About the 3 Series (E90) 320d 177 Auto

The 2005 BMW 3 Series (E90) 320d 177 Auto is a rear-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,420 kg with 174 bhp, which works out at 123 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 123 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.34 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,725th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 523rd quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. Its 92.8 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.

Questions

What is the BMW 3 Series (E90) 320d 177 Auto 0-60 time?
The BMW 3 Series (E90) 320d 177 Auto reaches 60 mph in 6.39 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,725th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the BMW 3 Series (E90) 320d 177 Auto quarter mile time?
14.93 s at 92.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.63 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.34 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the BMW 3 Series (E90) 320d 177 Auto have?
174 bhp and 1,420 kg, which is 123 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 229 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the BMW 3 Series (E90) 320d 177 Auto?
Closest here on pace: Audi A5 Coupé 3.0 TDI CVT 204 (6.35 s), Audi A4 3.0 V6 TDI CVT 204 (6.35 s), Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W212) 300 BlueTec 231 (6.41 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW 3 Series (E90) 320d 177 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 (E90) 320d 177 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.
