Off the line, the iX M60 hits 100 km/h in 3.72 s versus 6.14 s for the X3 xDrive30e. At this point, the iX M60 leads by 2.43 s and sits roughly 18 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the iX M60 is doing 151 km/h against 127 km/h for the X3 xDrive30e. The gap is 1.63 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the iX M60 crosses the line in 11.94 s versus 14.38 s. The 2.44 s gap represents roughly 102 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the iX M60 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 212 km/h versus 176 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the iX M60 finishes in 21.84 s versus 26.28 s, with a 4.43 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 X3 xDrive30e at 210 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 plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.26 kg/hp vs 6.82 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.78 seconds. The 2.43 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 6,14 s).
iX M60 I20 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,71 seconds (calibrated simulation).
