Off the line, the Bmw 116d hits 100 km/h in 10.17 s versus 10.28 s for the Cooper One FWD. At this point, the Bmw 116d leads by 0.11 s and sits roughly 12 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 116d is doing 106 km/h against 109 km/h for the Cooper One FWD. The gap is 0.40 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 116d crosses the line in 17.39 s versus 17.69 s. The 0.30 s gap represents roughly 11 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 116d continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 147 km/h versus 147 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 116d finishes in 31.69 s versus 32.01 s, with a 0.33 s lead.
Electronically capped at 200 km/h, the Bmw 116d never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (11.85 kg/hp vs 10.44 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 16.95 seconds. The 0.11 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.
