BMW 330i (G20) vs Tesla Model 3 Performance

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Tesla Model 3 Performance is the quicker car, covering it in 11.79 s at 116.0 mph against the BMW 330i (G20)’s 13.72 s — a margin of 1.93 s. To 60 mph the Tesla Model 3 Performance takes 3.30 s and the BMW 330i (G20) 5.21 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 Tesla Model 3 Performance faster?
The Tesla Model 3 Performance. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 11.79 s to the BMW 330i (G20)'s 13.72 s, a margin of 1.93 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 3.30 s against 5.21 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 Tesla Model 3 Performance 0-60 time?
The Tesla Model 3 Performance reaches 60 mph in 3.30 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 11.79 s at 116.0 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The BMW 330i (G20) trips the lights at 100.9 mph and the Tesla Model 3 Performance at 116.0 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 8 of 10 for the Tesla Model 3 Performance. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
