Off the line, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 hits 100 km/h in 6.12 s versus 6.58 s for the P7. The 0.46 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 is doing 135 km/h against 127 km/h for the P7. The gap is 0.22 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 14.81 s. The 0.52 s gap represents roughly 22 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 186 km/h versus 170 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 finishes in 25.87 s versus 27.64 s, with a 1.77 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw i5 eDrive40 is capped at 193 km/h, the P7 at 170 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 7.59 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.18 seconds. The 0.46 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.
