Off the line, the Bmw 120d hits 100 km/h in 7.15 s versus 8.32 s for the V 300 d 4MATIC (long). Despite the faster sprint time, the V 300 d 4MATIC (long) is 3 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 120d is doing 124 km/h against 114 km/h for the V 300 d 4MATIC (long). The gap is 0.17 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 120d crosses the line in 15.30 s versus 16.03 s. The 0.72 s gap represents roughly 28 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 120d continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 172 km/h versus 156 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 120d finishes in 27.53 s versus 29.55 s, with a 2.02 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the V 300 d 4MATIC (long) is capped at 217 km/h, the Bmw 120d at 228 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.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (9.44 kg/hp vs 7.45 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.08 seconds. The 1.17 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
