BMW 3 Series Coupe (E92) 330i xDrive 272

The BMW 3 Series Coupe (E92) 330i xDrive 272 reaches 60 mph in 5.53 s (100 km/h in 5.81 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.94 s, tripping the lights at 101.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.15 s and the eighth mile in 9.00 s, reaching 100 mph in 13.56 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the 3 Series Coupe (E92) 330i xDrive 272

The 2011 BMW 3 Series Coupe (E92) 330i xDrive 272 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,530 kg with 268 bhp, which works out at 175 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.15 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,705th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 372nd quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. Its 101.0 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

13.94 s at 101.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.00 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.15 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the BMW 3 Series Coupe (E92) 330i xDrive 272 have?
268 bhp and 1,530 kg, which is 175 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 249 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the BMW 3 Series Coupe (E92) 330i xDrive 272?
Closest here on pace: Renault Megane RS 265 Trophy (5.51 s), Porsche Cayenne 3.0 V6 340 (5.55 s), Renault Clio RS III Coupe (5.51 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW 3 Series Coupe (E92) 330i xDrive 272 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 Coupe (E92) 330i xDrive 272 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.
