Off the line, the Bmw X3 xDrive30i hits 100 km/h in 6.35 s versus 7.45 s for the MONA M03. Despite lacking instant torque, 252 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Bmw X3 xDrive30i leads by 1.10 s and sits roughly 23 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw X3 xDrive30i is doing 126 km/h against 126 km/h for the MONA M03. The gap is 0.90 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw X3 xDrive30i crosses the line in 14.56 s versus 15.48 s. The 0.92 s gap represents roughly 39 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw X3 xDrive30i continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 175 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw X3 xDrive30i finishes in 26.56 s versus 27.51 s, with a 0.95 s lead.
The Bmw X3 xDrive30i features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the MONA M03’s RWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw X3 xDrive30i is capped at 240 km/h, the MONA M03 at 200 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.92 seconds. The 1.10 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
