Off the line, the Bmw 745e hits 100 km/h in 5.16 s versus 8.95 s for the Bmw 218i. The instant torque of 600 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Bmw 745e leads by 3.79 s and sits roughly 23 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 745e is doing 139 km/h against 112 km/h for the Bmw 218i. The gap is 2.01 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 745e crosses the line in 13.37 s versus 16.53 s. The 3.16 s gap represents roughly 116 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 745e continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 196 km/h versus 155 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 745e finishes in 24.07 s versus 30.06 s, with a 5.99 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw 745e is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Bmw 218i at 210 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit - it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
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 14.54 seconds. The 3.79 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
