Off the line, the Bmw 320d hits 100 km/h in 6.83 s versus 7.57 s for the Bmw 220i Gran Tourer. At this point, the Bmw 320d leads by 0.74 s and sits roughly 18 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 320d is doing 120 km/h against 121 km/h for the Bmw 220i Gran Tourer. The gap is 0.66 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 320d crosses the line in 14.95 s versus 15.55 s. The 0.60 s gap represents roughly 25 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The Bmw 220i Gran Tourer maxes out at 222 km/h while the Bmw 320d keeps accelerating towards 240 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.54 s.
At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 320d finishes in 27.60 s versus 28.08 s, with just 0.49 s to spare. The Bmw 220i Gran Tourer fails to fully close the launch gap.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw 220i Gran Tourer is capped at 222 km/h, the Bmw 320d at 240 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 8.11 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.62 seconds. The 0.74 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.
