Bmw 318i vs 3008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8: chronicle of a drag race at 223 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Bmw 318i hits 100 km/h in 8.33 s versus 10.70 s for the 3008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8. At this point, the Bmw 318i leads by 2.37 s and sits roughly 32 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Bmw 318i is doing 113 km/h against 106 km/h for the 3008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8. The gap is 1.44 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 318i crosses the line in 16.06 s versus 17.86 s. The 1.80 s gap represents roughly 64 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 318i continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 157 km/h versus 148 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 318i finishes in 29.44 s versus 32.11 s, with a 2.67 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 223 km/h, the Bmw 318i never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor — it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (9.55 kg/hp vs 11.83 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 17.37 seconds. The 2.37 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Bmw 318i has a clear edge over the Peugeot 3008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8 to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
