BMW 5 Series 530d 193

The BMW 5 Series 530d 193 reaches 60 mph in 7.04 s (100 km/h in 7.44 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.53 s, tripping the lights at 90.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.54 s and the eighth mile in 10.08 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

The 2000 BMW 5 Series 530d 193 is a rear-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,700 kg with 190 bhp, which works out at 112 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 112 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.54 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,743rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 694th quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. Its 90.5 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 530d 193 0-60 time?
The BMW 5 Series 530d 193 reaches 60 mph in 7.04 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,743rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the BMW 5 Series 530d 193 quarter mile time?
15.53 s at 90.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.08 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.54 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the BMW 5 Series 530d 193 have?
190 bhp and 1,700 kg, which is 112 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?
Closest here on pace: Audi A6 2.7 V6 TDI CVT 190 (7.07 s), Lancia Thema 3.0 V6 239 (7.01 s), VW Passat 1.8 TSI 170 (7.02 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW 5 Series 530d 193 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 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.
