CONFIDENCE 97%The G6 reaches 100 km/h first (3.80 s vs 3.92 s), but the Bmw i4 is ahead at every metre of the race. Explanation: the Bmw i4 accelerates harder at low speed and builds a distance gap before either car hits 100 km/h.
Why this result?
The Xpeng G6 is faster at 0-100 km/h, but the Bmw i4 M50 xDrive compensates at high speed thanks to higher peak power or top speed. At 400 m, Bmw i4 M50 xDrive leads by 0.02 s.

Bmw i4 M50 xDrive vs G6: chronicle of a drag race at 225 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the G6 hits 100 km/h in 3.80 s versus 3.92 s for the Bmw i4 M50 xDrive. At this point, the G6 leads by 0.12 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the G6 is doing 152 km/h against 155 km/h for the Bmw i4 M50 xDrive. The gap is 0.06 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw i4 M50 xDrive crosses the line in 12.01 s versus 12.03 s. The 0.02 s gap represents roughly 1 m of track
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Bmw i4 M50 xDrive continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 216 km/h versus 200 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw i4 M50 xDrive finishes in 21.97 s versus 22.89 s, with a 0.92 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw i4 M50 xDrive is capped at 225 km/h, the G6 at 200 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 electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.07 kg/hp vs 4.41 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.75 seconds. The 0.12 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Bmw i4 M50 xDrive and Xpeng G6 are virtually tied to 100 km/h. The gap is under a tenth of a second — only the physics engine can settle it step by step.
