About the 3 Series Sedan (F30) LCI 320d EfficientDynamics 163 Auto

The 2016 BMW 3 Series Sedan (F30) LCI 320d EfficientDynamics 163 Auto is a rear-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,430 kg with 161 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 2.36 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,726th quickest to 60 mph, and the 688th quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. Its 90.2 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 Sedan (F30) LCI 320d EfficientDynamics 163 Auto 0-60 time?
The BMW 3 Series Sedan (F30) LCI 320d EfficientDynamics 163 Auto reaches 60 mph in 7.03 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,726th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the BMW 3 Series Sedan (F30) LCI 320d EfficientDynamics 163 Auto quarter mile time?
15.42 s at 90.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.92 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.36 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the BMW 3 Series Sedan (F30) LCI 320d EfficientDynamics 163 Auto have?
161 bhp and 1,430 kg, which is 113 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbodiesel, with 8 gears and a quoted top speed of 225 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the BMW 3 Series Sedan (F30) LCI 320d EfficientDynamics 163 Auto?
Closest here on pace: Volvo S90 2.0 T4 190 (7.05 s), Jaguar XE 2.0 180 (7.07 s), Audi A4 2.0 TDI CVT 190 (6.98 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW 3 Series Sedan (F30) LCI 320d EfficientDynamics 163 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 Sedan (F30) LCI 320d EfficientDynamics 163 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.
