Questions

Is the BMW X3 M 3.0 480 or the Lexus RX 350 3.5 V6 295 faster?
The BMW X3 M 3.0 480. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 12.07 s to the Lexus RX 350 3.5 V6 295's 15.75 s, a margin of 3.69 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 3.76 s against 7.35 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the BMW X3 M 3.0 480 0-60 time?
The BMW X3 M 3.0 480 reaches 60 mph in 3.76 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.07 s at 114.7 mph.
What is the Lexus RX 350 3.5 V6 295 0-60 time?
The Lexus RX 350 3.5 V6 295 reaches 60 mph in 7.35 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.75 s at 85.8 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The BMW X3 M 3.0 480 trips the lights at 114.7 mph and the Lexus RX 350 3.5 V6 295 at 85.8 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 — 2 of 2 for the BMW X3 M 3.0 480 and 2 of 2 for the Lexus RX 350 3.5 V6 295. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
