What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time for the BMW 525?
2 Answers
The BMW 525 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds. Below are the relevant details about the BMW 525: Power specifications: The BMW 525 is equipped with a turbocharged engine with a displacement of 1998mL. It delivers a maximum power of 245 kW/333 hp (at 6100 rpm) and a maximum torque of 450 N·m (at 3600 rpm), with a top speed of 250 km/h. Configuration highlights: It continues the BMW family design, featuring the iconic chrome-adorned kidney grille that exudes refinement and premium quality. The luxury package's front fascia is eye-catching, projecting an overall sense of prestige and authority that highlights status. The intelligent air flap control system comes as standard - the grille shuts when starting to help the engine reach optimal temperature faster, and closes appropriately during driving to reduce aerodynamic drag and enhance driving experience.
I've been driving a BMW 525 for several years. The official 0-100 km/h acceleration time is around 7.5 seconds, depending on the version you drive. For example, the 525Li is slightly heavier and a bit slower in acceleration. I previously tested it in daily driving conditions, and a full throttle acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h took about 7.8 seconds. It feels quite smooth without any jerking. The engine is a 2.0T turbocharged one, delivering steady power output, which is particularly useful when overtaking, especially on highways where it doesn’t lag. However, it's not all advantages; vehicle weight and tire wear can also affect performance. I recommend regularly checking tire pressure and maintaining the engine system to avoid carbon buildup slowing it down. In terms of fuel consumption, it's quite economical for this level of acceleration, typically around 9 liters in city driving. Compared to V6 engine cars, it’s more fuel-efficient and practical. Overall, as a family car, this acceleration is more than sufficient, and there’s no need to chase the thrill of a 6-second sprint.
