Off the line, the Bmw 120d hits 100 km/h in 7.37 s versus 7.38 s for the Bmw 120d. The 0.01 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 120d is doing 121 km/h against 121 km/h for the Bmw 120d. The gap is 0.02 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 120d crosses the line in 15.41 s versus 15.45 s. The 0.04 s gap represents roughly 2 m of track
Past 400 metres, nothing changes. Same ceiling, same acceleration, same trajectory — both rivals run in formation to the line. The 0.13 s gap at 1,000 metres confirms what the specs already suggested: on track, they’re interchangeable. The real contest happens elsewhere — range, comfort, charging network reliability.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Bmw 120d and the Bmw 120d are governed to 231 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 (7.63 kg/hp vs 7.63 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.63 seconds. The 0.01 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.
