BMW 520d (G30) vs Audi A6 2.0 TDI C7 facelift 190 PS

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the BMW 520d (G30) is the quicker car, covering it in 15.15 s at 92.3 mph against the Audi A6 2.0 TDI C7 facelift 190 PS’s 15.65 s — a margin of 0.49 s. To 60 mph the BMW 520d (G30) takes 6.77 s and the Audi A6 2.0 TDI C7 facelift 190 PS 7.40 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 520d (G30) or the Audi A6 2.0 TDI C7 facelift 190 PS faster?
The BMW 520d (G30). Over a standing quarter mile it runs 15.15 s to the Audi A6 2.0 TDI C7 facelift 190 PS's 15.65 s, a margin of 0.49 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 6.77 s against 7.40 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the BMW 520d (G30) 0-60 time?
The BMW 520d (G30) reaches 60 mph in 6.77 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.15 s at 92.3 mph.
What is the Audi A6 2.0 TDI C7 facelift 190 PS 0-60 time?
The Audi A6 2.0 TDI C7 facelift 190 PS reaches 60 mph in 7.40 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.65 s at 94.3 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The BMW 520d (G30) trips the lights at 92.3 mph and the Audi A6 2.0 TDI C7 facelift 190 PS at 94.3 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 520d (G30) and 10 of 10 for the Audi A6 2.0 TDI C7 facelift 190 PS. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
