Off the line, the Bmw 225d hits 100 km/h in 6.40 s versus 6.58 s for the S90 B5 AWD. Despite the faster sprint time, the S90 B5 AWD is 4 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the S90 B5 AWD is doing 125 km/h against 130 km/h for the Bmw 225d. The gap is 0.03 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 225d crosses the line in 14.61 s versus 14.75 s. The 0.15 s gap represents roughly 6 m of track — barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 225d continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 180 km/h versus 176 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 225d finishes in 26.28 s versus 27.11 s, with a 0.83 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the S90 B5 AWD is capped at 180 km/h, the Bmw 225d at 243 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 (7.18 kg/hp vs 6.58 kg/hp) and transmission (auto vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.37 seconds. The 0.18 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.
