With their tyres heated to the ideal temperatures, the drag race can commence.
