BMW Group Malaysia today confirms its pricing for the “First-Ever BMW 330Li M Sport” which was officially revealed on April 9; it is RM277,164.22, with sales and services tax exemption (on the road, without insurance).
The 330Li M Sport, Malaysia’s first-ever locally assembled BMW 3 Series in the long wheelbase variant, comes complete with the new My BMW App for greater digital interaction between driver and vehicle.
Elegant composition of comfort, sportiness
Practicality through enhanced space and comfort aside, the 330Li M Sport’s elongated body provides “an elegance in design” that flows seamlessly from front to end.
The kidney grilles precedes the car’s sporty yet sophisticated design language, arriving in black struts distinctively framed in chrome.
Flanking the grilles are state-of-the-art adaptive LED headlights capable of automatically adjusting to varying road conditions.
From the sides, an increased overall length of 4,819mm (+110mm) and an increased wheelbase of 2,961mm (+110mm) form the main visual differentiator of the 330Li M Sport from the current 330i M Sport, accompanied also by an increased height of 1,441mm (+6mm) relative to the latter.
The new saloon’s elegance is enhanced with the new dynamic silhouette design, framed with the BMW Individual high-gloss shadow line and completed with a slight coupe-like roofline.
Other features that complete the exterior are the M Aerodynamics and M Sport packages, a set of 18-inch M light alloy wheels in double-spoke style 848 M bicolour with mixed tyres and run-flat tyres, double-sided exhaust tailpipe finishers with a trapezoidal design in the rear, as well as the panorama glass roof and welcome light carpet on both sides.
Under the bonnet is a four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine capable of a maximum output of 258hp at 5,000-6,500rpm and a peak torque of 400Nm at 1,550- 4,400rpm. Power is transmitted via a Steptronic Sport transmission.
Accelerating from 0-100 km/h is done in only 6.2 seconds and the car’s top speed is capped at 250km/h.
As for the interior, a modern ambience and luxurious design are paramount, with interior trim finishers in aluminium tetragon with highlight trim finishers in pearl chrome furnishing the cabin.
The new dimensions are reflected in an increase of 4mm in headroom compared to the 330i M Sport, as well as an additional 42mm legroom available for rear passengers – providing unparalleled spatial comfort and luxury.
Boot space is measured at 480 litres, improved with the storage compartment package that offers more stowage possibilities.
In the cockpit, the driver is greeted with an M leather steering wheel and M-specific pedals. For greater utility, automatic anti-dazzle function is also equipped for both interior and exterior mirrors, as well as electric seat adjustment with memory function for the driver.
Other interior highlights are velour floor mats, ambient lights with 11 predefined lighting designs, automatic air-conditioning with three-zone control and a hi-fi system.
The Comfort Access System that also comes standard provides an added layer of convenience.
The infotainment, navigation and driver display systems come in the form of the BMW Live Cockpit Professional with a fully digital 12.3-inch instrument display, as well as the BMW Navigation System Professional with 10.25-inch touch-sensitive display.
Instrument panel in Sensatec and metallic “galvanic embellishers” for controls further lends an exclusive ambience to the interior, integrating functionality and luxury.
To enhance convenience and assistance, the 330Li M Sport comes comprehensively equipped with cruise control with braking function, parking assistant with rear view mirror and the BMW Active Pedestrian Safety system.
Driving Assistant also comes standard and includes features such as lane departure warning, lane change warning, front collision warning, cross traffic warning and rear collision prevention.
The Intelligent Emergency Call functionality also ensures live assistance and support are available at all times.
Owners will now be able to have greater digital interaction with the 330Li M Sport via the new My BMW App that provides easy access to a wide range of remote services, on-the-go navigation and e-mobility features.
The application will replace the BMW Connected App from this month and is now available for download on both Android and iOS-enabled smartphones.
The 330Li M Sport comes in two colour offerings – Mineral White and Carbon Black. Leather Vernasca upholstery in Mocha with black stitching complement both the exterior colour offerings.
The car is available at all authorised BMW dealerships nationwide from today.
