How Caralogy calculates these lap times
All values are produced by the Caralogy physics simulation engine from mass, SCx, power curve, max wheel torque, transmission ratio and traction. They may differ from published measurements as lap times vary by test protocol, specimen and conditions. Our goal is to provide comparable lap times across vehicles.
All-wheel drive: all 4 wheels capture full torque at launch, preventing wheelspin.
Analysis
BMW 123 xDrive performance analysis
+0,1 s vs the manufacturer figure
The BMW 123 xDrive reaches 100 km/h in 6,4 s in our simulation, i.e. +0,1 s against the 6,3 s quoted by the manufacturer. Performance times vary with many factors: test conditions (temperature, road surface, wind, tyres), the specific car tested (press vehicles are often in optimal trim), the measurement protocol of each tester, and the driver. That is why Autocar, Car and Driver or MotorTrend can quote different times for the same model. Caralogy does not try to reproduce those conditions — they are not reproducible at scale — but to provide times that are comparable between vehicles, computed under identical simulation conditions.
All-wheel drive off the line
With all-wheel drive, the BMW 123 xDrive splits torque across all four wheels off the line. This eliminates wheelspin and guarantees a launch with no loss of traction.
0–200 km/h and high speeds
The BMW 123 xDrive reaches 200 km/h in 27,5 s. At high speed, aerodynamic drag grows with the square of velocity. On the BMW 123 xDrive, going from 100 to 200 km/h takes 3,3× longer than 0 to 100 — 21,2 s against 6,4 s. CdA (frontal area × drag coefficient) and peak power become the deciding factors.
Position within the {0} segment
Where does the {0} stand against the other cars in its segment? BMW 123 xDrive sits among the cars of its segment. Times are compared under identical simulation conditions, so the ranking is fair.
Against its rivals: 0-100 km/h
