About the 120d Edition Sport
The 2010 BMW 120d Edition Sport is a rear-drive turbocharged car of 1,485 kg with 174 bhp, which works out at 117 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 117 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.41 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,704th quickest to 60 mph, and the 685th quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. Its 90.0 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 10 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions
What is the BMW 120d Edition Sport 0-60 time?
The BMW 120d Edition Sport reaches 60 mph in 7.02 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,704th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the BMW 120d Edition Sport quarter mile time?
15.46 s at 90.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.95 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.41 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the BMW 120d Edition Sport have?
174 bhp and 1,485 kg, which is 117 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 228 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the BMW 120d Edition Sport?
Closest here on pace: Audi A3 1.8 TFSI 160 Auto (7.02 s), Audi A3 2.0 TDI quattro 170 (7.02 s), Audi A3 1.8 TFSI quattro 160 (7.02 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW 120d Edition Sport in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The BMW 120d Edition Sport is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 10 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
Figures regenerated 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
