Off the line, the 745e hits 100 km/h in 5.16 s versus 5.91 s for the 330e xDrive. At this point, the 745e leads by 0.75 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 745e is doing 139 km/h against 133 km/h for the 330e xDrive. The gap is 0.52 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 745e crosses the line in 13.37 s versus 14.11 s. The 0.75 s gap represents roughly 34 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 745e continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 196 km/h versus 187 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 745e finishes in 24.07 s versus 25.34 s, with a 1.27 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 745e is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the 330e xDrive at 230 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.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.08 kg/hp vs 6.23 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.98 seconds. The 0.75 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.
