Off the line, the Bmw i4 eDrive35 hits 100 km/h in 6.08 s versus 8.51 s for the G9. At this point, the Bmw i4 eDrive35 leads by 2.43 s and sits roughly 26 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw i4 eDrive35 is doing 131 km/h against 120 km/h for the G9. The gap is 1.53 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw i4 eDrive35 crosses the line in 14.38 s versus 16.32 s. The 1.94 s gap represents roughly 78 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw i4 eDrive35 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 179 km/h versus 169 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw i4 eDrive35 finishes in 26.26 s versus 28.71 s, with a 2.45 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (200 vs 190 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the G9 is capped at 200 km/h, the Bmw i4 eDrive35 at 190 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 electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.18 kg/hp vs 6.99 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.63 seconds. The 2.43 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.
