Off the line, the M440i Gran Coupé hits 100 km/h in 4.94 s versus 5.98 s for the 7 E-Tense 4x4 300. Despite lacking instant torque, 374 hp of power compensates. At this point, the M440i Gran Coupé leads by 1.04 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the M440i Gran Coupé is doing 144 km/h against 127 km/h for the 7 E-Tense 4x4 300. The gap is 0.58 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the M440i Gran Coupé crosses the line in 13.05 s versus 14.27 s. The 1.22 s gap represents roughly 52 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the M440i Gran Coupé continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 202 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the M440i Gran Coupé finishes in 23.48 s versus 26.41 s, with a 2.93 s lead.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the M440i Gran Coupé 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.63 seconds. The 1.04 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, M440i Gran Coupé G22 wins (4,94 s vs 5,98 s).
M440i Gran Coupé G22 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,94 seconds (calibrated simulation).
