BMW Malaysia has revealed official pricing for the eighth-generation (G60) BMW 530i M Sport, which was previewed last month. Like the 520i and 520i M Sport that were launched earlier, the new variant is locally assembled (CKD) in Kulim, Kedah.
Getting to the important numbers, the 530i M Sport retails for RM399,800 on-the-road without insurance. This figure is with a standard two-year warranty, and if you want the five-year extended warranty and service package, the amount increases to RM430,100. Compared to the 520i M Sport, you’re looking at RM42,000 premium for the 530i M Sport, with the gap widening further to RM59,000 from the base 520i – this is regardless if the extended warranty and service package is included.
Power for the 530i M Sport comes in the form of a B48 2.0 litre turbocharged inline-four petrol engine with a 48V mild hybrid system. With 258 PS (255 hp or 190 kW) and 400 Nm of torque, the 530i has higher outputs compared to the 520i models that pack 208 PS (205 hp or 153 kW) and 330 Nm.
As such, the 530i accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 6.2 seconds (520i needs 7.5 seconds) and the top speed is 250 km/h (520i tops out at 230 km/h). The transmission is an eight-speed Steptronic Sport automatic that sends drive to the rear wheels.
In addition to a more powerful engine, the 530i variant also gains Adaptive Suspension Professional with Integral Active Steering, the latter being a rear-wheel steering system (up to 2.5 degrees) for increased manoeuvrability (turning circle as little as 11.7 metres) and agility.
Other differences include the use of 20-inch star-spoke style 938M light alloy wheels, which are larger than the 520i M Sport’s double-spoke style 935 M bicolour units. There’s also satin aluminium line exterior trim in place of the 520i M Sport’s M high-gloss Shadowline.
On the inside, the 530i M Sport gets an 18-speaker Bowers and Wilkins setup with 655W of amplification, an improvement over the 520i models that come with a 12-speaker Harman Kardon system. The the eye-catching BMW Interaction Bar also makes its way into the cabin, similar to what you’ll find in the all-electric i5.
Everything else is similar to the 520i M Sport, including the M Sport styling package, Iconic Glow kidney grille, adaptive LED headlamps, LED taillights, powered front sports seats with memory function, four-zone climate control and the BMW Curved Display, which integrates a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch central touchscreen.
Infotainment is powered by BMW Operating System 8.5 with QuickSelect, the Intelliigence Personal Assistant, BMW ID, navigation via BMW Maps, an interior camera, connectivity drive services, telematics and Digital Key Plus support.
The cabin also gets an anthracite headliner, aluminium rhombicle trim paired with dark silver M accents, along with a choice of Merino leather in Black/Atlas Grey or Copper Brown/Atlas Grey. Exterior finishes available for the 530i M Sport include Black Sapphire Metallic, Mineral White Metallic, Cape York Green Metallic, Brooklyn Grey Metallic, and Phytonic Blue Metallic.
The Driving Assistant Plus package is standard and includes Active Cruise Control with stop and go, Steering and Lane Control Assistant, Lane Departure and Lane Change Warning, Collision Warning and Pedestrian Warning as well as Speed Limit Info. Parking Assistant Plus is also bundled in and is comprised of Active Park Distance Control, Reversing Assistant, Lateral Parking Aid, Surround View System, Remote 3D View and BMW Drive Recorder.
