Off the line, the Bmw 216i Active Tourer hits 100 km/h in 10.41 s versus 11.36 s for the Bmw 216d Gran Tourer. At this point, the Bmw 216i Active Tourer leads by 0.95 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 216i Active Tourer is doing 105 km/h against 102 km/h for the Bmw 216d Gran Tourer. The gap is 0.38 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 216i Active Tourer crosses the line in 17.50 s versus 18.06 s. The 0.55 s gap represents roughly 19 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 216i Active Tourer continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 146 km/h versus 141 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 216i Active Tourer finishes in 31.91 s versus 32.93 s, with a 1.02 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (206 vs 192 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw 216i Active Tourer is capped at 206 km/h, the Bmw 216d Gran Tourer at 192 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit — it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (12.05 kg/hp vs 12.76 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 19.19 seconds. The 0.95 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
