Off the line, the Bmw M5 Competition hits 100 km/h in 3.34 s versus 4.63 s for the Bmw 750Ld xDrive. At this point, the Bmw M5 Competition leads by 1.29 s and sits roughly 12 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw M5 Competition is doing 166 km/h against 145 km/h for the Bmw 750Ld xDrive. The gap is 1.11 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw M5 Competition crosses the line in 11.16 s versus 12.84 s. The 1.68 s gap represents roughly 81 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw M5 Competition continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 232 km/h versus 203 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw M5 Competition finishes in 20.32 s versus 23.18 s, with a 2.86 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.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Bmw M5 Competition and the Bmw 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 (3.03 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 1.29 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
