BMW Malaysia Launches 520i Luxury And 530e M Sport
所有资讯For those who have been wondering why BMW's lineup for the 5 Series has looked surprisingly lean since launch, wonder no more. BMW Malaysia has finally decided to introduce the 520i Luxury and 530e M Sport variants to the 5 Series lineup - the former which represents an entry level variant, and the latter being a more sporty proposition to the 530e that we know well.
The 520i Luxury is being launched at RM 328,800 - which puts it on par pricing wise with the 530e Sport. The 530e M Sport is going for RM 338,800, meaning customers need only pay an RM 10,000 premium over the regular 530e Sport in order to enjoy a wealth of new trim pieces and a more aggressive wheel design.
For the 520i Luxury, the engine is perhaps the largest distinction between it and the other variants. Powering it is a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 184 hp and 290 Nm of torque, sending all of its power to the rear wheels through a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission. The main trim differences are as follows:
- Chrome Plated Kidney Grille
- Chrome Exterior Trim
- 18-inch Light Alloy V-Spoke 684 Wheels
- Sensatec Dashboard
- Chrome Exhaust Tail Pipe Finishers
The 530e M Sport gets the same hybrid powertrain as the 530e Sport, meaning that it pairs a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with an electric motor for a total system output of 252 hp and 400 Nm of torque, all channeled to the rear wheels through the same ZF 8-speed automatic transmission. Trim differences between this and the regular 530e are as follows:
- BMW Individual High Gloss Shadow Line
- Front Grille with Active Air Stream
- 19-inch M Light Alloy Double-Spoke 664 M Wheels
- M sport Brake Callipers
- Two-Sided Exhaust Tail Pipe Finishers In Light Chrome
- Various M Badges
- Aluminium Rhombicle and Pearl Chrome interior trims
- M Leather Steering Wheel
- M-specific Pedals
- M Sports Seats
For these two models, the remainder of the items and features remain identical to that of other variants in the model range. As a quick recap, the 5 Series range now grows in size by two variants to a total of five, with three different powertrain options and four different trim levels. The pricing is as follows:
- BMW 520i Luxury - RM 328,888
- BMW 530e Sport - RM 328,888
- BMW 530e M Sport - RM 338,888
- BMW 530i M Sport - RM 372,800
