BMW M140i

The BMW M140i reaches 60 mph in 3.90 s (100 km/h in 4.10 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 14,946 cars in the set it is the 965th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 86th quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. Its 111.0 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 M140i 0-60 time?
The BMW M140i reaches 60 mph in 3.90 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 965th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
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. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
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. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the BMW M140i?
Closest here on pace: Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 AMG (X156) 2.0 4MATIC 380 (3.91 s), Mercedes-AMG GLA45 2.0 4MATIC+ 387 (3.91 s), Alpine A110 Mk II (3.96 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW M140i 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 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 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
