A 50th anniversary is a truly special occasion. It’s not every day that we get to celebrate such a milestone; and when we do, it calls for something major. Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the BMW 3 Series, BMW unveiled a brand-new edition of its BMW 330Li M Sport at the Malaysia Autoshow 2025.
Embodying the timeless design language of the BMW 3 Series, where sportiness blends perfectly with elegance, the luxury sedan boasts a distinctive kidney grille in Pearl Chrome, complemented by a pair of winged LED headlights that invite second looks. The defining facade is further elevated by a dynamic build with an extended wheelbase, showcasing its 18-inch Double-spoke style 848 M Bicolour M Light alloy wheels.
Interior Design
Like its predecessors, the interior of the luxury sedan is opulent in every sense of the word. Once inside, one can easily lose themselves in the Leather Vernasca upholstery and Aluminium Rhombicle anthracite M Interior trim that stimulate the senses. Buckle up and be greeted by the M leather steering wheel and the BMW Curved Display, which puts the essential information at your fingertips.
The appeal of the 3 Series goes beyond a lavish cabin. The BMW 330Li M Sport is also equipped with the 16-speaker and 464 Watts Harman Kardon surround sound system, delivering a concert-like auditory experience that puts audiophiles on cloud nine. The luxury vehicle also comes with panorama glass roof and ambient light, setting the mood to your liking, whether it’s for a sun-kissed road trip with the family or a romantic night out with a loved one.
Safety Features
The BMW 330Li M Sport is more than meets the eye. With the 2025 edition, the luxury sedan is now equipped with Active Cruise Control with Stop&Go function, perfect for city dwellers. Designed for busy urban environments and heavy traffic, the Active Cruise Control not only helps maintain the driver’s desired speed, but also regulates the distance from the vehicle ahead. Whenever an obstacle is detected, the safety feature kicks in to prevent imminent danger by applying the brakes.
The best is yet to come. The 2025 edition also incorporates the 360-degree camera system as part of the Parking Assistant Plus, replacing the reverse camera. The camera system offers a full view around the vehicle, making parking and manoeuvring a breeze, even for beginners. It also includes an array of safety technologies that keep you safe on the road like Lane Departure with Lane Return, Lane Change Warning, Front Collision Warning and Park Assist.
Powered by 2.0L 4-cylinder petrol engine, the BMW 3 Series Long Wheelbase model delivers 190kW (258 hp) of power and 400Nm of torque, allowing it to sprint from 0-100km/h in 6.2 seconds. It is available in Carbon Black, M Brooklyn Grey and Arctic Race Blue, with two upholstery options: Leather Vernasca Mocha or Leather Vernasca Cognac.
