BMW 5 Series 520d 190

The BMW 5 Series 520d 190 reaches 60 mph in 6.99 s (100 km/h in 7.34 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.29 s, tripping the lights at 93.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.43 s and the eighth mile in 9.94 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 5 Series 520d 190

The 2017 BMW 5 Series 520d 190 is a rear-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,540 kg with 188 bhp, which works out at 122 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 122 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.43 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,627th quickest to 60 mph, and the 672nd quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. Its 93.5 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 5 Series 520d 190 0-60 time?
The BMW 5 Series 520d 190 reaches 60 mph in 6.99 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,627th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the BMW 5 Series 520d 190 quarter mile time?
15.29 s at 93.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.94 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.43 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the BMW 5 Series 520d 190 have?
188 bhp and 1,540 kg, which is 122 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 238 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the BMW 5 Series 520d 190?
Closest here on pace: Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W212) 250 CDi BlueEFICIENCY 204 (6.99 s), Opel Insignia Grand Sport 2.0 Turbo 200 (6.97 s), Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W221) 350 V6 CDI 4MATIC 235 (7.00 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW 5 Series 520d 190 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 5 Series 520d 190 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.
