Off the line, the i5 M60 xDrive hits 100 km/h in 3.74 s versus 6.82 s for the G6. At this point, the i5 M60 xDrive leads by 3.08 s and sits roughly 24 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the i5 M60 xDrive is doing 152 km/h against 126 km/h for the G6. The gap is 2.13 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the i5 M60 xDrive crosses the line in 12.00 s versus 14.96 s. The 2.96 s gap represents roughly 122 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the i5 M60 xDrive continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 209 km/h versus 177 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the i5 M60 xDrive finishes in 22.08 s versus 26.81 s, with a 4.73 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the i5 M60 xDrive is capped at 230 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 (4.46 kg/hp vs 6.99 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.49 seconds. The 3.08 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, i5 M60 xDrive G60 wins (3,74 s vs 6,82 s).
i5 M60 xDrive G60 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,74 seconds (calibrated simulation).
