BMW 530d GT

The BMW 530d GT reaches 60 mph in 6.26 s (100 km/h in 6.64 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.78 s, tripping the lights at 93.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.24 s and the eighth mile in 9.46 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 530d GT

The 2009 BMW 530d GT is a rear-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,960 kg with 241 bhp, which works out at 123 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 123 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.24 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,577th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 499th quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. Its 93.4 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 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the BMW 530d GT 0-60 time?
The BMW 530d GT reaches 60 mph in 6.26 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,577th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the BMW 530d GT quarter mile time?
14.78 s at 93.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.46 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.24 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the BMW 530d GT have?
241 bhp and 1,960 kg, which is 123 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 245 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the BMW 530d GT?
Closest here on pace: Mercedes-Benz CLS (C219) 320 CDI 224 (6.32 s), Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class (C219) 320 CDI 224 (6.32 s), Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake 220d 4MATIC 190 (6.33 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW 530d GT 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 530d GT is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 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.
