BMW 330i (G20) vs Audi A3 1.6 102 (2008)

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the BMW 330i (G20) is the quicker car, covering it in 13.72 s at 100.9 mph against the Audi A3 1.6 102 (2008)’s 18.09 s — a margin of 4.36 s. To 60 mph the BMW 330i (G20) takes 5.21 s and the Audi A3 1.6 102 (2008) 10.76 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 330i (G20) or the Audi A3 1.6 102 (2008) faster?
The BMW 330i (G20). Over a standing quarter mile it runs 13.72 s to the Audi A3 1.6 102 (2008)'s 18.09 s, a margin of 4.36 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 5.21 s against 10.76 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the BMW 330i (G20) 0-60 time?
The BMW 330i (G20) reaches 60 mph in 5.21 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.72 s at 100.9 mph.
What is the Audi A3 1.6 102 (2008) 0-60 time?
The Audi A3 1.6 102 (2008) reaches 60 mph in 10.76 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 18.09 s at 78.4 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The BMW 330i (G20) trips the lights at 100.9 mph and the Audi A3 1.6 102 (2008) at 78.4 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 — 1 of 1 for the BMW 330i (G20) and 2 of 2 for the Audi A3 1.6 102 (2008). Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
