BMW Malaysia will officially launch the all-new G20 BMW 3 Series on March 28, 2019, and you can now register your interest via this dedicated website. Additionally, a video teaser for the seventh-generation model has been posted on the company’s social media websites.
As before, there’re absolutely zero details when it comes to specifications (for now), but based on G20 units that were sighted recently, the 330i M Sport will be an available option to buyers.
The 330i features a 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine offering 258 PS from 5,000 to 6,500 rpm and 400 Nm, with drive going to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. Performance-wise, the zero to 100 km/h sprint takes 5.8 seconds.
The cars on the transports also appear to be fitted with 18-inch bicolour Orbit Grey (Style 790) M light double-spoke alloy wheels, as well as enhanced LED headlamps with U-shaped daytime running lights, the latter being present on the ROI page. Also included is the M Sport kit that consists of more aggressive bumpers and other cues that differentiate it from Sport Line and Luxury Line models.
With an official launch date now revealed, it won’t be long before we welcome the latest 3 Series. The obvious rival here is the W205 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which was recently given a facelift earlier in November last year. Which side will you pick?

320k plus ….new malaysia we all higher income, good luck guys
But despite in what you are saying, Many people will still go for G20 BMW 3 Series than Mercedes C Class. Confirmed sure. Cause as I see many people said that G20 BMW 3 Series is better than New Facelift Mercedes C Class. Moreover, many people also said that, G20 BMW 3 Series looks younger design and more sleeker design. Whereas, New Facelift Mercedes C Class looks like old grandfather design. Furthermore, G20 BMW 3 Series performance and technology are greater than New Facelift Mercedes C Class. Well that’s my opinion including many other people’s opinion too
u just wait and see lo, this g20 don’t even have autonomous braking, anyway good for f30 buyer, their car retain better value at at least for another year
Mercedes Salesman Detected
Young execs earned RM7.5K/mth can afford BMW 3 Series. Instalment 2.5k only,
Enough of BMW for me. I have been using BMWs past 10 years, it is problem after problem. Pay RM300k but visit SC every month to sort problems. Even used the new 530e, headache after headache.
I have gone back now to just a Accord. No breakdowns. No problems, No nothing
BMW – Banyak Masuk Workshop
BMW – Banyak Makan Wang
BMW – Buyer Must Weep
Looks like YB Kunta Kinte is using his fake names. Paultan.org members, pls ban YB Kunta Kinte and his dupes AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. We already fed up with YB Kunta Kinte comments
More like a story made and problem of affordability. Work harder Sam loo
BMW – Boss Manyak Wang
@Jimmy Took, no need to accuse others of being me la! i only promote high class toyota cars, not AH BENG hondas.
beli toyota camry je guys!
Japanese cars less breakdowns. BMWs with so many warning lights makes us feel afraid to drive long distance. If these warning lights come on wouldn’t know to continue journey or turn back. BMWs however drive and handle well
new Accord is coming … price RM 180K and above
But new Accord very ugly and look like old grandfather design as New Facelift Mercedes Benz C Class W205. Moreover, don’t forget, new Accord price will be slightly nearly RM200k due to New Accord will be fully imported as well
new Accord rides on the stretched platform of Honda Civic FC. Priced same to Crv
Omg. Can’t believe you mentioned Accord. Totally different level. Not to mention unreliable H.
Another dead-in-the-water model. Mid size sedans are passe. It is an SUV world.
Goodluck you 2 bro. It ain’t we mistake if we born poor , but it we mistake if we die poor. So we study hard & work veri smart. We all hope Proton the bmw of Asia can copy the sukses & marbeles of euro Bmw. Peace all yo’ #takmalu
All over the world, the 3 series is a cheap and affordable car. In the US, it is about US$30k. Super affordable.
Fresh graduate in US earns US$4500 starting pay. It is easy to own a 3 series.
In Malaysia, the 3 series like RM280k. Starting pay of a fresh graduate is RM2500. Here it is a super luxury car for the rich.
If you cannot afford it, please work harder. If you want to remain lazy, go get a Toyota.
fresh graduate in US earn USD4,500, dream about it bro
Our BMW and Mercedes prices are going higher and higher. Both are greedy companies in Malaysia
They know, BMW and Mercedes are status symbols in Asia, especially in Malaysia. Mati mati also, people will take loans just to own a BMW or Mercedes just to berlagak and to show friends they “have made it”.
In overseas, even the super rich also treat Mercedes and BMW as Biasa. To the rich, some even just buy a Ford Focus as their car as they don’t believe in a car being a status tool
BMW Malaysia knows the perangai of Malaysians. They know Malaysians like to lagak. So, they keep on putting the price higher and higher because everyone strives to own a BMW or a Mercedes to show they are successful.
My advice to Malaysians….you can even own a Myvi and also be very successful and accomplished. A car is just a car.
Don’t be gullible Malaysians and fall into the luxury car trap that BMW and MBM are trying to get you in
The banks are also very happy. :)
Simply because you cannot afford, and you want us to agree with your statement , Bro I dream of it daily as 1 day I can afford it. cannot means cannot don’t lar angry with ppl who can….
I heard there is no Harmon Kardon speaker comes this round but HiFi in this CBU G20 330i. It is a big disappointment man.. haih..
really? was just thinking to upgrade from Civic.
U mean there’s a car speaker brand called Civic? Probably no good for u that u wanna get a Harmon Kardon speaker?
If you are upgrading from a Civic to a 3 Series, the speaker brand should not be a deal breaker. If u care for the speaker brand, just install Harmon Kardon speaker to your Civic. That’s the logical and CIVIClised thing to do!
Make the banks happy. Upgrade with a 9 year HP plan. Way to go. LOL.
Hey @wth, everybody has a different demand in the aspects of a car when they are considering before making purchase, be it after sales values (warranty etc), performance, technologies, design, you name it.
Of course, you may sound right but down to typical prospect who definitely will be picky about the equipments that they get especially forking out 330k for this car segment.
Considering you get a premium branded speaker in the rival (Mercedes Benz’s Burmester), it definitely felt sad for a prospect.
Hope when it ckd, they add more features. Very disappointed if they not bring adaptive cruise control for this variant.
@Radzmud
BRO, SAME! I’m using Civic now too haha.
True bro, at least for the CBU version.
Talked to their sales representative.
I do hope they are false too hahaha
The G20 is a decent product by BMW. But still lacked the flawless build quality and premium finishing of Volvo S60, the World Car of the Year.
Cx3 is way better than Xc60. Benz bmw audi are class above mazda. Follow by peugeot lexus volvo
S60 not Malaysia choices. BMW way better.
VolvoCar, Geely, P1, Mesidis, VolvoTruck, Lotus, L&C, Polestar > all
when did S60 won world car of the year?
Much sportier drive can be expected just like the new G30 5 Series, the new G20 3 Series is built upon the modular CLAR architecture.
All round CFRP components and higher proportion of aluminum, the platform weigh lesser
BMW using CFRP component parts in the 7-series, not yet on the 5 and 3.
Obviously 3 series performance and technology is better. Comfort and luxury wise Mercedes is better!
This is BMW bread and butter car. Let us see whether BMW launches the 330e.
Last time, BMW pushed so much for diesel. Then they told everybody their Diesel technology ie Efficient Dynamics all so great and clean and this was the way the world was moving forward.
Then one day, all disappeared. No more 320d, no more 520d, no more 730Ld etc
The same with Hybrid and EV. BMW started pushing EV and Hybrid heavily. Now suddenly, everything seems to have stopped.
Looks like BMW has a lot of hit and miss with trends that they say will be the next In Thing.
C class has to give more discount now
What stopped? You living in your own dream world? Diesel models are still being pushed out in Europe. Not available in Malaysia bcoz disagreement with our B10 biodiesel implementation only.
PHEV is still BMW key model in Malaysia. F30 330e, X5 40e, G30 530e.
People buy because it’s cheaper than the non phev here. In europe it’s more expensive. That’s why maintenance more expensive. I’d rather get f30 328i or 330i can get around 100k to 150k now. Higher top speed than 330e x5. 250kmh vs 225kmh. X5 owners don’t dare to drive about 200 tho. Top speed is just 210. Even 100k+ vw car has higher top speed
Don’t worry the 330e will come later in the year. The rest of the world is pushing for electrification so it will arrive whether u like it or not.
not this year
dude, even benz stopped their hybrids (malaysia) . this is due to the price of hybrid batteries price which range from RM50k to RM80k. Same goes to BMW’s hybrid batteries. You dont wanna fork out that money just for batt replacement even tho you can afford it.
BMW ask Malaysians to buy their EV and Hybrid cars. Now their EV and Hybrids cars have such bad RV because of battery scandal
I think BMW Malaysia should pay compensation to all their EV and Hybrid owners.
After all, it is BMW Malaysia salesman that told buyers all their cars will be EV soon and better to buy EV.
Salesman also said long run can save so much of money
Major disappointment when BMW Msia drop the 320i and 330i in favor for 330e and 318i..
The 2.0 diesel has some flaws especially on the timing chain failure..
Hope they bring back the petrol version in the G20..
The 318 was previously a 316. It’s slower than a 1.4 vw
Diesel ones are still being offered overseas. Maybe this is just a quirk for Malaysia. Which is sad cos we have so many Euro5 diesel stations now. In that case maybe i shd keep my f30 320d for now cos it could be endangered species here.
320i please…
Unlikely because BMW Malaysia is pushing their Hybrid market niche with the 330e. They do not want to offer another model priced more or less the same. This would result in cannibalising their own sales.
All the best G20
Which one should i choose Bmw or Mercedes if save petrol?
Get vios
Take public transportation if your aim is to save fuel! Don’t just save your pocket, save environment too!
Get a Perodua Axia. You get super fuel economy and low maintenance cost.
Which one should i choose mercedes or bmw if i want safe petrol?
Get a myvi and pipu will laugh at you
Buy neither. Take a bus.
They should sell the 320i. Confirm beat c200 facelift smaller engine 1.5 slower car from 7.2 secs 0 to 100 to 7.7.
The dash is a vast improvement over the F30, which was its weakest link. The F30 dash looked dated the moment it was released. Now its all up to BMW Malaysia to give the G20 better specs than the current F30 and to offer more than just 2 cars.
Japanese cars less breakdowns. BMWs with so many warning lights makes us feel afraid to drive long distance. If these warning lights come on wouldn’t know to continue journey or turn back. BMWs however drive and handle well
