Off the line, the P7 hits 100 km/h in 4.22 s versus 4.32 s for the Bmw M340i xDrive. The instant torque of 655 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. Despite the faster sprint time, the Bmw M340i xDrive is 1 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the Bmw M340i xDrive is doing 147 km/h against 147 km/h for the P7. The gap is 0.00 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw M340i xDrive crosses the line in 12.46 s versus 12.54 s. The 0.08 s gap represents roughly 4 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw M340i xDrive continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 206 km/h versus 170 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw M340i xDrive finishes in 22.65 s versus 25.24 s, with a 2.60 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the P7 is capped at 170 km/h, the Bmw M340i xDrive at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.58 seconds. The 0.11 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, P7 wins (4,21 s vs 4,32 s).
