BMW 3 Series (F30) 320i Efficient Dynamics Edition 170 Auto
The BMW 3 Series (F30) 320i Efficient Dynamics Edition 170 Auto reaches 60 mph in 6.86 s (100 km/h in 7.26 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.26 s, tripping the lights at 91.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.35 s and the eighth mile in 9.83 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and

About the 3 Series (F30) 320i Efficient Dynamics Edition 170 Auto
The 2012 BMW 3 Series (F30) 320i Efficient Dynamics Edition 170 Auto is a rear-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,485 kg with 168 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 2.35 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,420th quickest to 60 mph, and the 636th quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. Its 91.5 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 (F30) 320i Efficient Dynamics Edition 170 Auto 0-60 time?
The BMW 3 Series (F30) 320i Efficient Dynamics Edition 170 Auto reaches 60 mph in 6.86 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,420th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the BMW 3 Series (F30) 320i Efficient Dynamics Edition 170 Auto quarter mile time?
15.26 s at 91.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.83 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.35 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the BMW 3 Series (F30) 320i Efficient Dynamics Edition 170 Auto have?
168 bhp and 1,485 kg, which is 113 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 8 gears and a quoted top speed of 230 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the BMW 3 Series (F30) 320i Efficient Dynamics Edition 170 Auto?
Closest here on pace: Mercedes-Benz S-Class S300 BlueTEC Hybrid Long 231 (6.86 s), Mercedes-Benz CLA (C117) 220d 4MATIC 177 (6.87 s), Audi A8 (D4) 2.0 TFSI Hybrid 211 (6.90 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW 3 Series (F30) 320i Efficient Dynamics Edition 170 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 (F30) 320i Efficient Dynamics Edition 170 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.
