Off the line, the Bmw i7 xDrive60 hits 100 km/h in 4.66 s versus 5.72 s for the Model 3 Long Range RWD. At this point, the Bmw i7 xDrive60 leads by 1.06 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw i7 xDrive60 is doing 145 km/h against 131 km/h for the Model 3 Long Range RWD. The gap is 0.75 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw i7 xDrive60 crosses the line in 12.86 s versus 14.16 s. The 1.30 s gap represents roughly 56 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw i7 xDrive60 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 203 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw i7 xDrive60 finishes in 23.17 s versus 26.28 s, with a 3.11 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw i7 xDrive60 is capped at 240 km/h, the Model 3 Long Range RWD at 225 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 (4.85 kg/hp vs 6.71 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.03 seconds. The 1.06 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.
