BMW X1 XDrive18d 150 vs BMW X3 M40i G01

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the BMW X3 M40i G01 is the quicker car, covering it in 12.99 s at 103.9 mph against the BMW X1 XDrive18d 150’s 16.39 s — a margin of 3.39 s. To 60 mph the BMW X3 M40i G01 takes 4.36 s and the BMW X1 XDrive18d 150 8.26 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 X1 XDrive18d 150 or the BMW X3 M40i G01 faster?
The BMW X3 M40i G01. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 12.99 s to the BMW X1 XDrive18d 150's 16.39 s, a margin of 3.39 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 4.36 s against 8.26 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the BMW X1 XDrive18d 150 0-60 time?
The BMW X1 XDrive18d 150 reaches 60 mph in 8.26 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.39 s at 82.4 mph.
What is the BMW X3 M40i G01 0-60 time?
The BMW X3 M40i G01 reaches 60 mph in 4.36 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.99 s at 103.9 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The BMW X1 XDrive18d 150 trips the lights at 82.4 mph and the BMW X3 M40i G01 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 X1 XDrive18d 150 and 10 of 10 for the BMW X3 M40i G01. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
