BMW Group Malaysia previewed the new and localised (CKD)BMW 530i M Sport alongside the face-lifted 2025 BMW i4 eDrive35 M Sport earlier today.
BMW Group Malaysia kicked off the New Year earlier today on a high note by introducing two new offerings for the local market. We start with arguably the most critical of the two, that being the preview of the new BMW 530i M Sport.
The 530i M Sport slots above the 520i and 520i M Sport variants that’s already offered by the group. Similarly, this new and higher-specced guise of the combustion (ICE)-powered eighth-gen (chassis code: G60) 5 Series saloon is also a locally assembled (CKD) offering.
Apart from its M Sport exterior aerokit, this variant is also distinguished by its Iconic Glow Kidney Grille and 20-inch M light alloy wheels in style 938M pattern.
Under the hood, the 530i M Sport packs a peppier 2.0-litre 4-cyl turbo MHEV petrol mill outputting 258 HP and 400 NM.
Mechanically, the 530i M Sport adopts a peppier iteration of the same 2.0-litre 4-cyl turbo petrol mild hybrid (MHEV) mill powering its lower-end siblings mentioned. It boasts 50 HP and 70 NM more at 258 HP and 400 NM, and all are sent the rear wheels via an 8-speed automatic box.
Altogether, this enables 0-100 KM/H sprints in just 6.2 secs whilst enroute towards an electronically capped 250 KM/H V-max. Not only peppy, the 48-volt MHEV system primed in this package also sees it deliver class-leading fuel efficiency and low carbon emissions too.
Moving on to equipment and, naturally, this new range-topper has plenty of bells and whistles to boot. Starting with the chassis, this variant firstly gains Adaptive Suspension Professional, followed by Integral Active Steering that enables up to 2.5-degrees of rear-wheel-steering angle.
On board, the 530i M Sport offers the BMW Curved Display module and it's matched with top-shelf Bowers & Wilkins 655-watt 18-speaker audio suite, amongst many other features and amenities.
Step into its cabin and, besides the signature BMW Curved Display module that merges both a 12.3-inch instrument panel and 14.9-inch infotainment touchscreen, this range-topper gains a top-shelf Bowers & Wilkins 655-watt 18-speaker audio suite lining the cabin.
As for tech, the displays mentioned now run off the latest BMW Operating System 8.5 with QuickSelect, whilst drivers benefit with a bevy of assistance systems enabled through the Driving Assistant Plus and Parking Assist Plus packages that are primed as standard equipment.
The new BMW 530i M Sport sees five exterior paintjob options available matched with two dual-tone Merino leather interior colourway combinations. Lastly, there’s also an extensive catalogue of cost-option BMW M Performance parts for owners to personalise this sports sedan further with.
Bookings are now opened for the BMW 530i M Sport at an estimated starting price of RM400,000.
Should all this tickle your fancy, then be prepared. Set to arrive in showrooms soon, the BMW 530i M Sport is set to command and estimated price tag of RM400,000. Bookings for the new saloon are now opened at all authorised BMW dealership outlets nationwide.
So, what will be folk? Will you prefer this Kulim-built, Bavarian-badged fighter over its Pekan-built, Stuttgart-badged rival? Share your take in the comments below, as well as through our social media pages…
