Off the line, the Bmw 745e hits 100 km/h in 5.16 s versus 6.00 s for the Model 3 RWD. At this point, the Bmw 745e leads by 0.84 s and sits roughly 11 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 745e is doing 139 km/h against 133 km/h for the Model 3 RWD. The gap is 0.61 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 745e crosses the line in 13.37 s versus 14.23 s. The 0.86 s gap represents roughly 39 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 185 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 745e finishes in 24.07 s versus 25.66 s, with a 1.58 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 Model 3 RWD at 201 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 6.21 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.08 seconds. The 0.84 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.
