The driver of the Commodore, a 23-year-old Bracken Ridge woman, died at the scene.
His passenger, a 24-year-old Mango Hill man, was assessed by paramedics for serious pelvic and leg injuries.
He was taken to Princess Alexandra Hospital in a potentially life-threatening condition.
The driver of the BMW, a 30-year-old woman from Coominya, 85 kilometers northwest of Brisbane, also suffered serious pelvis and leg injuries and was taken to the same hospital with a potentially life-threatening condition.
Officers said they were investigating reports that the Commodore was seen driving around the area with a large group just before the crash.
