Among the models revealed were the new BMW 330i M Sport, BMW 320i Sport, BMW 218i Gran Coupé Sport, and BMW X3 xDrive20i M Sport.
A part of the event was the introduction of the new BMW 330i M Sport and BMW 320i Sport, two additions to the 3 Series family, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the iconic model line in Malaysia. These new variants follow the earlier arrival of the BMW 330Li M Sport, further enriching the 3 Series line-up with distinct styling and powertrain options.
Visually, the BMW 330i M Sport asserts a sportier character, featuring a blacked-out kidney grille, M Aerodynamics package, and a more dynamic stance complemented by staggered 19-inch M light alloy wheels in double-spoke 996 M Bicolour design with run-flat tyres. In contrast, the BMW 320i Sport embraces a more executive design ethos, characterised by a Pearl Chrome grille, Satin Aluminium exterior accents, and 18-inch V-spoke 780 Bicolour wheels, also fitted with run-flat tyres.
Both sedans come equipped with LED headlights that include high-beam assistant and ambient lighting with a specially designed door-area projection unique to the latest BMW 3 Series. For added convenience, an automatic tailgate function is standard across both variants.
Inside, the cabins reflect BMW's modern design direction, with a reimagined slim dashboard that incorporates narrow air vents and galvanic controls for improved usability, particularly in the ventilation system. Central to the interior is the BMW Curved Display, which combines a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel with a 14.9-inch central infotainment touchscreen. Operating on BMW's latest Operating System 8.5 with QuickSelect, the system allows intuitive access to vehicle functions, navigation, and entertainment. Standard features also include BMW Live Cockpit Professional, a head-up display, and augmented navigation with real-time overlays.
Performance-wise, the BMW 330i M Sport is powered by a 2.0-litre TwinPower Turbo four-cylinder engine, delivering 258hp and 400Nm of torque. Mated to an 8-speed Steptronic Sport transmission and rear-wheel drive, it achieves 0–100 km/h in just 5.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 250 km/h. Meanwhile, the BMW 320i Sport utilises the same engine configuration but is tuned to produce 184hp and 300Nm, resulting in a 0–100 km/h sprint in 7.4 seconds and a maximum speed of 235 km/h.
The BMW 330i M Sport is further distinguished by features such as variable sports steering, an M leather steering wheel, Aluminium Rhombicle Anthracite trim, M headliner in anthracite, a luxury instrument panel, galvanic embellishers, and a HiFi loudspeaker system. In contrast, the BMW 320i Sport is outfitted with a sports steering wheel and interior trim finished in 'Dark Graphite' matt.
In terms of advanced safety and driving support, both models are equipped with Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go, and BMW's Driving Assistant package. This includes Lane Change Warning, Speed Limit Information, Rear Crossing Traffic Alert with brake intervention, and Exit Warning. Parking Assistant Plus is also standard, featuring Park Assist, Reversing Assistant, Active Park Distance Control, Surround View, Remote 3D View, BMW Drive Recorder, and an Anti-Theft Recorder.

BMW MALAYSIA has expanded its high-performance portfolio with the official introduction of the New BMW M2 Coupé at the MY BMW World 2025 exhibition. The latest iteration of the celebrated compact sports coupé arrives with heightened power, sharper styling, and a suite of refinements, reaffirming its status as the most purist model in the BMW M lineup. As part of a broader showcase spotlighting the full breadth of BMW M engineering–including the unveiling of the all-new electrified BMW M5, the track-ready M4 Competition Coupé M xDrive, and the versatile M3 Competition M xDrive–the new M2 stood out for its raw appeal, compact proportions, and driving purity.

The wide kidney grille and prominent air intakes remain, enhanced by the addition of Adaptive LED Headlights with Matrix functionality and High-beam Assistant for improved visibility in varied conditions. Its muscular wheel arches and tight footprint lend a squat, performance-focused posture, underscoring its agility and racing heritage. The black-finished exhaust tailpipes and newly designed M2 badge with a silver border at both ends of the vehicle serve as distinctive identifiers of its M DNA. The M Carbon Roof and high-gloss Shadowline elements contribute to a low, streamlined silhouette, while the new Double-spoke style 930 M alloy wheels in 19- and 20-inch staggered sizing add to its planted stance. Red high-gloss M Compound brakes provide not only an aesthetic accent but also deliver exceptional stopping power. Inside, the cockpit is driver-focused and performance-oriented. A new M leather steering wheel with a flattened bottom, red 12 o'clock marker, and signature M1/M2 mode buttons adds a track-inspired touch. The interior design is dominated by the BMW Curved Display, which houses a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch central control display running on BMW Operating System 8.5. This system integrates M-specific graphics and functions, supporting an intuitive and responsive interface. The immersive driving experience is further elevated by the Harman Kardon surround sound system, boasting 14 speakers, a 464-watt amplifier, and nine channels for crisp, dynamic audio.

Torque is channelled through an eight-speed M Steptronic automatic transmission, ensuring smooth yet assertive shifts across all driving scenarios. The car retains a rear-wheel-drive layout, reinforcing its dedication to classic sports car dynamics. The 50:50 weight distribution and compact dimensions make for a highly agile and responsive chassis. To further enhance driving dynamics, the vehicle is equipped with Adaptive M Suspension, M Sport Differential, and M Drive Professional. These systems allow for in-depth personalisation of handling characteristics, including configurable drive modes, drift analysis, and track telemetry. The throttle mapping and response have been refined for sharper feedback, while the suspension tuning ensures a balance between control and comfort, whether on twisty roads or during urban commutes. In terms of safety and convenience, the New BMW M2 features Cruise Control with braking function, the comprehensive Driving Assistant package, and Parking Assistant to support tight urban navigation and manoeuvring. The M2 Coupé is available in a wide selection of paint finishes that reflect its vibrant personality. Choices include striking colours like M Zandvoort Blue, M Sao Paulo Yellow, and the newly introduced Fire Red metallic, which replaces M Toronto Red. More subtle options such as Alpine White, Black Sapphire, Brooklyn Grey, and Skyscraper Grey offer understated elegance. The cabin, meanwhile, is offered exclusively in Black Vernasca leather with bespoke highlights, complementing the car's sporty yet refined character. The arrival of the New BMW M2 underscores BMW Malaysia's continued commitment to delivering high-performance machines tailored to driving enthusiasts.
