Off the line, the Bmw 330d hits 100 km/h in 5.40 s versus 8.36 s for the DS9 E-Tense 250. Despite lacking instant torque, 265 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Bmw 330d leads by 2.96 s and sits roughly 34 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 330d is doing 134 km/h against 121 km/h for the DS9 E-Tense 250. The gap is 2.06 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 330d crosses the line in 13.68 s versus 16.22 s. The 2.54 s gap represents roughly 102 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 330d continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 187 km/h versus 170 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 330d finishes in 24.90 s versus 28.57 s, with a 3.67 s lead.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h, the Bmw 330d 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.32 seconds. The 2.96 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
