Bmw i5 eDrive40 Touring vs P7: chronicle of a drag race at 193 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 Touring hits 100 km/h in 6.12 s versus 6.58 s for the P7. At this point, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 Touring leads by 0.46 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 Touring is doing 134 km/h against 127 km/h for the P7. The gap is 0.24 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 Touring crosses the line in 14.33 s versus 14.81 s. The 0.48 s gap represents roughly 21 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 Touring continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 184 km/h versus 170 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 Touring finishes in 25.96 s versus 27.64 s, with a 1.68 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw i5 eDrive40 Touring 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 (6.96 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.
Bmw i5 eDrive40 Touring has a clear edge over the Xpeng P7 to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
