Off the line, the Bmw 220d Active Tourer hits 100 km/h in 8.42 s versus 9.63 s for the Bmw 218i Gran Tourer. At this point, the Bmw 220d Active Tourer leads by 1.21 s and sits roughly 11 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 220d Active Tourer is doing 115 km/h against 109 km/h for the Bmw 218i Gran Tourer. The gap is 0.53 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 220d Active Tourer crosses the line in 16.26 s versus 17.07 s. The 0.81 s gap represents roughly 30 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 220d Active Tourer continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 159 km/h versus 151 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 220d Active Tourer finishes in 29.52 s versus 31.02 s, with a 1.50 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw 220d Active Tourer is capped at 220 km/h, the Bmw 218i Gran 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 (9.60 kg/hp vs 10.11 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 15.80 seconds. The 1.21 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
