BMW 5 Series 530d 193 Auto

The BMW 5 Series 530d 193 Auto reaches 60 mph in 7.20 s (100 km/h in 7.64 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.67 s, tripping the lights at 89.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.59 s and the eighth mile in 10.15 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 530d 193 Auto

The 2000 BMW 5 Series 530d 193 Auto is a rear-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,635 kg with 190 bhp, which works out at 116 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 116 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.59 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 5,018th quickest to 60 mph, and the 740th quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. Its 89.8 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 530d 193 Auto 0-60 time?
The BMW 5 Series 530d 193 Auto reaches 60 mph in 7.20 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,018th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the BMW 5 Series 530d 193 Auto quarter mile time?
15.67 s at 89.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.15 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.59 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the BMW 5 Series 530d 193 Auto have?
190 bhp and 1,635 kg, which is 116 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 230 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the BMW 5 Series 530d 193 Auto?
Closest here on pace: Citroen CX 2.5 168 (7.20 s), VW Arteon 2.0 TDI 190 (7.21 s), Mercedes-Benz A-Class Sedan (V177) A 200 163 DCT (7.30 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW 5 Series 530d 193 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 5 Series 530d 193 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.
