What is the BMW 520d (G30) 0-60 time?

The BMW 520d (G30) reaches 60 mph in 6.77 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,276th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the BMW 520d (G30) quarter mile time?

15.15 s at 92.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.77 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 520d (G30) have?

188 bhp and 1,540 kg, which is 122 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbodiesel, with 8 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 520d (G30)?

Closest here on pace: Jaguar XF (X250) 2.0 200 (6.77 s), Mercedes-Benz S-Class 320 V6 CDI Lang 235 (6.77 s), Mercedes-Benz G-Class 5-door 500 V8 296 (6.77 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW 520d (G30) 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 520d (G30) 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.

BMW 520d (G30)

The BMW 520d (G30) reaches 60 mph in 6.77 s (100 km/h in 7.16 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.15 s, tripping the lights at 92.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.33 s and the eighth mile in 9.77 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 520d (G30)

The 2017 BMW 520d (G30) 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 2.33 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,276th quickest to 60 mph, and the 604th quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. Its 92.3 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.
