Off the line, the 220i Convertible hits 100 km/h in 7.60 s versus 7.69 s for the 220i Convertible. The 0.09 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the 220i Convertible is doing 115 km/h against 118 km/h for the 220i Convertible. The gap is 0.07 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 220i Convertible crosses the line in 15.54 s versus 15.61 s. The 0.06 s gap represents roughly 3 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the 220i Convertible continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 163 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 220i Convertible finishes in 28.42 s versus 28.82 s, with a 0.40 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (220 vs 226 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the 220i Convertible and the 220i Convertible are governed to 226 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 (8.37 kg/hp vs 8.59 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 0.09 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 220i Convertible F22 and 220i Convertible F44 are neck and neck (7,60 s vs 7,69 s, no significant gap).
220i Convertible F22 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 7,69 seconds (calibrated simulation).
220i Convertible F22: 184 hp, ratio 8,37 kg/hp. 220i Convertible F44: 184 hp, ratio 8,59 kg/hp.
220i Convertible F22: 220 km/h. 220i Convertible F44: 226 km/h.
