About the 2 Series 218i 136 Auto

The 2013 BMW 2 Series 218i 136 Auto (2013) is a rear-drive turbocharged car of 1,360 kg with 134 bhp, which works out at 99 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 99 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.38 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 5,010th quickest to 60 mph, and the 737th quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. It leaves better than it pulls: 87.9 mph at the lights is only the 5,962nd highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

The BMW 2 Series 218i 136 Auto (2013) reaches 60 mph in 7.19 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,010th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the BMW 2 Series 218i 136 Auto (2013) quarter mile time?
15.62 s at 87.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.03 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.38 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the BMW 2 Series 218i 136 Auto (2013) have?
134 bhp and 1,360 kg, which is 99 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 8 gears and a quoted top speed of 209 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the BMW 2 Series 218i 136 Auto (2013)?
Closest here on pace: Peugeot e-208 51 kWh 158 (7.21 s), Peugeot e-208 50 kWh (7.25 s), VW Scirocco 1.4 TSI 160 DCT (7.20 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW 2 Series 218i 136 Auto (2013) 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 2 Series 218i 136 Auto (2013) is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
