BMW Malaysia has introduced the New BMW X1 sDrive20i M Sport and the New BMW 320i Sport, two new variants to their portfolio of locally-assembled vehicles in Malaysia. Further delivering on the premium automaker’s continued investments in the country and in line with the aim of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) to strengthen the automotive industry in the year 2020.
“In 2019, over 2,500 units of BMW 3 Series models were delivered. This success continues to underline our lead in the premium sports sedan segment of Malaysia, bolstering our expansions into adding more locally-assembled BMW vehicles in our Kulim facility. The BMW X models also charted record highs in our local deliveries last year, accounting for more than 43% of vehicles in the BMW portfolio delivered in 2019. With these strong figures, we are confident that 2020 will present more opportunities for our segment-leading models to rise with the local automotive industry,” said Harald Hoelzl, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia.
The BMW X1 established the premium compact SAV segment in 2009 and is the best-selling vehicle in its class today. To maintain this leading position, the BMW X1 has undergone a comprehensive update in vehicle design and technological innovation to produce the New BMW X1 sDrive20i M Sport variant. Complementing the release of the new SAV is a new variant to the seventh generation of the iconic sports sedan introduced in March 2019, the New BMW 320i Sport. Having won the Autonis 2019, the design of the new BMW 3 Series is a modern take on the sporty elegance for which BMW is renowned for.
Both models will be on display at key locations across Kuala Lumpur (details in the table below). Test drives will also be available on-site, along with exclusive BMW red packet and fortune cookie giveaways as well as exciting family-friendly activities to entertain all ages.

The New BMW X1 sDrive20i M Sport.
The New BMW X1 sDrive20i M Sport now emanates a stronger road presence. The two halves of the larger kidney grille are now joined in the middle. The redesigned front bumper with integrated LED fog lights and larger air intakes also lend the new SAV a more dynamic appearance. The tubes in the LED headlights have a hexagonal shape, underscoring the modern looks of the New BMW X1 sDrive20i M Sport.
The Lights Package also includes a Welcome Light Carpet. When the vehicle is unlocked, an LED light source in the driver’s-side exterior mirror projects the characters “X1” onto the ground in two tones. The LED rear lights features a new design, with a single LED bar drawing the familiar L signature from side to side.
The ten-millimetre drop in ride height (now 1,588mm) thanks to the M Sport Suspension, the BMW Individual High-gloss Shadow Line trim and the M Aerodynamics Package add to the efficiency and athleticism of the new SAV. This is further illustrated by the right and left tailpipes, which have grown in diameter from 70 to 90 millimetres. The new SAV also features 18-inch M light alloy wheels in Double-Spoke Style 570 M Bicolour.
