About the 330d E90 facelift E90

The 2008 BMW 330d E90 facelift E90 is a rear-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,535 kg with 241 bhp, which works out at 157 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 157 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.16 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,818th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 390th quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. Its 97.1 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 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

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 330d E90 facelift E90 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
