Buckle up, folks! When you thought BMW Malaysia had pulled out all the stops with the CKD version of the BMW 530i M Sport, they dropped another bombshell: the brand-new BMW i4 eDrive35 M Sport!
This all-electric, four-door coupé is the facelifted version of the G26-gen i4, now more stylish and powerful than ever. Let’s dive into what makes this ride a head-turner!
Aggressive New Look
First up, the BMW kidney grille was redesigned. It’s bold, fierce, and sure to make any driver glance nervously in their rear-view mirror if you’re tailgating them.
Pair that with the new Adaptive LED headlights that scream “get out of my way” with their intense, focused gaze, and you’ve got one mean-looking machine. Plus, these lights are perfect for slicing through hazy weather with adaptive tech that adjusts to conditions.
Sleek Side Profile
The side view is just as striking, thanks to the newly designed 19-inch aerodynamic M wheels in 996M Bicolour.
These wheels aren’t just for show; they enhance the car’s sleek silhouette, making it look like it’s speeding even when it’s parked.
Interior Elegance and Tech
Step inside and your eyes are immediately drawn to the flattened sports steering wheel. With its three-spoke design and a cool 12 o’clock marker, it’s as functional as it is stylish.
Of course, BMW doesn’t stop there—the driver-oriented cockpit features the BMW Curved Display, seamlessly combining a 12.3-inch instrument display and a 14.9-inch control display. It’s like having a futuristic command centre right at your fingertips!
Mood Lighting and Luxury Finishes
The interior vibe is taken up a notch with customisable cascade lighting in nine hues, so you can set the mood to match your drive.
The new Aluminium Rhombicle Anthracite M trim and M PerformTex upholstery in Black with M piping are not just luxurious but eco-friendly, reducing CO₂ emissions significantly. Talk about guilt-free indulgence!
Heart-Pounding Performance
Under the hood, or rather, beneath the floor, the fifth-gen BMW eDrive technology delivers 210 kW (286 hp) and 400 Nm of torque.
This beast rockets from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6 seconds, with a range of up to 500 km. Thanks to the skateboard-style battery configuration, the car’s lower centre of gravity ensures a dynamic and comfortable drive.
Fast and Convenient Charging
Charging up is a breeze. With DC fast charging at up to 180 kW, you can juice up to 80% in just 32 minutes or add 144-182 km in a quick 10-minute pit stop.
For those longer breaks, AC charging at up to 11 kW gets you a full charge in about 7 hours.
Plus, with enhanced BMW Maps, finding the nearest charging station is effortless.
Advanced Driver Assistance
Safety and convenience come standard with features like Attentiveness Assistant, Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Parking Assistant Plus, and Driving Assistant.
Whether you’re on a long haul or just popping to the shops, these systems make every drive smoother and safer.
Personalised Performance
For those who like to stand out, the BMW i4 eDrive35 M Sport offers a range of optional M Performance Parts, so you can customise your ride to match your personality.
So, what are you waiting for? The new BMW i4 eDrive35 M Sport is here to electrify your drive with its stunning looks, cutting-edge tech, and thrilling performance. Get ready to turn heads and drop jaws wherever you go!
