BMW 3 Series (F30) 320i xDrive 184 Auto

The BMW 3 Series (F30) 320i xDrive 184 Auto reaches 60 mph in 6.71 s (100 km/h in 7.14 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.13 s, tripping the lights at 89.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.13 s and the eighth mile in 9.60 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 (F30) 320i xDrive 184 Auto

The 2012 BMW 3 Series (F30) 320i xDrive 184 Auto is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,490 kg with 181 bhp, which works out at 122 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.13 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 4,186th quickest to 60 mph, and the 585th quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. It leaves better than it pulls: 89.9 mph at the lights is only the 5,206th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the BMW 3 Series (F30) 320i xDrive 184 Auto 0-60 time?
The BMW 3 Series (F30) 320i xDrive 184 Auto reaches 60 mph in 6.71 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,186th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the BMW 3 Series (F30) 320i xDrive 184 Auto quarter mile time?
15.13 s at 89.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.60 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.13 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the BMW 3 Series (F30) 320i xDrive 184 Auto have?
181 bhp and 1,490 kg, which is 122 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-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 xDrive 184 Auto?
Closest here on pace: Jaguar XF (X250) 2.0 200 (6.77 s), Volvo S60 2.5T 210 (6.65 s), VW Passat Sedan 2.0 TDI SCR 4MOTION BlueMotion 190 (6.72 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW 3 Series (F30) 320i xDrive 184 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 xDrive 184 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.
