Off the line, the M140i xDrive hits 100 km/h in 4.43 s versus 4.63 s for the 750Ld xDrive. At this point, the M140i xDrive leads by 0.20 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the M140i xDrive is doing 147 km/h against 145 km/h for the 750Ld xDrive. The gap is 0.15 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the M140i xDrive crosses the line in 12.64 s versus 12.84 s. The 0.20 s gap represents roughly 10 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the M140i xDrive continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 203 km/h versus 203 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the M140i xDrive finishes in 23.01 s versus 23.18 s, with a 0.17 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 750Ld xDrive and the M140i xDrive 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 (4.95 kg/hp vs 4.53 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.01 seconds. The 0.20 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, M140i xDrive F20LCI wins (4,43 s vs 4,63 s).
750Ld xDrive G11 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,63 seconds (calibrated simulation).
