BMW puts an M3 and an S 1000 RR bike head-to-head on the track — except the object of this race is to start at opposite ends of the track and catch the other vehicle first.

BMW puts an M3 and an S 1000 RR bike head-to-head on the track — except the object of this race is to start at opposite ends of the track and catch the other vehicle first. Both vehicles made a trip to the Akrapovic tuning firm for a couple of upgrades before hitting the track. The BMW M3's engine was upgraded to 442 horsepower and 321 pound-feet of torque, and the S 1000 RR bike was tweaked to deliver 198 horses and 87 lb-ft of torque.   In the end, the better power-to-weight ratio logically reigned supreme.
