Off the line, the 330d hits 100 km/h in 5.34 s versus 5.49 s for the 640i Gran Turismo. At this point, the 330d leads by 0.15 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 330d is doing 135 km/h against 137 km/h for the 640i Gran Turismo. The gap is 0.11 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 330d crosses the line in 13.63 s versus 13.66 s. The 0.03 s gap represents roughly 1 m of track
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. Past 400 metres, both rivals hit the same electronic ceiling at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h. Neither can claw back ground through top speed - the outcome hinges on the acceleration curve between 100 and 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h.
At 1,000 metres, the 640i Gran Turismo finishes in 24.62 s versus 24.78 s. The 0.16 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the 640i Gran Turismo and the 330d 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 (5.21 kg/hp vs 5.93 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.35 seconds. The 0.15 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 330d G20 wins (5,34 s vs 5,49 s).
640i Gran Turismo G32 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,49 seconds (calibrated simulation).
640i Gran Turismo G32: 340 hp, ratio 5,21 kg/hp. 330d G20: 286 hp, ratio 5,93 kg/hp.
640i Gran Turismo G32: 250 km/h. 330d G20: 250 km/h.
