Off the line, the 220i Convertible hits 100 km/h in 7.69 s versus 8.14 s for the 220d Gran Tourer. At this point, the 220i Convertible leads by 0.45 s and sits roughly 20 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 220i Convertible is doing 115 km/h against 118 km/h for the 220d Gran Tourer. The gap is 0.65 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the 220i Convertible crosses the line in 15.61 s versus 16.10 s. The 0.49 s gap represents roughly 20 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows.
At 1,000 metres, the 220i Convertible finishes in 28.82 s versus 28.97 s, with just 0.15 s to spare. The 220d Gran Tourer fails to fully close the launch gap.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 220d Gran Tourer is capped at 220 km/h, the 220i Convertible at 226 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 (8.18 kg/hp vs 8.37 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.89 seconds. The 0.45 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 220i Convertible F22 wins (7,69 s vs 8,14 s).
220d Gran Tourer F22 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 8,14 seconds (calibrated simulation).
