[Music] 2021 lexus rcf track edition bmw m3 manual with launch [Music] control i'm yuri i'm jacob acting this thing rips and the reason we're comparing both of these cars is because the performance figures are so similar starting with the horsepower and torque the bmw m3 has 473 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque from a 3-liter twin-turbo inline 6-cylinder and the rcf track edition has 472 horsepower and 395 pound-feet of torque from a 5-liter v8 so by my math that's exactly
a one-horsepower difference yuri okay we should probably get into drag racing and roll racing well that's a good thing we went to the track and we know the youtube algorithm is so good that our videos show up in your feed whether you subscribe or not but if you subscribe that makes us feel a little bit better if you've watched at least five of our videos without subscribing i think it's time for you to subscribe how much harm could it do so every variation of launching the rcf whethe r i did
launch control or non-launch control the m3 just kind of always beat it out eat my dust germany i got it pulling away that was way closer and even when we did a roll race i was still faster in the m3 but depending on what gear we were in it was like barely faster but i did end up pulling away yeah i mean if we did like an eighth mile maybe this car would have won i was actually surprised at how fast the rcf was compared to that m3 yeah because the m3 actually just feels f aster but on paper
they're almost identical and in reality they're actually almost identical but the m3 just inches out every single time okay now let's address the four-door elephant in the room one's a four-door one's a two-door one's manual the m3 and this one only comes in automatic and we've already driven the m4 competition so we can verify that they just drive basically the same with a little bit less horsepower so that's why these are completely evenly matched and even t he 0 to 60 times are
technically very evenly matched the only thing that's really not matched is the price yeah so this is going to be the most expensive track focused lexus and that's going to be the least expensive m3 m4 and the least track focused as well so we wanted to compare the fact what is the cheapest m3 you can buy versus the most expensive rcf you can buy they also have the exact same tail lights they also have double dual exhaust and they also have big gri lls that people complain about but people are
going to love in four years so yuri what should we start with so what makes this rcf a track condition compared to a regular rcf in the simplest terms it's lighter weight it also has a ton of carbon fiber which contributes to the lighter weight we also have carbon ceramic brakes the same horsepower as the regular one and a different mechanical differential okay and then that bmw is just standard bmw but it does rip on the track yeah so if you wanted to get an automatic m3 or m4 you actually have
to get a competition and then if you got a competition you would lose the silver badge you would have a black badge yeah should we get into the looks for these two what looks better an rcf or an m3 m4 the rcf no question especially in track edition i think this looks amazing a little awkward because the wheels do feel a little bit small but the rcf wheels are pretty sick your bmw wheels are also really amazing because the m4 we drove didn't have the cool wheels on it yeah and i think these
wheels definitely look better than yours and then what would be the continental recommended tire for both of these the extreme contact sport so then moving to the grills who's got the better ugly grill oh the lexus definitely wins that okay if you're saying the better grill the lexus wins if you're saying the better uglier one the bmw wins i think they're both special in their own ways and then headlights i kind of think the lexus edges this one out because this has the newer headlights yeah the
lexus just kind of looks a little angrier but the overall front end of that lexus just kind of looks like a big puffer fish okay we have a carbon fiber huge hood on this lexus but we've got those really sculpted hood lines on the m3 i think both hoods get a tie now we both have a carbon fiber roof however you have a carbon fiber wing which is rather large yeah and i guess there is no m3 m4 gts yet lik e there was in the previous gen which would make it look more like this so so far with the
wing this is winning but from the back end what about exhaust tips exhaust tips are pretty good on both but let's take a listen to the outside i gotta give the raw sound to the lexus but the m3 sounds really good and it's got like a lot of backfires and stuff but it like hangs on so long after that last rev i also got to give it to alexis it just sounds so nasty yuri let's get into the rig ht gear and i'm going to rip it let's listen to the inside very smooth in the bmw and a little
downshift [Music] oh it's so punchy in here and it's got that extra intake to really like pump more audio in naturally yeah you have that crossover at 3000 rpm that thing just definitely sounds better inside and out okay but the look of the exhaust tips we got to give it to lexus too because it's like the isf but real and it's a titanium exhaust exactly stacked duals that's def initely a w okay and then we both have the exact same tail lights oddly enough and these are both wider than
their regular non-performance counterparts which one gets the fatter booty on these okay but they both have really wide rear fenders where the m4 doesn't it's got the double dual body line yeah that's why the m3 i think looks way better than the m4 even though this one does have four doors and i pretty much just hate every sedan besides the chevy ss so i would prefe r the m4 looks to more match this lexus and considering that actually competes with that rcf a little bit better we're just going to
assume that this is the two-door yes photoshop or we could just insert footage from our n4 competition video and photoshop that yeah change the hue and now it's gold okay uh paint wise i don't really care about this dark gray color but i think it looks better in dark gray than it does in white with the carbon fiber roof and hood but donut media had a coo l one that was matte paint and i would love this in matte and then this paint compared to the gold paint gray is kind of okay but that goldish
beige looks so awesome and i definitely don't really like this goldish base so i'm going to give the w to the lexus on that and moving back around to the side we also have some fender vents on both of these we also have m3 and f badges on both of them and i think the fender vents on the lexus are actually real i'm not quite sure about the bmw ones i don't think so i think the f badge beats the m3 back oh no i think they're tied because they're like the badges equally get abused by not being real
models so it's a tie on the coolness of the badges yeah for f sport and m sport and now there's even f performance which is different than f sport sorry f sport performance that's how confusing it is so looks wise lexus wins 100 so at the track performance wise the m3 just beat the rcf basically in every single competition we did so now how about we go over some of the experiences we had at the track doing some laps doing some slides and then we'll switch drivers do a launch control talk about
these wild interiors and then come up with the final winner okay so i'm going to leave this in m dynamic mode because i want to see how fast i can go not necessarily how sideways i can go on the m3 okay i lied about that i'm gonna leave everything off just so i can have full control and this thing is very tricky but ge nerally i can get it where i need it to go with a little bit of slip on the exit and i feel like i could probably pull away from you at any moment but not that quickly like i'd
have to get about half a lap and then i could probably leave you yeah i'll probably catch you but i probably could outbreak it with these carbon ceramies but i don't want to risk like you know giving you a little bumper kiss yo i really don't think you can catch me in the m3 we'll see when we hit the last s traight okay let's do a little bit of a roll race here oh i got lag oh it's i'm slowly starting to pull away but we don't have enough room so then i guess overall for getting through the track
and through the turns the bmw is a lot easier it's a lot faster and this rcf just kind of wants to slide and it's a lot more difficult yeah it's almost like they're matched for fun but the m3 just definitely makes everything easier but putting these cars in different people's hands a little more experience in the rcf a little less in the m3 they probably would even out pretty nicely nah man i think whoever's in this m3 will pull away from that rcf track edition all day all right let's end it
with a little cliche slide corner and back to the comparison okay i'm in mdm so i don't know how sideways i'll get here but i'll try that's okay okay that was a nasty drip from that thing all right my personal favorite is sliding the rcf how about you i think it's just so easy to sli de this m3 it's so controllable it's so predictable i actually enjoy myself more in this m3 just because i find myself just more comfortable here yeah and everything on track has been more fun than this because i
feel like i'm just so much more focused i need to be fully on my game at all times yeah even though i do have everything off when i'm not in m dynamic mode i still feel like either the chassis balance or something that just makes this car just easier to drift and drive wh en you're just trying to go fast and i think you've nailed that from all the time that i spent on track with that m3 today so let's get back to the comparison and we had an amazing time on the track we drifted the hell out of
both of these we got some incredible drone shots let us know in the comments how much you guys like the fpv drone shots yeah and make sure you check out tmp cayuga you can go to the same track and drive on open lapping days where we go and do all of our tests and same with speed academy and shout out to both manufacturers for letting us take both cars to the track and understanding that both of us can actually drive cars pretty well yo we're breaking through that canadian ceiling yeah and i
don't want to sound like that guy like oh yeah i took my own horn but like just just watch some of the footage we're pretty decent literally literally not the worst is as good as i ever need to be yeah yeah there you go manual launch control [Music ] active [Music] okay that's really nice for a manual launch okay drive sport plus traction off press the launch button and here we go let's see what happens burn out and there's the power not the best launch it's so hard to get a good launch in this
car did it get into launch control for you it sure did but it just wasn't that good because then it cut out after and then it just cut power kind of like the camaro zettle one one le it said it had a good launch time but it just didn't put it down meanwhile the c63s just kept dummying it yeah that's the thing zero to sixty on paper this is faster by point one second but in reality man that m3 just wins every time so this has a lot more tech let's get into the interior starting with maybe the
materials okay so the materials in the lexus are top-notch i love these seats first of all they are alcantara and they hug you like crazy they are not heated and cooled for weight savings and this one's got orange sheets the y're not the same kind of sportsies that we had in the m4 where there's holes in the back these are super comfortable heated and cooled but more importantly the colors okay the colors are both pretty wild well especially more in the bmw considering that's like a bright
orange yeah you think it's kind of beige in some photos you're like no that's straight up orange but the lexus has red carpets to match all the red there and the red sides on the door panels it's like they almost both equally kill it yeah they really do and this lexus also has this red black weaved carbon fiber it looks awesome so even though the lexus has the nicer materials the cooler carbon fiber the fact that bmw threw orange in a traditional interior i almost have to give it to these guys
for being so bold and the other fact is you can get those optional track package seats on the competition as well and you can get them in crazy green you have the optional seats so yeah i mean i think bmw actually wins that one but lexus you're just as good yeah i mean these seats are actually legitimately more comfortable and more bolstered than those seats oh and from the front angle when you see the lexus driving you see the red in front of the steering wheel and that looks very cool
it's almost like when you like grip and grain except now it's like ripping red yeah yeah i love grip and grain however the funniest thing and best thing is seeing the interiors especially on the m3 from the drone that orange just popped so hard from the drone shots okay enough about the interior colors let's get into interior tech the lexus is old-school it hasn't even have the touch screen that's been upgraded in like the ls 500 but it has apple carplay and that's all i really care about
because the sickness of the car makes up for it and the lexus doesn't even have android auto it finally got apple carplay and the bmw has both yeah the bmw is just like next le vel tack it's got the same idrive kind of layout that everyone's always liked except with more stuff we got like the backup assist we've got different gauge clusters that change for different modes we go over in every single review this infotainment is pretty much perfect and it's got the built-in drive recorder too that
can record 20 seconds before and after and record when has an accident this thing's unreal yeah infotainment wise m3 definitely wins gauge wise i think the lexus wi ns because this gauge is so sick all i ever want is a center digital attack or analog and this one kind of does both okay but the bmw has better shift lights in the gauge cluster and in the head-up display in reduced and in non-reduced mode so i think for shift lights bmw wins yeah i don't even care about my shift lights because watch
this i'm just gonna downshift and just pinging it off the limiter and as good as it is in that rcf it's not as good as the lc500 because this one actual ly makes you shift from first to second and automatically of shifting automatically i have automatic rev matching so let's just [Music] like driving on automatic yeah it is really easy to drive that m3 with the rev matching on so you do have a six speed manual i have an eight-speed auto i find this one to be relatively slow with the paddles
so downshift downshift it's okay but when you're ripping it i find that it actually shifts much faster so now i'm gonna rip it into third an d pretty decent on the up shift but did you notice when you're on the track in the rcf the feedback for what gear you were in just like wasn't perfect you know you tried to downshift it would beep and like the camaro zl11le that was like i know what gear i'm in i know what i need to shift to that was way more perfect yeah this transmission does feel ancient
in comparison to i mean basically every other company on the market that has something comparable so mr i always complain about stiff rides do you have a drive mode that softens that rcf up well i do kind of have a couple modes that i can do that in so normal and eco will soften it up and i also set my custom to have sport powertrain but soft suspension because yes this is too stiff you can just see me bouncing around on the track i'll show you some clips of that so i do find the suspension too
stiff for the road but because it's adaptive putting it to normal suspension is totally fine and because that is cal led track edition i don't mind how bumpy it is on the road and i keep it in full sport s plus so i keep the cool gauges but in this bmw we have three modes of comfort suspension and then we can change all the rest of our stuff and program it to our m1 and m2 just like all other cool bmws and now finally we can program our gear shift assist our rev match to the modes and turn that
on and off independently of our traction it's a very good system so the bmw definitely gets the win for customization and overall ease of use and the fact that your launch control is actually so easy to do and a thing that we noticed with that particular m3 maybe because it's manual maybe because it's rear-wheel drive we can continually do launches over and over unlike most other bmw m cars that we drive we have to do one launch drive around so that it cools down and then we can do another line
and and you know what we asked the engineers in an m3 m4 like video chat we did with them an d i'm like why can't you guys have like a quicker cool down rate like mercedes does or whatever they had some like dumb excuses like oh we want you to take the time to get better i'm like all right well really you're just like not as good as mercedes in that way yeah yeah they had a pretty good comeback i forget what it was but it was something along those lines but that launch control in the rcf push the
launch button and you just need to ease it in and once it's eased in a bit then you can put your foot all the way down and it stays in launch but if you just jab at it it'll get out of launch [Music] because otherwise you just do a first second third gear burnout and we should probably do the most important tests starting with the visor test three two one pass double pass and then the cup holder test they both fit small coffees just fine and then back seat room i do not fit behind myself in the
rcf and in the m4 i also didn't really fit behind myself but i do fi t behind myself in the m3 so i just just fit behind myself in the rcf and i fit behind myself perfectly fine in the m4 so if you're five foot eight and a half ish both are good and if you've got little kids who cares toss them in there anyways right yeah pretty much so is that everything with both of these as far as i'm concerned i think it's time we get to the price so the rcf track edition that i'm currently sitting in is
optioned out to 120 000 canadian so this m3 is probably around that too right oh yeah you'd assume so the final price of that m3 manual is 96 150 okay so there is a big price difference but like carbon ceramic brakes on an rcf adds probably like 10 to 15 000 which would probably do the same if you got the carbon ceramics on this m3 so who's buying that rcf track edition i feel like that's what people with too much money who are lexus fanboys buy for fun and i feel like this m3 is what
people with not too much money save up for a nd buy as a gold car as much as i love my old school 5 liter v8s because yes i love them so much and i love this one the price is just so out of whack that you don't get the performance value that you do but don't but the coolness is off the charts for that rcf track edition so for me as much as i love the m3 the m4 if it was an m4 maybe i'd be a little bit more team m4 but i'm gonna go team rcf track edition if we're awarding cool points the rcf
track edition gets all of them s o that definitely wins but objectively that m3 is just a better car so i have to give the win to the m3 but we want to know from the viewers which car wins which car is the internet's choice leave a comment below whoever spams the most rcf or m3 that is going to be considered the winner and let us know what else you guys want us to compare because we have an extra special comparison with this rcf track edition with the mustang mach 1 which is also a track version
of a mustang and wha

it's almost like when you like grip and grain except now it's like ripping red yeah yeah i love grip and grain however the funniest thing and best thing is seeing the interiors especially on the m3 from the drone that orange just popped so hard from the drone shots okay enough about the interior colors let's get into interior tech the lexus is old-school it hasn't even have the touch screen that's been upgraded in like the ls 500 but it has apple carplay and that's all i really care about
because the sickness of the car makes up for it and the lexus doesn't even have android auto it finally got apple carplay and the bmw has both yeah the bmw is just like next le vel tack it's got the same idrive kind of layout that everyone's always liked except with more stuff we got like the backup assist we've got different gauge clusters that change for different modes we go over in every single review this infotainment is pretty much perfect and it's got the built-in drive recorder too that
can record 20 seconds before and after and record when has an accident this thing's unreal yeah infotainment wise m3 definitely wins gauge wise i think the lexus wi ns because this gauge is so sick all i ever want is a center digital attack or analog and this one kind of does both okay but the bmw has better shift lights in the gauge cluster and in the head-up display in reduced and in non-reduced mode so i think for shift lights bmw wins yeah i don't even care about my shift lights because watch
this i'm just gonna downshift and just pinging it off the limiter and as good as it is in that rcf it's not as good as the lc500 because this one actual ly makes you shift from first to second and automatically of shifting automatically i have automatic rev matching so let's just [Music] like driving on automatic yeah it is really easy to drive that m3 with the rev matching on so you do have a six speed manual i have an eight-speed auto i find this one to be relatively slow with the paddles
so downshift downshift it's okay but when you're ripping it i find that it actually shifts much faster so now i'm gonna rip it into third an d pretty decent on the up shift but did you notice when you're on the track in the rcf the feedback for what gear you were in just like wasn't perfect you know you tried to downshift it would beep and like the camaro zl11le that was like i know what gear i'm in i know what i need to shift to that was way more perfect yeah this transmission does feel ancient
in comparison to i mean basically every other company on the market that has something comparable so mr i always complain about stiff rides do you have a drive mode that softens that rcf up well i do kind of have a couple modes that i can do that in so normal and eco will soften it up and i also set my custom to have sport powertrain but soft suspension because yes this is too stiff you can just see me bouncing around on the track i'll show you some clips of that so i do find the suspension too
stiff for the road but because it's adaptive putting it to normal suspension is totally fine and because that is cal led track edition i don't mind how bumpy it is on the road and i keep it in full sport s plus so i keep the cool gauges but in this bmw we have three modes of comfort suspension and then we can change all the rest of our stuff and program it to our m1 and m2 just like all other cool bmws and now finally we can program our gear shift assist our rev match to the modes and turn that
on and off independently of our traction it's a very good system so the bmw definitely gets the win for customization and overall ease of use and the fact that your launch control is actually so easy to do and a thing that we noticed with that particular m3 maybe because it's manual maybe because it's rear-wheel drive we can continually do launches over and over unlike most other bmw m cars that we drive we have to do one launch drive around so that it cools down and then we can do another line
and and you know what we asked the engineers in an m3 m4 like video chat we did with them an d i'm like why can't you guys have like a quicker cool down rate like mercedes does or whatever they had some like dumb excuses like oh we want you to take the time to get better i'm like all right well really you're just like not as good as mercedes in that way yeah yeah they had a pretty good comeback i forget what it was but it was something along those lines but that launch control in the rcf push the
launch button and you just need to ease it in and once it's eased in a bit then you can put your foot all the way down and it stays in launch but if you just jab at it it'll get out of launch [Music] because otherwise you just do a first second third gear burnout and we should probably do the most important tests starting with the visor test three two one pass double pass and then the cup holder test they both fit small coffees just fine and then back seat room i do not fit behind myself in the
rcf and in the m4 i also didn't really fit behind myself but i do fi t behind myself in the m3 so i just just fit behind myself in the rcf and i fit behind myself perfectly fine in the m4 so if you're five foot eight and a half ish both are good and if you've got little kids who cares toss them in there anyways right yeah pretty much so is that everything with both of these as far as i'm concerned i think it's time we get to the price so the rcf track edition that i'm currently sitting in is
optioned out to 120 000 canadian so this m3 is probably around that too right oh yeah you'd assume so the final price of that m3 manual is 96 150 okay so there is a big price difference but like carbon ceramic brakes on an rcf adds probably like 10 to 15 000 which would probably do the same if you got the carbon ceramics on this m3 so who's buying that rcf track edition i feel like that's what people with too much money who are lexus fanboys buy for fun and i feel like this m3 is what
people with not too much money save up for a nd buy as a gold car as much as i love my old school 5 liter v8s because yes i love them so much and i love this one the price is just so out of whack that you don't get the performance value that you do but don't but the coolness is off the charts for that rcf track edition so for me as much as i love the m3 the m4 if it was an m4 maybe i'd be a little bit more team m4 but i'm gonna go team rcf track edition if we're awarding cool points the rcf
track edition gets all of them s o that definitely wins but objectively that m3 is just a better car so i have to give the win to the m3 but we want to know from the viewers which car wins which car is the internet's choice leave a comment below whoever spams the most rcf or m3 that is going to be considered the winner and let us know what else you guys want us to compare because we have an extra special comparison with this rcf track edition with the mustang mach 1 which is also a track version
of a mustang and wha
