BMW 320d (G20) vs BMW M235i xDrive Coupe MK I

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the BMW M235i xDrive Coupe MK I is the quicker car, covering it in 13.10 s at 103.9 mph against the BMW 320d (G20)’s 14.57 s — a margin of 1.47 s. To 60 mph the BMW M235i xDrive Coupe MK I takes 4.50 s and the BMW 320d (G20) 6.14 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the BMW 320d (G20) or the BMW M235i xDrive Coupe MK I faster?
The BMW M235i xDrive Coupe MK I. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 13.10 s to the BMW 320d (G20)'s 14.57 s, a margin of 1.47 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 4.50 s against 6.14 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the BMW 320d (G20) 0-60 time?
The BMW 320d (G20) reaches 60 mph in 6.14 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.57 s at 97.8 mph.
What is the BMW M235i xDrive Coupe MK I 0-60 time?
The BMW M235i xDrive Coupe MK I reaches 60 mph in 4.50 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.10 s at 103.9 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The BMW 320d (G20) trips the lights at 97.8 mph and the BMW M235i xDrive Coupe MK I at 103.9 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 2 of 2 for the BMW 320d (G20) and 10 of 10 for the BMW M235i xDrive Coupe MK I. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
