KUALA LUMPUR: My BMW World is back with a vengeance. After an absence of 10 years, the BMW showcase returns, parading the biggest BMW range ever in Malaysia.
Topping it off are new model launches as the event organiser, BMW Group Malaysia, today launched four new locally assembled models: the 218i Gran Coupe Sport, 320i Sport, 330i M Sport and the X3 20 xDrive M Sport.
As if that's not enough, it also reeled out the all-new hybrid BMW M5, M4, M2 and new R 1300 RT touring motorcycle.
Aside from the launched models, My BMW World 2025 also paraded an impressive array of models spanning its core, performance and touring segments. MINIs also joined the line-up.
All models include BMW Group Malaysia’s ownership programmes, comprising BMW Service & Repair Inclusive (BSRI), Proactive Care, ConnectedDrive services, a five-year unlimited mileage warranty, and 24/7 roadside assistance.
Located at The Yard, Sentul Depot, Kuala Lumpur, the three-day BMW extravaganza will be open to the public from June 13-15 (9am to 5pm).
Starting with the CKD and updated 3 Series range was the new 330i M Sport featuring M Aerodynamics bodywork and 19-inch alloys.
Under the hood is a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine that continues to deliver 258hp and 400Nm of torque that's managed by an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Meanwhile, the 320i Sport gets 18-inch wheels and chromed accents while power output remains at a conservative 184hp and 300Nm.
Both variants are equipped with BMW’s latest Curved Display - a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster joined with a 14.9-inch central touchscreen, all while running the latest BMW Operating System 8.5.
Next is the compact 218i Gran Coupe Sport, a four-door coupe powered by a 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged engine providing 156hp and 230Nm that's mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Inside, the cabin offers Veganza upholstery, ambient lighting and the latest BMW Operating System 9 for enhanced connectivity and functionality.
The ever-popular X3 20 xDrive M Sport has gone through a mild refresh while retaining its 2.0-litre turbocharged engine supported by 48-volt mild hybrid technology.
With 140kW (190hp) and 310Nm of torque on tap, the twist is delivered through the Bavarian marque's xDrive all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, while a new BMW Interaction Bar and Curved Display dominate the cabin.
BMW’s M Division grabbed attention with the all-new M5, making its debut as the first-ever electrified M5 in history.
Under the hood is a 4.4-litre V8 paired with a 145kW electric motor that produces a combined output of 727hp and 1,000Nm.
The hybrid M5 is able to sprint from 0 to 100kph in just 3.5 seconds, while offering up to 69km of all-electric range.
The aggressively-styled exterior is matched by a high-tech cabin that includes BMW’s Curved Display, M-specific controls, Merino leather seats and a Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system.
Alongside the M5 was the refreshed M3 Competition M xDrive, which also made an appearance with its "boosted" 530hp version of the familiar 3.0-litre straight-six engine.
Equipped with xDrive AWD system and adaptive M suspension, the sporty four-door sedan is said to be both blisteringly fast while doubling as a daily driver.
For driving purists, the updated M2 continues to offer rear-wheel-driven thrills through an uprated engine delivering 480hp (+20hp) from its six-cylinder engine.
While subtle exterior tweaks and a new M steering wheel refreshed this compact coupe, an adaptive suspension and a 50:50 weight distribution helped elevate driver engagement.
Rounding off the M range was the Malaysian debut of the M4 Competition Coupe M xDrive (also with 530hp), combining straight-line speed with the agility of the M xDrive’s AWD traction.
The interior boasts M Carbon bucket seats, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and M Drive Professional to step up its track-ready persona.
BMW Motorrad introduced the R 1300 RT touring motorcycle that's powered by its most powerful boxer engine to date, a 1,300cc twin-cylinder boxer unit with 145hp and 149Nm on tap.
The R 1300 RT combines long-distance comfort with an athletic performance, the result of a revised chassis that incorporates BMW’s latest EVO Telelever and Paralever systems.
This helps to shave off 1.4kg in unsprung weight via the use of hollow-spoke aluminium wheels.
Visually, the new design comes together as sleeker and more aerodynamic, while the redesigned rider triangle provides improved control and comfort for both rider and passenger.
The bike features a large 10.25-inch full-colour TFT display, adaptive cornering LED headlights, Dynamic Chassis Adaption (DCA), multiple riding modes, radar-assisted cruise control, and BMW’s Automated Shift Assistant (ASA) that allows for clutchless shifts in both manual and automatic modes.
Three variants and two limited editions are offered. Only five units of each limited edition of Triple Black and Impulse are available.
