Off the line, the DS9 E-Tense 250 hits 100 km/h in 8.36 s versus 11.45 s for the Bmw 216i. The instant torque of 520 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the DS9 E-Tense 250 leads by 3.09 s and sits roughly 16 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the DS9 E-Tense 250 is doing 121 km/h against 103 km/h for the Bmw 216i. The gap is 1.10 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the DS9 E-Tense 250 crosses the line in 16.22 s versus 18.27 s. The 2.05 s gap represents roughly 71 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the DS9 E-Tense 250 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 170 km/h versus 143 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the DS9 E-Tense 250 finishes in 28.57 s versus 33.03 s, with a 4.46 s lead.
Electronically capped at 190 km/h, the Bmw 216i 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 19.01 seconds. The 3.09 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
