Off the line, the Bmw 750Li xDrive hits 100 km/h in 4.05 s versus 4.18 s for the Bmw M3. At this point, the Bmw 750Li xDrive leads by 0.13 s and sits roughly 1 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 750Li xDrive is doing 162 km/h against 154 km/h for the Bmw M3. The gap is 0.23 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 750Li xDrive crosses the line in 11.80 s versus 12.25 s. The 0.45 s gap represents roughly 24 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 750Li xDrive continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 229 km/h versus 216 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 750Li xDrive finishes in 21.02 s versus 21.95 s, with a 0.92 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 Bmw 750Li xDrive and the Bmw M3 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 (3.81 kg/hp vs 3.55 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.22 seconds. The 0.13 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 750Li xDrive G11 wins (4,04 s vs 4,18 s).
750Li xDrive G11 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,04 seconds (calibrated simulation).
