Off the line, the Bmw 116d hits 100 km/h in 10.17 s versus 10.38 s for the Bmw 116d. At this point, the Bmw 116d leads by 0.21 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 116d is doing 106 km/h against 107 km/h for the Bmw 116d. The gap is 0.25 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 116d crosses the line in 17.39 s versus 17.61 s. The 0.22 s gap represents roughly 8 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows.
At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 116d finishes in 31.69 s versus 31.81 s, with just 0.13 s to spare. The Bmw 116d fails to fully close the launch gap.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Bmw 116d and the Bmw 116d are governed to 200 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (11.85 kg/hp vs 11.85 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 16.96 seconds. The 0.21 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
