This year’s edition of the paultan.org Premium Auto Car Expo (PACE) takes place once again at the Setia City Convention Centre, across the weekend of July 19 and 20 from 9am to 7pm, and this is where plenty of attractive deals on premium automobiles can be found – new, or pre-owned.
BMW, MINI and BMW Motorrad are represented by Auto Bavaria on location with a wide selection of models at the show. Among the new metal is the BMW 218 Gran Coupé that was officially launched in Malaysia just last month, here at PACE 2025 in Sport guise.
Joining the F74-generation 218 Gran Coupé are the X1 sDrive20i xLine, bringing versatility, style, practicality and technology in a premium compact SUV package. Looking to step up a size? The X3 is on display as well, as are the core sedan offerings from the Munich marque. These are the 3 Series and 5 Series, here being the 320i Sport and 530i M Sport, respectively.
BMW Group brand MINI is naturally part of the setup, here with a trio that is comprised of the Countryman S, Aceman SE and 5-Door Cooper S models. Both the Countryman S and 5-Door Cooper S represent the petrol-powered offerings from the British brand at PACE 2025, both packing a B48 2.0 litre turbocharged petrol four-cylinder engine making 204 PS and 300 Nm.
The Aceman SE is the battery-electric model among the trio, employing a single, front-mounted motor that outputs 218 PS and 330 Nm, propelling the model from 0-100 km/h in 7.1 seconds, and on to a top speed of 170 km/h. This is fed by a 54.2 kWh nickel cobalt manganese (NCM) battery, offering up to 406 km of range on the WLTP standard.
Representing the two-wheeler segment at PACE 2025 is BMW Motorrad, which has a trio of premium motorcycles on show at the event. Starting with the F900 XR, this is a middleweight tall-rounder aimed at providing versatility from the F900 platform, with an 895 cc parallel-twin engine making 105 hp and 92 Nm, transmitted via chain drive.
This is joined by a pairing which are the latest iterations of motorcycle icons, the R1300 GS and R1300 GS Adventure. The R1300 GS is a sea change from its predecessors, now with a pressed metal frame construction that replaces the tubular chassis of Gelande/Straße generations past for the benefit of reduced weight, while packing even more technology in the form of advanced rider assistance systems.
For an even more substantial adventure motorcycle, the R1300 GS Adventure packs all that with bodywork that offers more weather protection, along with a larger, 31 litre fuel tank. The R1300 GS Adventure can also be specified with the Automated Shift Assistant (ASA), which is standard-fit in Malaysia on the Triple Black, the Style GS Trophy, and Option 719 Karkorum variants.
