Off the line, the iX M60 hits 100 km/h in 3.72 s versus 3.92 s for the i4 M50 xDrive. At this point, the iX M60 leads by 0.21 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the iX M60 is doing 151 km/h against 155 km/h for the i4 M50 xDrive. The gap is 0.16 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the iX M60 crosses the line in 11.94 s versus 12.01 s. The 0.07 s gap represents roughly 4 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the iX M60 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 216 km/h versus 212 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the iX M60 finishes in 21.84 s versus 21.97 s, with a 0.12 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the iX M60 is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the i4 M50 xDrive 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 (4.26 kg/hp vs 4.07 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.80 seconds. The 0.21 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, iX M60 I20 wins (3,71 s vs 3,92 s).
iX M60 I20 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,71 seconds (calibrated simulation).
