Off the line, the Bmw 730Ld hits 100 km/h in 6.25 s versus 9.36 s for the Bmw 218i Active Tourer. At this point, the Bmw 730Ld leads by 3.11 s and sits roughly 23 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 730Ld is doing 129 km/h against 110 km/h for the Bmw 218i Active Tourer. The gap is 1.56 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 730Ld crosses the line in 14.46 s versus 16.89 s. The 2.44 s gap represents roughly 89 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 730Ld continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 181 km/h versus 152 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 730Ld finishes in 26.03 s versus 30.73 s, with a 4.69 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw 730Ld is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Bmw 218i Active Tourer at 205 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 (6.87 kg/hp vs 10.07 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 15.28 seconds. The 3.11 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
