Off the line, the Bmw 220i Gran Tourer hits 100 km/h in 7.57 s versus 7.76 s for the Bmw 220d. The 0.19 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 220i Gran Tourer is doing 121 km/h against 119 km/h for the Bmw 220d. The gap is 0.06 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 15.72 s. The 0.17 s gap represents roughly 7 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 220i Gran Tourer continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 168 km/h versus 164 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 220i Gran Tourer finishes in 28.08 s versus 28.54 s, with a 0.45 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (222 vs 222 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Bmw 220i Gran Tourer and the Bmw 220d are governed to 222 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 (7.73 kg/hp vs 7.82 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.25 seconds. The 0.19 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 220i Gran Tourer F22 wins (7,57 s vs 7,76 s).
220i Gran Tourer F22 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 7,57 seconds (calibrated simulation).
