Off the line, the Bmw M4 Competition Coupe hits 100 km/h in 3.94 s versus 7.73 s for the A5 Avant. At this point, the Bmw M4 Competition Coupe leads by 3.80 s and sits roughly 19 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw M4 Competition Coupe is doing 163 km/h against 117 km/h for the A5 Avant. The gap is 2.42 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw M4 Competition Coupe crosses the line in 11.70 s versus 15.68 s. The 3.98 s gap represents roughly 150 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw M4 Competition Coupe continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 229 km/h versus 162 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw M4 Competition Coupe finishes in 20.93 s versus 28.61 s, with a 7.68 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) vs 240 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw M4 Competition Coupe is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h, the A5 Avant at 240 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 (3.38 kg/hp vs 9.00 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.40 seconds. The 3.80 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
