Off the line, the Bmw 440i Gran Coupe hits 100 km/h in 5.15 s versus 5.73 s for the Bmw 430i. At this point, the Bmw 440i Gran Coupe leads by 0.59 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 440i Gran Coupe is doing 140 km/h against 132 km/h for the Bmw 430i. The gap is 0.38 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 440i Gran Coupe crosses the line in 13.32 s versus 13.97 s. The 0.66 s gap represents roughly 30 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 440i Gran Coupe continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 196 km/h versus 185 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 440i Gran Coupe finishes in 24.02 s versus 25.35 s, with a 1.33 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) vs 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Bmw 440i Gran Coupe and the Bmw 430i are governed to 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) 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 (5.00 kg/hp vs 5.99 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.91 seconds. The 0.59 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.
