Off the line, the Bmw M5 CS hits 100 km/h in 3.03 s versus 4.94 s for the SQ2. At this point, the Bmw M5 CS leads by 1.91 s and sits roughly 12 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw M5 CS is doing 170 km/h against 133 km/h for the SQ2. The gap is 1.70 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw M5 CS crosses the line in 10.81 s versus 13.47 s. The 2.66 s gap represents roughly 118 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw M5 CS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 231 km/h versus 190 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw M5 CS finishes in 19.94 s versus 24.55 s, with a 4.61 s lead.
Electronically capped at 305 km/h, the Bmw M5 CS 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.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (2.87 kg/hp vs 5.12 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.36 seconds. The 1.91 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
