Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204 vs BMW 7 Series (G11/G12) 740i 326

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the BMW 7 Series (G11/G12) 740i 326 is the quicker car, covering it in 13.33 s at 102.7 mph against the Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204’s 15.15 s — a margin of 1.82 s. To 60 mph the BMW 7 Series (G11/G12) 740i 326 takes 4.81 s and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204 6.77 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.

The BMW 7 Series (G11/G12) 740i 326. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 13.33 s to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204's 15.15 s, a margin of 1.82 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 4.81 s against 6.77 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204 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 92.5 mph.
What is the BMW 7 Series (G11/G12) 740i 326 0-60 time?
The BMW 7 Series (G11/G12) 740i 326 reaches 60 mph in 4.81 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.33 s at 102.7 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204 trips the lights at 92.5 mph and the BMW 7 Series (G11/G12) 740i 326 at 102.7 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 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204 and 2 of 2 for the BMW 7 Series (G11/G12) 740i 326. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
