Off the line, the Bmw M240i Coupé hits 100 km/h in 4.68 s versus 5.76 s for the IS 350 F Sport RWD. At this point, the Bmw M240i Coupé leads by 1.08 s and sits roughly 11 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw M240i Coupé is doing 149 km/h against 137 km/h for the IS 350 F Sport RWD. The gap is 0.77 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw M240i Coupé crosses the line in 12.70 s versus 13.83 s. The 1.12 s gap represents roughly 53 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw M240i Coupé continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 210 km/h versus 193 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw M240i Coupé finishes in 22.71 s versus 24.69 s, with a 1.97 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) vs 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Bmw M240i Coupé and the IS 350 F Sport RWD are governed to 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold — an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.37 kg/hp vs 5.58 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.49 seconds. The 1.08 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.
