BMW Malaysia Introduces The New 2021 530e M Sport and 2021 530i M Sport

BMW Malaysia introduces the locally-assembled (CKD) electrifying 530e M Sport and new 530i M Sport.

BMW Malaysia has just added two locally-assembled 5-Series to its portfolio, in the form of the 530e M Sport and the New BMW 530i M Sport. The latest additions to the premium automaker's local lineup allow customers to choose between a standard petrol variant or a plug-in hybrid.

Exterior

Complete with the beautiful M Aerodynamics package, the new variants are now fitted with larger kidney grilles and sleeker headlights with a new DRL (daytime running lights) design. The New BMW 530e M Sport comes with Adaptive LED headlights, while the New BMW 530i M Sport is equipped with BMW's famed Laserlight. Both variants' illumination kits include a high-beam assistant with automatic switching of the on/ off high-beam headlights depending on the traffic situation, controlled via a sensor on the front side of the interior mirror.

The BMW Individual high-gloss Shadow Line adds a touch of mystery to the New BMW 530e M Sport, while the New BMW 530i M Sport is equipped with BMW's Satined Aluminium Individual Exterior Line. Both variants' front and rear bumpers are also new with more oversized air intakes, alongside new LED taillight elements in the signature BMW L-shape. For the first time, the light source is integrated directly into the taillight's outermost layer, maximising the 3D effect. 

19-inch M light-alloy Y-Spoke 845 M Bi-Colour Jet Black wheels complete the exterior look. The new boys also feature Adaptive Suspension and BMW's M Sport brake with blue-painted M Sport brake callipers with M designation. At the rear are double-sided exhaust tailpipe finishers with a trapezoidal design and a distinctive diffuser insert.

Interior

Inside, the BMW 530e M Sport and BMW 530i M Sport boast an exclusive M leather steering wheel, along with stylish sports seats for both the driver and the passenger. The new variants are also furnished with interior trim finishers in Aluminium Rhombicle, Dakota Leather upholstery and the BMW Individual anthracite headliner. Interior Illumination within the car is provided by ambient lighting, while owners of the New BMW 530i M Sport are able to enjoy the electrical glass roof feature.

The dashboard includes a lighter coloured contrasting seam, which continues onto the door trims, as well as control buttons in the centre console in High Gloss Black that magnifies the interior design language of the New BMW 5 Series variants.

Powertrain

Powerplant wise, both 5-Series come equipped with the venerable inline 4-cylinder BMW TwinPower Turbo 2-litre petrol engine, but 530e M Sport features the latest generation of BMW's eDrive electric motor. The Eight-Speed Steptronic Sport transmission system also comes as standard for both variants.

The New BMW 530e M Sport offers a combined maximum output of 292hp and 420Nm of torque – consisting of a 109hp output from the electric motor. The electrified variant is capable of a century sprint in 5.9 seconds. With a top speed of 235 km/h, the New BMW 530e M Sport consumes only 2.3l/100km of fuel with a CO2 emission of 53g/km. The electric motor is capable of an all-electric range of up to 67 kilometres (NEDC correlated) – making all-electric city driving and short journeys possible. The electric motor can be fully charged with a BMW i Wallbox in approximately 3 hours and 35 minutes, or under 6 hours with a conventional main socket via a standard charging cable. 

Driving modes in the electrified variant can be personalised via the eDrive button in the centre console and feature the standard AUTO eDRIVE setting, enabling all-electric driving up to a speed of 110 km/h.

Meanwhile, the overall system output for the New BMW 530i M Sport is 252hp and 350Nm of torque, enabling the car to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.4 seconds. With a top speed of 250 km/h, the New BMW 530i M Sport consumes 6.7l/100km of fuel with a CO2 emission of 154g/km. 

Safety

Safety-wise, both the 5-Series, comes with Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) that is complemented with Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), Cornering Brake Control (CBC), Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) and the Antilock Braking System (ABS) with Brake Assist.

Safety is further enhanced in the BMW 530e M Sport via a specially-created sound emitted through a loudspeaker system that alerts pedestrians and cyclists of the vehicle. This is activated when the vehicle is travelling in full electric mode at speeds of up to 30 km/h.

Infotainment

The new variants are equipped with BMW's Live Cockpit Professional, running the latest BMW Operating System 7. This infotainment system comes with the new restructured display set-up, consisting of a user-configurable 12.3-inch instrument cluster and an equally large touchscreen Control Display.
