Off the line, the Bmw 220i Gran Tourer hits 100 km/h in 7.57 s versus 9.71 s for the Bmw 116. At this point, the Bmw 220i Gran Tourer leads by 2.14 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 220i Gran Tourer is doing 121 km/h against 106 km/h for the Bmw 116. The gap is 0.54 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 220i Gran Tourer crosses the line in 15.55 s versus 16.88 s. The 1.33 s gap represents roughly 47 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 220i Gran Tourer continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 168 km/h versus 146 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 220i Gran Tourer finishes in 28.08 s versus 31.31 s, with a 3.22 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw 220i Gran Tourer is capped at 222 km/h, the Bmw 116 at 210 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 (7.73 kg/hp vs 11.39 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 16.84 seconds. The 2.14 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
