Off the line, the Bmw M4 Competition hits 100 km/h in 3.83 s versus 4.56 s for the A110 Pure 252. At this point, the Bmw M4 Competition leads by 0.73 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw M4 Competition is doing 163 km/h against 151 km/h for the A110 Pure 252. The gap is 0.67 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw M4 Competition crosses the line in 11.61 s versus 12.61 s. The 1.00 s gap represents roughly 51 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw M4 Competition continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 227 km/h versus 209 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw M4 Competition finishes in 20.89 s versus 22.69 s, with a 1.80 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (277 km/h), the A110 Pure 252 never recovers its launch deficit.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Bmw M4 Competition never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.38 kg/hp vs 4.31 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.59 seconds. The 0.73 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, M4 Competition F82 wins (3,83 s vs 4,55 s).
M4 Competition F82 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,83 seconds (calibrated simulation).
