EX40 Twin Motor AWD vs Bmw M240i Convertible: chronicle of a drag race at 250 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Bmw M240i Convertible hits 100 km/h in 4.56 s versus 4.93 s for the EX40 Twin Motor AWD. At this point, the Bmw M240i Convertible leads by 0.37 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Bmw M240i Convertible is doing 148 km/h against 144 km/h for the EX40 Twin Motor AWD. The gap is 0.31 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw M240i Convertible crosses the line in 12.72 s versus 13.14 s. The 0.42 s gap represents roughly 21 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Bmw M240i Convertible continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 206 km/h versus 180 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw M240i Convertible finishes in 22.97 s versus 25.14 s, with a 2.18 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the EX40 Twin Motor AWD is capped at 180 km/h, the Bmw M240i Convertible at 250 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 (5.17 kg/hp vs 4.81 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.30 seconds. The 0.37 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Bmw M240i Convertible is slightly faster than the Volvo EX40 Twin Motor AWD to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
