Off the line, the X4 xDrive30d hits 100 km/h in 5.86 s versus 5.98 s for the 7 E-Tense 4x4 300. Despite lacking instant torque, 265 hp of power compensates. Despite the faster sprint time, the 7 E-Tense 4x4 300 is 1 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the 7 E-Tense 4x4 300 is doing 127 km/h against 129 km/h for the X4 xDrive30d. The gap is 0.00 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the X4 xDrive30d crosses the line in 14.18 s versus 14.27 s. The 0.09 s gap represents roughly 4 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the X4 xDrive30d continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 177 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the X4 xDrive30d finishes in 26.04 s versus 26.41 s, with a 0.36 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (230 vs 240 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Electronically capped at 240 km/h, the X4 xDrive30d never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
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 9.63 seconds. The 0.12 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, X4 xDrive30d G02 wins (5,86 s vs 5,98 s).
