Off the line, the X2 sDrive20i hits 100 km/h in 7.80 s versus 8.59 s for the X2 sDrive20d. At this point, the X2 sDrive20i leads by 0.79 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the X2 sDrive20i is doing 120 km/h against 112 km/h for the X2 sDrive20d. The gap is 0.24 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the X2 sDrive20i crosses the line in 15.74 s versus 16.35 s. The 0.61 s gap represents roughly 23 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the X2 sDrive20i continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 166 km/h versus 154 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the X2 sDrive20i finishes in 28.39 s versus 29.99 s, with a 1.60 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the X2 sDrive20i is capped at 227 km/h, the X2 sDrive20d at 210 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 (7.60 kg/hp vs 10.03 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.32 seconds. The 0.79 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
