BMW 525d Touring

The BMW 525d Touring reaches 60 mph in 7.37 s (100 km/h in 7.79 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.72 s, tripping the lights at 90.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.55 s and the eighth mile in 10.21 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.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the 525d Touring

The 2007 BMW 525d Touring is a rear-drive turbocharged estate of 1,690 kg with 194 bhp, which works out at 115 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 115 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.55 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 5,285th quickest to 60 mph, and the 790th quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. Its 90.2 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 9 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the BMW 525d Touring 0-60 time?
The BMW 525d Touring reaches 60 mph in 7.37 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,285th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the BMW 525d Touring quarter mile time?
15.72 s at 90.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.21 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.55 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the BMW 525d Touring have?
194 bhp and 1,690 kg, which is 115 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 232 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the BMW 525d Touring?
Closest here on pace: VW Passat Variant 2.0 TDI SCR BlueMotion 190 (7.35 s), Mazda 6/Atenza Wagon 2.5 SKYACTIV-G Drive 194 (7.33 s), VW Passat Variant 1.8 TSI BlueMotion 180 (7.32 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW 525d Touring 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 525d Touring is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 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.
