Off the line, the Bmw 218d hits 100 km/h in 8.35 s versus 8.85 s for the Bmw 218d. At this point, the Bmw 218d leads by 0.50 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 218d is doing 114 km/h against 112 km/h for the Bmw 218d. The gap is 0.29 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 218d crosses the line in 16.17 s versus 16.56 s. The 0.38 s gap represents roughly 15 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 218d continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 158 km/h versus 155 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 218d finishes in 29.45 s versus 30.12 s, with a 0.67 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (210 vs 213 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw 218d is capped at 210 km/h, the Bmw 218d at 213 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 (9.63 kg/hp vs 9.47 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.40 seconds. The 0.50 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.
