The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the M4 Competition Coupe hits 100 km/h in 3.94 s versus 4.63 s for the 750Ld xDrive. At this point, the M4 Competition Coupe leads by 0.69 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the M4 Competition Coupe is doing 163 km/h against 145 km/h for the 750Ld xDrive. The gap is 0.63 s. The gap remains stable from the start.

At 400 metres standing start, the M4 Competition Coupe crosses the line in 11.70 s versus 12.84 s. The 1.14 s gap represents roughly 56 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the M4 Competition Coupe continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 229 km/h versus 203 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the M4 Competition Coupe finishes in 20.93 s versus 23.18 s, with a 2.25 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.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the M4 Competition Coupe and the 750Ld xDrive 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 (3.38 kg/hp vs 4.95 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.01 seconds. The 0.69 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
