Off the line, the Bmw X7 xDrive40i hits 100 km/h in 6.17 s versus 7.76 s for the e:Ny1. Despite lacking instant torque, 340 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Bmw X7 xDrive40i leads by 1.59 s and sits roughly 26 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw X7 xDrive40i is doing 127 km/h against 122 km/h for the e:Ny1. The gap is 1.20 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw X7 xDrive40i crosses the line in 14.39 s versus 15.82 s. The 1.43 s gap represents roughly 58 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw X7 xDrive40i continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 176 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw X7 xDrive40i finishes in 26.32 s versus 29.40 s, with a 3.08 s lead.
The Bmw X7 xDrive40i features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the e:Ny1’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 X7 xDrive40i is capped at 245 km/h, the e:Ny1 at 160 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 11.83 seconds. The 1.59 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, X7 xDrive40i G07 wins (6,17 s vs 7,76 s).
