Alongside the Malaysian market debuts of the G20 BMW M340i xDrive and 330Li M Sport comes an update to the 330i within the 3 Series range.
Launched locally in January this year, the facelifted 330i now gets adaptive M suspension in place of the regular, fixed-rate M Sport suspension, and along with it a price hike of RM2,000 to RM319,800 (with the extended warranty and service package, or RM299,600 without), from the initial RM317,800 at its January arrival.
Being the 330i, this continues to be powered by the B48 turbocharged inline four-cylinder petrol engine that outputs 258 PS from 5,000 rpm to 6,500 rpm and 400 Nm of torque from 1,550 rpm to 4,400 rpm, which are output to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission.
In terms of claimed performance figures, 0-100 km/h is elapsed in 5.8 seconds, and top speed is 250 km/h. Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are claimed to be 6.6 l/100 km and 148 g/km, respectively.
Exterior kit for the 2023 M Sport includes a set of 18-inch double-spoke alloys in the Style 848 M bicolour finish measuring 7.5J in front and 8.5J at the rear, shod in run-flat tyres measuring 225/45R18 in front and 255/40R18 at the rear.
Inside, the 330i M Sport continues to feature the Curved Display that consists of a 12.3-inch driver instrument display with head-up display and a 14.9-inch control display. Included is the Connected Package Professional that brings Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with Remote Services and ConnectedDrive services with Intelligent Emergency Call and Teleservices.
Interior conveniences continue to include three-zone automatic air-conditioning, comfort access, electric front seat adjustment with driver’s seat memory function, ambient lighting, a through-loading system for extra-long parcels, a storage compartment package and a wireless device charging tray.
Safety kit on the 330i M Sport is comprised of the Driving Assistant package that brings lane departure and lane change warning, front collision warning, rear crossing traffic warning, rear collision prevention and speed limit information. Within the Parking Assistant package is Active Park Distance Control, Reversing Assistant, Lateral Parking Aid and a reverse assist camera.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Kudos to BMW for listening to feedback, job well done.
If only they can put adaptive cruise control at 300k lol, 2k extra for adaptive suspension, pretty sure people will pay another 3 k or so for adaptive cruise option
Make it an option at least BMW MALAYSIA, its 2023 lol, you’re selling a car with safety systems of the 2018 myvi ie only AEB.
“But at least better specced and uses better quality materials than Mercedes” from someone said
Should have this from the beginning !! My back can’t take the stiff suspension
Nice
no adaptive cruise at rm 300k ??????
“But at least better specced and uses better quality materials than Mercedes” from someone said
can’t say i’ve seen a single unit of this new 3 series on the road. perhaps this is Malaysians’ way of saying no to sub par specs for premium cars with even more premium prices? and an update 2 months after launch? i feel sorry for those early adapters.
But better specced and better quality with last long term than tin kosong C Class with poor spare parts
oh totally agree with you here. i’m just stating my observations. BMW could be so much better if they really wanted to.
But better featueres than Mercedes. And with poor quality and poor spare parts, heard that lots of cancellation for Mercedes
I think your observations only applies to the recent Mercedes models that are mild hybrids. The older ICE models are fine. They can’t get their 48v system to work as intended. To me it’s either you stick with ICE or go full EV.
Doesn’t matter. Whether Mercedes uses older ICE engine models or not, still got issues, which you will never know what wrong for other cheap parts for mercedes. That’s why Mercedes placed at the least reliability ranking position
Hybrid is safer enough to drive. Buy so far, BMW, toyota, perodua as well as honda are safer to buy than buying mercedes
Agree. C Class W206 interior quality is really poor. Hopefully BMW do better by giving customer to select more paying options/ packages for non-standard items.
Same here. I am the one who cancelled booking for Mercedes E Class after seeing poor quality display on brand new S580e on Facebook post
u heard about the cancellation from BMW salesman trying to sell their cars is it?
What am I saying here that those who already booked Mercedes, but didn’t buy yet, there will be lots of people will cancelled for Mercedes and to buy other brands like BMW, Volkswagen, Audi or Porsche, not from BMW salesman, that’s what I heard on what happened after seeing comments from incidents on S Class bad quality
Need to include power boot as well
Fxxx, another car i cant afford
Amazed!!!
Now I can bring my atok for genting runs to chin sweet temple without rattling his dentures out from his mouth
Pushing the old stock ICE engines before the Petrol subsidies are taken away and electric car taxes comes in.
Would you pay additional 2k for adaptive suspension or just take the standard option? Take note that this adaptive suspension is M sport not the same adaptive suspension in the LI long wheelbase version
Li uses comfort suspension no adaptive
If the adaptive suspension used is more or less the same specs as in the current 530i G30 it shares the B48 engine with, then 330i handling and now with improved refinement would definitely be best in class.
If you need to ask this ….
Love it
