Off the line, the Bmw 320e hits 100 km/h in 7.46 s versus 8.36 s for the DS9 E-Tense 250. At this point, the Bmw 320e leads by 0.90 s and sits roughly 32 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 320e is doing 115 km/h against 121 km/h for the DS9 E-Tense 250. The gap is 1.11 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 320e crosses the line in 15.43 s versus 16.22 s. The 0.78 s gap represents roughly 33 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The Bmw 320e maxes out at 215 km/h while the DS9 E-Tense 250 keeps accelerating towards 235 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.45 s.
Around 875 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the DS9 E-Tense 250 overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 20 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the DS9 E-Tense 250 finishes in 28.57 s versus 28.77 s. The 0.20 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Electronically capped at 220 km/h, the Bmw 320e 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.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.51 kg/hp vs 8.65 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.74 seconds. The 0.90 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
