BMW M235i

The BMW M235i reaches 60 mph in 4.47 s (100 km/h in 4.70 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.08 s, tripping the lights at 106.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.05 s and the eighth mile in 8.44 s, reaching 100 mph in 11.61 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 M235i

The 2014 BMW M235i is a rear-drive turbocharged car of 1,455 kg with 322 bhp, which works out at 221 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 221 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.05 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,631st quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 181st 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 10 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the BMW M235i 0-60 time?
The BMW M235i reaches 60 mph in 4.47 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,631st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the BMW M235i quarter mile time?
13.08 s at 106.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.44 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.05 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the BMW M235i have?
322 bhp and 1,455 kg, which is 221 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 315 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the BMW M235i?
Closest here on pace: Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 3.2 V6 335 (4.47 s), Honda NSX facelift (4.47 s), Alpina B3 Biturbo (2007) (4.43 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW M235i 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 M235i is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 10 of its 11 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.
