Off the line, the Bmw 530d Touring hits 100 km/h in 5.74 s versus 6.27 s for the Bmw 630i Gran Turismo. At this point, the Bmw 530d Touring leads by 0.53 s and sits roughly 8 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 530d Touring is doing 129 km/h against 127 km/h for the Bmw 630i Gran Turismo. The gap is 0.36 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 530d Touring crosses the line in 14.04 s versus 14.49 s. The 0.45 s gap represents roughly 19 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 530d Touring continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 179 km/h versus 176 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 530d Touring finishes in 25.76 s versus 26.40 s, with a 0.64 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 530d Touring and the Bmw 630i Gran Turismo 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 (6.60 kg/hp vs 6.67 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.92 seconds. The 0.53 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.
