Bmw X6 M Competition vs Seal 390 AWD: chronicle of a drag race at 250 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Bmw X6 M Competition hits 100 km/h in 3.70 s versus 3.77 s for the Seal 390 AWD. Despite lacking instant torque, 625 hp of power compensates. The 0.07 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Bmw X6 M Competition is doing 158 km/h against 155 km/h for the Seal 390 AWD. The gap is 0.08 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw X6 M Competition crosses the line in 11.77 s versus 11.93 s. The 0.17 s gap represents roughly 8 m of track — barely a car length.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Bmw X6 M Competition continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 218 km/h versus 180 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw X6 M Competition finishes in 21.45 s versus 23.93 s, with a 2.48 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw X6 M Competition is capped at 250 km/h, the Seal 390 AWD at 180 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 5.59 seconds. The 0.07 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Bmw X6 M Competition and BYD Seal 390 AWD are virtually tied to 100 km/h. The gap is under a tenth of a second — only the physics engine can settle it step by step.
