Off the line, the Bmw X3 xDrive30i hits 100 km/h in 6.35 s versus 6.47 s for the Macan. At this point, the Bmw X3 xDrive30i leads by 0.12 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw X3 xDrive30i is doing 126 km/h against 127 km/h for the Macan. The gap is 0.15 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw X3 xDrive30i crosses the line in 14.56 s versus 14.70 s. The 0.13 s gap represents roughly 6 m of track — barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw X3 xDrive30i continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 175 km/h versus 175 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw X3 xDrive30i finishes in 26.56 s versus 26.72 s, with a 0.16 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (240 vs 229 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw X3 xDrive30i is capped at 240 km/h, the Macan at 232 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 (6.81 kg/hp vs 7.32 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.13 seconds. The 0.12 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.
