Launched early this year, the 2025 BMW 530i M Sport is now the king of the G60 5 Series range in Malaysia. You’re paying RM59k more than the 520i and RM42k more than the 520i M Sport, so what are you getting for RM399,800 (or RM430,100 with the five-year extended warranty and service package)?
More grunt, for one – the B48 2.0 litre turbo engine develops 258 PS and 400 Nm of torque, compared to its 520i sisters’ 208 PS/330 Nm. Equipped with an eight-speed Steptronic Sport auto, the RWD 48V mild hybrid does 0-100 km/h in 6.2 seconds and tops out at 250 km/h – 1.3 seconds and 20 km/h faster than the 520i.
The 530i also gets Adaptive Suspension Professional with rear-wheel steering (up to 2.5 degrees), 20-inch star-spoke style 938M light alloys, satin aluminium line exterior trim, 18 Bowers & Wilkins speakers and the BMW Interaction Bar (ambient lighting + touch-sensitive controls).
Everything else is as per the 520i M Sport, including the M Sport styling package, Iconic Glow kidney grille, all-LED lighting, powered front sports seats with memory, four-zone climate control and the BMW Curved Display (12.3-inch instrument panel + 14.9-inch touch-screen), powered by BMW OS 8.5 with QuickSelect.
You’ll also find anthracite headlining, aluminium rhombicle trim paired with dark silver M accents, and a choice of Merino leather in Black/Atlas Grey or Copper Brown/Atlas Grey. Safety? Everything you need, including ACC with stop and go, steering and lane control assistant, active park distance control and a 360 camera.
The big question is – should you get this over the W214 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which launched in Malaysia last September in RM356k E200 Avantgarde and RM419k E350e AMG Line flavours? Watch Hafriz Shah’s video review below to find out.

This anytime. Merc look very nice in pic until I saw 2 real life one moving one parking omg look is so uncle and old style especially the rear lights. the rear star shape lighting is so vague from far. Then I saw more and more 5 series nowadays like every 5 to only 1 eclass in my area. in pic no but real life the 5 wins hands down in look and machoness. looks like transformer decepticon tank with add on bodykits haha. but Im below 30 so probably older uncle may think differently. My female friends all leaning toward the BMW nowadays no more ppl gila bout merc unlike the previous c class era.
One thing is both models are definitely way uglier than previous beautiful gen.
Honestly, with how perfect the M340i is, its the better buy. If you can afford the road tax and insurance, its a no brainer.
Everything about this car is perfect except for one.
The exterior door handle is very uncomfortable to use to open the door. This is 400k car not some 1990s kancil.
Change the door handles to the F10 or G30 door handles design, smooth, slick and painless to open the door. Then the car would be really perfect.
better buy the amazing zeekr 009
What is that? Some kind of chocolate bar?
dont mind, This guy sabri is chinese ev salesperson. u can see this guy in almost all paultan Chinese ev news. lol..
400k… this is going to soon be priced out of reach of their normal customer groups.
MYR streghthen so much against USD, from 4.8 in 2023 until 4.2 today ,thanks to great leader AI . but yet euro car price still continue to rise, why ?
yeah after insurance, plate number tender, and 5 year service package, and all bmw app add on features, this is 450k plus car. ppl are increasingly cant afford those German nowadays. 2025 320i now at 300k? and 330i at 330k? haha. ppl will hold on tight to their 2020 330i g20 and refused to let go in future.
This car is getting nicer by the day it really grow on me! BMW always like that, tgk lama lama baru cantik.
Ya like to try it out
