Premium automaker builds upon the versatility of the BMW 3 Series, further diversifying its impressive portfolio with Malaysia’s first-ever locally-assembled long wheelbase BMW 3 Series.

Kuala Lumpur, 9th April 2021 – BMW Malaysia today unveiled the First-Ever BMW 330Li M Sport, empowering customers to explore a new space in sportiness with the first-ever long wheelbase variant in its mid-sized premium executive sedan portfolio for the Malaysian market.

Harald Hoelzl, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia said, “The BMW 3 Series has been a consistent chart-topper for the BMW portfolio in Malaysia – with over 2,500 units delivered to satisfied customers across Malaysia in 2020 alone. The success of the BMW 3 Series lies in its ingenious architecture that offers unparalleled versatility, while preserving the sporty DNA that underlines BMW’s Sheer Driving Pleasure.”

“The First-Ever BMW 330Li M Sport emerges as a marvel in new dimensions for the BMW 3 Series, combining the capaciousness of a longer wheelbase with the ever-present sportiness of a BMW mid-sized premium executive sedan, sacrificing neither in the process. Truly, the First-Ever BMW 330Li M Sport opens up an avenue for customers to experience Sportiness in New Dimensions.” Hoelzl added.

The First-Ever BMW 330Li M Sport, Malaysia’s first-ever locally assembled BMW 3 Series in the long wheelbase variant, promises to deliver the great value impression and enhanced premium perception of the BMW 3 Series, now also complete with the New My BMW App for greater digital interaction between driver and vehicle. Practicality through enhanced space and comfort aside, the elongated body of the First-Ever BMW 330Li M Sport provides an elegance in design that flows seamlessly from front to end.
