The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the M5 Touring hits 100 km/h in 3.55 s versus 4.22 s for the P7. At this point, the M5 Touring leads by 0.66 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the M5 Touring is doing 165 km/h against 147 km/h for the P7. The gap is 0.61 s. The gap remains stable from the start.

At 400 metres standing start, the M5 Touring crosses the line in 11.38 s versus 12.54 s. The 1.16 s gap represents roughly 55 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the M5 Touring continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 232 km/h versus 170 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the M5 Touring finishes in 20.40 s versus 25.24 s, with a 4.84 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the M5 Touring is capped at 305 km/h, the P7 at 170 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 electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.29 kg/hp vs 4.81 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.49 seconds. The 0.66 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
