Prospective customers of the BMW 5 Series in Malaysia who are fans of the blacked-out look now have one more model to choose from – enter the BMW 530i M Sport Dark Shadow Edition.
The petrol-powered G30 5 Series with the darkened aesthetic is limited to a run of 36 units, and as the nameplate indicates, features the B48 2.0 litre turbocharged petrol inline-four cylinder offering 252 hp from 5,200 to 6,500 rpm and 350 Nm of torque between 1,450 and 4,800 rpm. As before, transmission is via an eight-speed automatic.
The Dark Shadow Edition starts with the exclusive use of Carbon Black exterior paint, and to that it adds Shadow Line parts comprised of black window trim, high-gloss black kidney grille and 20-inch M Performance alloy wheels finished in Orbit Grey, and includes tyre pressure monitoring.
Inside, the Shadow Edition specification offers a choice of Dakota leather trim in black with blue stitching, or in Cognac with contrast stitching. All in, the 530i M Sport Dark Shadow Edition weighs in at RM392,800 on-the-road without insurance, or RM10,000 more than the regular 530i M Sport at RM382,800. The Shadow Line trim and M Performance wheel set are worth RM37,000 when specified separately, says BMW Malaysia.
This also means that the latest pricing for the regular, non-Shadow Edition 530i M Sport has risen by RM10,000 from this year’s pre-SST exemption price of RM372,800, which was then reduced to RM363,756 with the SST exemption that is in place until December 31.
The 530i M Sport Dark Shadow Edition will be available to order exclusively from the BMW Shop Online from January 4, where bookings for the model can be made for a fee of RM1,000. Keen to see the car in the metal? The limited-run 5 Series will be on display at selected dealerships from January until February 18.

Stock clearance, 400k for this outdated model just doesn’t make sense
300k and better get the more superior GR Yaris,
U might wanna say the same for other brands too. Incoming fire sales for E class in a month or two.
Facelift not arrive yet, but this still look fresh, elegant and classy. Unlike proton and perodua, new but look so dated old. The new civic? Not yet out but look older than current model. Honda? Have butt problem. Toyota? For old uncle. Korean? Look cool, but no status no value at all. So? At the end, either merc or bmw. Just like Maxis and Digi, no matter what you say digi always play 3 fiddle to Maxis. Bwahuahuahuaha
OP is on point. Clever way to push out the 2020 model. That close to 400k would be better spent on the incoming 2021 face lifted 5.
This edition also known as stock clearance edition
My perfect dark ride
We deserve the facelift model. Give us that!
A signal that LCI is coming soon
Facelift or in Bimmer’s term LCI is around the corner, better save the buck and wait for it.
