BMW M140i

The BMW M140i reaches 60 mph in 3.90 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.38 s, tripping the lights at 111.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.91 s and the eighth mile in 7.94 s, reaching 100 mph in 9.72 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 M140i

The 2016 BMW M140i is a rear-drive turbocharged car of 1,475 kg with 335 bhp, which works out at 227 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 227 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.91 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 731st quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 62nd quickest of the 297 BMWs here. It leaves better than it pulls: 111.0 mph at the lights is only the 956th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. 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.

What is the BMW M140i quarter mile time?
12.38 s at 111.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.94 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.91 s.
How much power does the BMW M140i have?
335 bhp and 1,475 kg, which is 227 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 7 gears and a quoted top speed of 250 km/h.
What cars are comparable to the BMW M140i?
Closest here on pace: Alpine A110 Mk II (3.96 s), VW Golf R MK VIII facelift (3.98 s), Lotus Evora 400 (3.96 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW M140i in the panel at the top of this page.
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 M140i 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 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
