What is the BMW 3 Series (F30) 318 xDrive 143 0-60 time?

The BMW 3 Series (F30) 318 xDrive 143 reaches 60 mph in 8.28 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,078th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the BMW 3 Series (F30) 318 xDrive 143 quarter mile time?

16.38 s at 84.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.46 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.39 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the BMW 3 Series (F30) 318 xDrive 143 have?

141 bhp and 1,490 kg, which is 95 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 212 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the BMW 3 Series (F30) 318 xDrive 143?

Closest here on pace: Volvo S80 1.6 T4 180 (8.28 s), Volvo S80 1.6 T4F E85 180 (8.28 s), Volvo S60 2.0 D3 163 (8.27 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW 3 Series (F30) 318 xDrive 143 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 (F30) 318 xDrive 143 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.

About the 3 Series (F30) 318 xDrive 143

The 2012 BMW 3 Series (F30) 318 xDrive 143 is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,490 kg with 141 bhp, which works out at 95 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.39 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 7,078th quickest to 60 mph, and the 1,006th quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. Its 84.1 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.
