Off the line, the Bmw M240i hits 100 km/h in 4.67 s versus 8.35 s for the E-PACE P200. At this point, the Bmw M240i leads by 3.68 s and sits roughly 23 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw M240i is doing 147 km/h against 115 km/h for the E-PACE P200. The gap is 2.18 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw M240i crosses the line in 12.78 s versus 16.19 s. The 3.41 s gap represents roughly 128 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw M240i continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 205 km/h versus 159 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw M240i finishes in 23.03 s versus 29.41 s, with a 6.38 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw M240i is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the E-PACE P200 at 215 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 combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.49 kg/hp vs 8.74 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.46 seconds. The 3.68 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.
