Off the line, the Bmw 220d xDrive Gran Tourer hits 100 km/h in 7.66 s versus 8.65 s for the Bmw 118d. At this point, the Bmw 220d xDrive Gran Tourer leads by 0.99 s and sits roughly 19 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 220d xDrive Gran Tourer is doing 116 km/h against 113 km/h for the Bmw 118d. The gap is 0.75 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 220d xDrive Gran Tourer crosses the line in 15.55 s versus 16.41 s. The 0.86 s gap represents roughly 33 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 220d xDrive Gran Tourer continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 159 km/h versus 157 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 220d xDrive Gran Tourer finishes in 28.74 s versus 29.82 s, with a 1.08 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (216 vs 218 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Bmw 220d xDrive Gran Tourer and the Bmw 118d are governed to 218 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (8.53 kg/hp vs 9.37 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.03 seconds. The 0.99 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 220d xDrive Gran Tourer F44 wins (7,66 s vs 8,65 s).
