Bmw M4 Convertible vs Macan GTS: chronicle of a drag race at 256 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Bmw M4 Convertible hits 100 km/h in 4.69 s versus 5.06 s for the Macan GTS. The 0.38 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Bmw M4 Convertible is doing 151 km/h against 138 km/h for the Macan GTS. The gap is 0.31 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw M4 Convertible crosses the line in 12.64 s versus 13.37 s. The 0.73 s gap represents roughly 34 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Bmw M4 Convertible continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 213 km/h versus 191 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw M4 Convertible finishes in 22.51 s versus 24.40 s, with a 1.88 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 vs 256 km/h), preventing any comeback.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw M4 Convertible is capped at 250 km/h, the Macan GTS at 256 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 (4.15 kg/hp vs 5.26 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.89 seconds. The 0.38 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Bmw M4 Convertible has a clear edge over the Porsche Macan GTS to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
