3008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8 vs Bmw 116i: chronicle of a drag race at 206 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Bmw 116i hits 100 km/h in 10.53 s versus 10.70 s for the 3008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8. At this point, the Bmw 116i leads by 0.17 s and sits roughly 17 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Bmw 116i is doing 104 km/h against 106 km/h for the 3008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8. The gap is 0.58 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 116i crosses the line in 17.45 s versus 17.86 s. The 0.41 s gap represents roughly 15 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The Bmw 116i maxes out at 199 km/h while the 3008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8 keeps accelerating towards 206 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.25 s.
Around 917 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the 3008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8 overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 7 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the 3008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8 finishes in 32.11 s versus 32.17 s. The 0.06 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 200 km/h, the Bmw 116i 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 (11.83 kg/hp vs 12.11 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 18.13 seconds. The 0.17 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Bmw 116i is slightly faster than the Peugeot 3008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8 to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
