Verdict

The BMW 3 Series M takes a direct approach: one petrol-powered, all-wheel-drive performance sedan with 387 hp and five seats. Its RM392,800 price is far above the Tesla Model 3, Dongfeng 007 and BYD Seal, but below the BMW i4 M50, Alfa Romeo Giulia and Mercedes-Benz AMG C-Class. Buyers wanting an electric alternative have cheaper entries; this is for those set on the M340i’s petrol configuration.
