Prospective customers of the BMW 5 Series in Malaysia who are fans of the blacked-out look now have one more model to choose from, enter the BMW 530i M Sport Dark Shadow Edition.
The petrol-powered G30 5 Series with the
darkened aesthetic is limited to a run of 36 units, and as the nameplate
indicates, features the B48 2.0 litre turbocharged petrol inline-four cylinder
offering 252 hp from 5,200 to 6,500 rpm and 350 Nm of torque between 1,450 and
4,800 rpm. As before, transmission is via an eight-speed automatic.
The Dark Shadow Edition starts with the
exclusive use of Carbon Black exterior paint, and to that it adds Shadow Line
parts comprised of black window trim, high-gloss black kidney grille and
20-inch M Performance alloy wheels finished in Orbit Grey, and includes tyre
pressure monitoring.
Inside, the Shadow Edition specification
offers a choice of Dakota leather trim in black with blue stitching, or in
Cognac with contrast stitching. All in, the 530i M Sport Dark Shadow Edition
weighs in at RM 392,800 on-the-road without insurance, or RM 10,000 more than the
regular 530i M Sport at RM 382,800. The Shadow Line trim and M Performance wheel
set are worth RM 37,000 when specified separately, says BMW Malaysia.
This also means that the latest pricing
for the regular, non-Shadow Edition 530i M Sport has risen by RM 10,000 from
this year’s pre-SST exemption price of RM 372,800, which was then reduced to
RM 363,756 with the SST exemption that is in place until December 31.
The 530i M Sport Dark Shadow Edition will
be available to order exclusively from the BMW Shop Online from January 4,
where bookings for the model can be made for a fee of RM 1,000. The limited-run 5 Series will be on display at selected
dealerships from January until February 18.
