Car Forum / BMW Cars / March 2005Braking Time 100-0
Hi Do anybody know how long a 1996 BMW 328i should take to come to a dead stop from 100km/h? Dry flat tar road, driver response time excluded. Thanks!

Autocar in the UK test braking distances as well as performance figures, and it's quite common for cars to beat 1G from those sort of speeds on a grippy test track.

Car & Driver tests cars from 70mph to zero. Most good cars, including BMWs, do it in about 175-185 feet. That's probably in the 3 second range. Road and Track tests 60-0, you might check their back issues. Floyd you will find that on vehicles with DSC that ABS will very seldom initialize on an emergency 100 - 0 stop 330xi@canada.com >> Do anybody know how long a 1996 BMW 328i should take to come to a dead >> stop from 100km/h?
