Off the line, the Bmw M440i hits 100 km/h in 4.83 s versus 5.94 s for the IS 350 F Sport RWD. At this point, the Bmw M440i leads by 1.12 s and sits roughly 12 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw M440i is doing 146 km/h against 136 km/h for the IS 350 F Sport RWD. The gap is 0.80 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw M440i crosses the line in 12.93 s versus 14.07 s. The 1.15 s gap represents roughly 52 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw M440i continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 205 km/h versus 188 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw M440i finishes in 23.15 s versus 25.26 s, with a 2.11 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) vs 240 km/h), preventing any comeback.
The Bmw M440i features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the IS 350 F Sport RWD’s RWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw M440i is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h, the IS 350 F Sport RWD 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 (4.53 kg/hp vs 5.43 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.71 seconds. The 1.12 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
