About the 3 Series Cabriolet (E93) 325d 197 Auto
The 2007 BMW 3 Series Cabriolet (E93) 325d 197 Auto is a rear-drive turbodiesel roadster of 1,725 kg with 194 bhp, which works out at 113 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 113 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.43 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 5,021st quickest to 60 mph, and the 741st quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. Its 89.4 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Each one can be raced against the BMW 3 Series Cabriolet (E93) 325d 197 Auto 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 3 Series Cabriolet (E93) 325d 197 Auto 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.
