Off the line, the M340d xDrive hits 100 km/h in 4.57 s versus 4.63 s for the 750Ld xDrive. The 0.06 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the M340d xDrive is doing 140 km/h against 145 km/h for the 750Ld xDrive. The gap is 0.11 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 750Ld xDrive crosses the line in 12.84 s versus 12.86 s. The 0.03 s gap represents roughly 1 m of track
Past 400 metres, the 750Ld xDrive continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 203 km/h versus 197 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 750Ld xDrive finishes in 23.18 s versus 23.52 s, with a 0.34 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 M340d 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 5.61 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.23 seconds. The 0.06 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 750Ld xDrive G11 and M340d xDrive G20 are neck and neck (4,57 s vs 4,63 s, no significant gap).
750Ld xDrive G11 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,63 seconds (calibrated simulation).
750Ld xDrive G11: 400 hp, ratio 4,95 kg/hp. M340d xDrive G20: 340 hp, ratio 5,61 kg/hp.
750Ld xDrive G11: 250 km/h. M340d xDrive G20: 250 km/h.
