Off the line, the Bmw X6 M Competition hits 100 km/h in 3.83 s versus 9.16 s for the Q3 SUV. At this point, the Bmw X6 M Competition leads by 5.33 s and sits roughly 29 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw X6 M Competition is doing 155 km/h against 111 km/h for the Q3 SUV. The gap is 3.24 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw X6 M Competition crosses the line in 11.93 s versus 16.93 s. The 5.00 s gap represents roughly 172 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw X6 M Competition continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 215 km/h versus 151 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw X6 M Competition finishes in 21.75 s versus 30.84 s, with a 9.09 s lead.
The Bmw X6 M Competition features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Q3 SUV’s FWD. 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 X6 M Competition is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Q3 SUV at 209 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 (3.71 kg/hp vs 10.40 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 16.01 seconds. The 5.33 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, X6 M Competition G06 wins (3,83 s vs 9,16 s).
X6 M Competition G06 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,83 seconds (calibrated simulation).
