Off the line, the i5 M60 xDrive Touring hits 100 km/h in 3.90 s versus 4.44 s for the Model 3 Long Range AWD. At this point, the i5 M60 xDrive Touring leads by 0.54 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the i5 M60 xDrive Touring is doing 150 km/h against 143 km/h for the Model 3 Long Range AWD. The gap is 0.42 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the i5 M60 xDrive Touring crosses the line in 12.16 s versus 12.80 s. The 0.64 s gap represents roughly 31 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the i5 M60 xDrive Touring continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 207 km/h versus 196 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the i5 M60 xDrive Touring finishes in 22.30 s versus 23.49 s, with a 1.19 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (230 vs 233 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the i5 M60 xDrive Touring is capped at 230 km/h, the Model 3 Long Range AWD at 233 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 (4.55 kg/hp vs 5.34 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.85 seconds. The 0.54 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, i5 M60 xDrive Touring G60 wins (3,90 s vs 4,44 s).
i5 M60 xDrive Touring G60 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,90 seconds (calibrated simulation).
