About the 330i E90 272 PS

The 2006 BMW 330i E90 272 PS is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,480 kg with 268 bhp, which works out at 181 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 181 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.33 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,847th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 399th quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. Its 100.4 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 7 of 7 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the BMW 330i E90 272 PS 0-60 time?
The BMW 330i E90 272 PS reaches 60 mph in 5.65 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,847th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the BMW 330i E90 272 PS quarter mile time?
14.16 s at 100.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.20 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.33 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the BMW 330i E90 272 PS have?
268 bhp and 1,480 kg, which is 181 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 250 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the BMW 330i E90 272 PS?
Closest here on pace: Nissan Maxima 3.5 CVT 290 (5.64 s), Infiniti G37x (5.59 s), Audi S4 B5 (5.68 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW 330i E90 272 PS 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 330i E90 272 PS is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 of its 7 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
