BMW 3 Series Touring 330d 184

The BMW 3 Series Touring 330d 184 reaches 60 mph in 7.12 s (100 km/h in 7.54 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.62 s, tripping the lights at 88.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.54 s and the eighth mile in 10.13 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 Touring 330d 184

The 1999 BMW 3 Series Touring 330d 184 is a rear-drive turbodiesel estate of 1,615 kg with 181 bhp, which works out at 112 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 112 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.54 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,892nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 718th quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. Its 88.9 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 Touring 330d 184 0-60 time?
The BMW 3 Series Touring 330d 184 reaches 60 mph in 7.12 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,892nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the BMW 3 Series Touring 330d 184 quarter mile time?
15.62 s at 88.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.13 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.54 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the BMW 3 Series Touring 330d 184 have?
181 bhp and 1,615 kg, which is 112 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 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 Touring 330d 184?
Closest here on pace: Chrysler 300C Touring 3.0 CRD 215 (7.10 s), Audi A4 Avant 2.0 TDI ultra 190 Auto (7.13 s), Audi A4 Avant 3.0 TDI quattro 204 Auto (7.10 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW 3 Series Touring 330d 184 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 Touring 330d 184 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.
