Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the BMW M140i is the quicker car,
covering it in 12.38 s at
111.0 mph against the BMW 340i F30’s
12.76 s — a margin of
0.38 s. To 60 mph the BMW M140i takes
3.90 s and the BMW 340i F30
4.27 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.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —

9/10 for the BMW 340i F30 —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
The BMW M140i. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 12.38 s to the BMW 340i F30's 12.76 s, a margin of 0.38 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 3.90 s against 4.27 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the BMW M140i 0-60 time?
The BMW M140i reaches 60 mph in 3.90 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.38 s at 111.0 mph.
What is the BMW 340i F30 0-60 time?
The BMW 340i F30 reaches 60 mph in 4.27 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.76 s at 108.8 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The BMW M140i trips the lights at 111.0 mph and the BMW 340i F30 at 108.8 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 — 9 of 10 for the BMW M140i and 9 of 10 for the BMW 340i F30. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
