BMW M135i F20

The BMW M135i F20 reaches 60 mph in 4.76 s (100 km/h in 4.97 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.10 s, tripping the lights at 106.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.00 s and the eighth mile in 8.49 s, reaching 100 mph in 11.06 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 M135i F20

The 2012 BMW M135i F20 is a rear-drive turbocharged car of 1,440 kg with 315 bhp, which works out at 219 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 219 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.00 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,915th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 235th quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. Its 106.7 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.

Questions

What is the BMW M135i F20 0-60 time?
The BMW M135i F20 reaches 60 mph in 4.76 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,915th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the BMW M135i F20 quarter mile time?
13.10 s at 106.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.49 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.00 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the BMW M135i F20 have?
315 bhp and 1,440 kg, which is 219 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 250 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the BMW M135i F20?
Closest here on pace: Cupra Leon VZ TCR Edition (4.74 s), Chrysler Crossfire SRT-6 (4.73 s), Subaru Impreza 22B STI Version (4.80 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW M135i F20 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 M135i F20 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 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
