About the 5 Series Touring 520i 184
The 2021 BMW 5 Series Touring 520i 184 is a rear-drive turbocharged estate of 1,790 kg with 181 bhp, which works out at 101 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 101 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.39 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 5,530th quickest to 60 mph, and the 830th quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. Its 88.0 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 Touring 520i 184 0-60 time?
The BMW 5 Series Touring 520i 184 reaches 60 mph in 7.48 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,530th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the BMW 5 Series Touring 520i 184 quarter mile time?
15.76 s at 88.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.12 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.39 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the BMW 5 Series Touring 520i 184 have?
181 bhp and 1,790 kg, which is 101 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 8 gears and a quoted top speed of 225 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the BMW 5 Series Touring 520i 184?
Closest here on pace: VW Golf VI Variant 1.4 TSI 160 DCT (7.56 s), Opel Insignia Country Tourer 1.6 Turbo 200 (7.57 s), Ford Mondeo Wagon 2.2 Duratorq TDCi 200 HP (7.53 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW 5 Series Touring 520i 184 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 Touring 520i 184 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 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
