Off the line, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 hits 100 km/h in 6.12 s versus 7.35 s for the ID.3 Pro. At this point, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 leads by 1.23 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 is doing 135 km/h against 121 km/h for the ID.3 Pro. The gap is 0.64 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 crosses the line in 14.29 s versus 15.50 s. The 1.21 s gap represents roughly 49 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 186 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 finishes in 25.87 s versus 29.13 s, with a 3.26 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw i5 eDrive40 is capped at 193 km/h, the ID.3 Pro at 160 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 (6.81 kg/hp vs 8.82 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.71 seconds. The 1.23 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.
