Bmw X5 M Competition vs Model X 90D: chronicle of a drag race at 250 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Bmw X5 M Competition hits 100 km/h in 3.70 s versus 5.03 s for the Model X 90D. Despite lacking instant torque, 625 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Bmw X5 M Competition leads by 1.34 s and sits roughly 17 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Bmw X5 M Competition is doing 157 km/h against 147 km/h for the Model X 90D. The gap is 1.04 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw X5 M Competition crosses the line in 11.77 s versus 13.07 s. The 1.30 s gap represents roughly 64 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Bmw X5 M Competition continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 217 km/h versus 205 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw X5 M Competition finishes in 21.49 s versus 23.32 s, with a 1.83 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 vs 249 km/h), preventing any comeback.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Bmw X5 M Competition and the Model X 90D are governed to 250 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold — an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
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 7.09 seconds. The 1.34 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Bmw X5 M Competition has a clear edge over the Tesla Model X 90D to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
