BMW has introduced two new BMW 5 Series variants for the Malaysian market. These are the New BMW 530e M Sport and the New BMW 520i Luxury. The prices for the New BMW 530e M Sport is RM 338,800.00 and the New BMW 520i Luxury will cost RM 328,800.00. The prices are on the road, without insurance, and with BMW Group Malaysia’s latest 5 Years Unlimited Mileage Warranty, Free Scheduled Service Programme and BMW Tyre Warranty Programme).
The New BMW 530e M Sport (above, in white) is essentially the 530e plug-in hybrid fitted with the desirable M Sport package. The New BMW 520i Luxury (photo below) is the more affordable, non-hybrid 5 series which looks its part with a Chrome line package for the exterior and a luxurious interior. The two variants cover both ends of the large premium sedan segment. Both seem to be priced competitively and are locally assembled. The current line-up for the G30 5 Series here are the 530i M Sport and the 530e Sport. So the two variants fill in the gaps in terms of affordable 5 Series.
Note that the plug-in hybrid 530e is only a mere RM10,000 more expensive than the 520i Luxury. Both run the 2.0liter 4 cylinder turbocharged engine but the 530e really pulls ahead in terms of performance - 0-100kmh in 6.2 seconds for the 530e while the 520i does it in 7.8 seconds. Blame this on the extra performance of the hybrid motor which does 420Nm torque against 290Nm.
Personally, a sub-8 second car is pretty fast enough, and since it just has a petrol powered engine, the 520i variant could be for those that still would like a traditional, non-electrified car. In terms of that RM10K difference, the amount is pretty insignificant as both of these cars are priced over RM300K, a price where a RM10K difference would not make a large impact towards the price of purchase.
Here are the product brief for both of the new BMW 5 Series variants.
The New BMW 530e M Sport:
The BMW 5 Series Plug-in Hybrid with eDrive Technology is the most innovative model
in its class and serves up a dynamic experience, for which the BMW brand is renowned,
