BMW 3 Series Touring (F31) 320i xDrive 184 Auto

The BMW 3 Series Touring (F31) 320i xDrive 184 Auto reaches 60 mph in 6.80 s (100 km/h in 7.24 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.21 s, tripping the lights at 89.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.14 s and the eighth mile in 9.65 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 (F31) 320i xDrive 184 Auto

The 2012 BMW 3 Series Touring (F31) 320i xDrive 184 Auto is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged estate of 1,575 kg with 181 bhp, which works out at 115 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.14 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 4,325th quickest to 60 mph, and the 618th quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. It leaves better than it pulls: 89.2 mph at the lights is only the 5,459th 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.

The BMW 3 Series Touring (F31) 320i xDrive 184 Auto reaches 60 mph in 6.80 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,325th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the BMW 3 Series Touring (F31) 320i xDrive 184 Auto quarter mile time?
15.21 s at 89.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.65 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.14 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the BMW 3 Series Touring (F31) 320i xDrive 184 Auto have?
181 bhp and 1,575 kg, which is 115 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, 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 Touring (F31) 320i xDrive 184 Auto?
Closest here on pace: Audi A4 Avant 2.0 40 TDI quattro S tronic 190 (6.80 s), Mercedes-Benz C-Class T-Modell (S205) C 200 183 Auto (6.77 s), Audi A4 Avant 2.0 40 TSFI S tronic 190 (6.79 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW 3 Series Touring (F31) 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 Touring (F31) 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.
