BMW Malaysia launches 325i Sports Sedan, 323i Coupe, 335i Coupe, Z4 M Coupe

335icoupe1.jpg

BMW Malaysia adds 4 new models to it’s line-up this year, the BMW 325i Sports Sedan variant, the BMW 323i Coupe, the amazing BMW 335i Coupe, as well as the BMW Z4 M Coupe. All of the new cars are fully imported except for the BMW 325i Sports Sedan which recently began CKD production.

The locally assembled BMW 325i comes with a Sports package, which includes an M Aerodynamics kit, 18″ Star Spoke M Light Alloy Wheels with runflat tyres, M Sports Suspension as well as an M Leather Steering Wheel. Also first in it’s class is a navigation system – yes, the 325i Sports comes with sat nav in the form of I-Drive.

Making it’s debut in the local market is the new E92 3 Coupe in 323i and wickedly fast 335i form. Some say the 335i outperforms the E46 BMW M3 in certain areas, as the car features BMW’s new twin turbocharged inline-6 engine which has virtually no turbo lag at all. Read more about the 335i Coupe in a previous test drive report. The new member of the Malaysian M family is the BMW Z4 M Coupe, featuring a tweaked 3.2 inline-6 from the E46 BMW M3 with a 6-speed manual.

The 4 new models will are now available in all BMW authorised dealership showrooms, and the following are the prices:

BMW 325i Sports RM 306,800
BMW 323i Coupe RM 338,000
BMW 335i Coupe RM 468,000
BMW Z4M Coupe RM 569,000

    The Z4 M is so not worth it for Rm 570K. For that kind of money, I would rather purchase a reconditioned M3 for Rm 360,000 and save the excess change for fuel, road tax,modifications and maintenance considering the Z4 M uses the same S54 3.2 litre Inline 6 engine.

    Plus, the M3 comes with choice of either F1 style paddle shifts or the trusty old 6 stick manual transmission.

    Sorry for the double post but wanted to add to the fact that in addition to the excess RM200K spare change saved buying the reconditioned M3, the M3 seats 4 people in total instead of only two in the Z4 M Coupe.

    good news for me then, oficially launched the E90 325i sports means the E46 325i sports will be cheaper, but it is very very very hard to get the lime yellow original std color, got one in AMPANG but M3 cant afford 380k. there is one 325i sports edition E46 very nice cond but color blue.

    anybody have tried the navigator systems..in msia?

    The 325 looks wicked man, expecially in black. It should be a hot selling model and just wait for the price to drop in another 4/5 years' time.

    No Z4 3.0 coupe? Suppose to be more all rounder than Z4 M coupe. Just check the 99th issue of Evo, "eCoTY".

    Very nice design car, very good spec, so great to drive, and rich if have one.

    By the way, with these price, ……….

    BMW 325i Sports – RM 306,800

    BMW 323i Coupe – RM 338,000

    BMW 335i Coupe – RM 468,000

    BMW Z4M Coupe – RM 569,000

    …….It is really good car? Yes, they are premium cars, so there are the price level. But wait..

    Audi A4 2.0 Turbo, used 2005 – RM 220,000

    – it's so much better than 325i Sport (RM 306,800)

    – you save RM 86,800

    BMW 325i E46 Cabriolet ,unregister – RM 225,000

    – you can get stylish cabrio, and u get BMW too! It's better. (RM 338,000)

    – you save RM 113,000

    BMW M3 E46 used 2001 – RM280,000

    – yes, if u fanatic with BMW, u can have the legend! Better. (RM 468,000)

    – you save RM 188,000

    Ok, if you really rich and really need for performance, (RM 569,000)

    F355 BERLINETTA 1995 RM350,000

    NISSAN FAIRLADY 350 Z CABRIOLET 2003 RM260,000

    NISSAN SKYLINE GT-R34 2001 RM280,000

    PORSHE BOXTER 2.5 1997 RM185,000

    – you don't have to withdraw from bank as much RM219k – RM384k !!

    – but you also can drive with style and proud. Many eyes with look at you. Sure.

    Although my examples are used car, but with the realibitity, performance, legend, and even better than brand new E90, it's worth to buy. You can get nice design, great technology, great names and the most important is, you make the wise choice.

    Up to u to decide. It's all about your money. If you drool to this brand new 3series + Z4, so buy it. It just waste your wealth, not mine.

    Sometimes expensive thing don't comes so as good thing.

    Whoaa… who would believe a used Audi is better than a spanking new Beemer (other than the price)? Moreover, its a used one & front wheel driven. Just wait for another 5 years, and the price of BMW 325i Sports will plummet half to RM 153,400. In 2012, I bet that it will still look good on the road.

    I was refering the the coupe. The one with the hard roof. In any case, i have never seen one on the road so it's probably too expensive.

    Never thought I'd say this about a car for sale in Malaysia, but the 325i Sport actually looks decent value for Malaysia.

    Let me justify what I have said there. Have a look at the spec sheet Paul has posted and take a look at how many of the options are ticked.

    Now go to BMW UK website and build the 325i Sport to that spec, remember to add on the servicing package that BMW Malaysia include as standard and you end up with a GBP37,835 motor car.

    Thats Rm257k give or take a few Rm

    So Rm306k with all taxes paid here doesn't look quite so bad after all!

    Looks like a trip to see the bank manager is in order :)

    second hands sports cars are good value for money….provided they havent been driven hard. people rich enough to buy sportscars are also rich enough to maintain it and also know when to get rid of it.

    and most of the time its usually after an expensive repair or an accident.

    a medium type accident is enough to ruin a sportscar.

    its a gamble….unless u have one of those indonesian friends that buys new sports cars and sells to friends for a cheap price after they are fed up with it.

    Nah, not from BMW, just an English man in KL who misses his old 330d company car and likes to compare what things would cost 'back home'

    :)

    I'll leave the 350z for you mate, not my cup of tea
