BMW Malaysia has introduced two limited edition
models, the BMW 330e M Performance Edition and X5 xDrive40e M Performance
Edition. Both models are limited to 300 units each, featuring genuine BMW M Performance
Accessories. No mechanical or performance upgrades have been made, though.
Now, the 330e M Performance Edition comes with M
Performance side skirts, side sill foils, gloss black front grille and carbon
side mirror caps. There’s also a matte black front lip, rear spoiler and rear
diffuser, which comes on top of the dark-tinted tail lights. Inside, the PHEV
sedan gets stainless steel pedals and footrest.
For colours, the BMW 330e M Performance Edition can
be had in Sunset Orange, Black Sapphire, Estoril Blue or Alpine White. The
interior, however, only comes with Black Dakota Leather. Next, the X5 xDrive40e M
Performance Edition gets a similar exterior treatment, except the X5 gets a
carbon front lip and rear diffuser. Like the 330e M Performance Edition, it
also gets stainless steel foot pedals. The SAV comes in three colours – Carbon
Black, Mineral White and Space Grey. All exterior colour offerings are paired
with Black Dakota Leather, whereas Carbon Black offers an additional option of
Terra Dakota Leather.
Price-wise, both cars are priced identically as its
M Sport sibling – the 330e M Performance Edition is priced at RM 258,800, and
the X5 xDrive40e M Performance Edition costs RM 390,800. Both prices are
on-the-road before insurance, and each purchase comes with BMW five-year
unlimited mileage warranty with free scheduled service programme, BMW 24-month
tyre warranty, BMW Roadside Assistance and Accident Hotline, BMW White Card and
BMW Service Online.
