BMW X1 sDrive20i now with M Sport Package

Kuala Lumpur, 9th January 2020 – BMW Malaysia has introduced the new BMW X1 sDrive20 M Sport, further adding to its portfolio of locally-assembled vehicles in Malaysia.

Harald Hoelzl, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia said, “The BMW X models also charted record highs in our local deliveries last year, accounting for more than 43% of vehicles in the BMW portfolio delivered in 2019. With these strong figures, we are confident that 2020 will present more opportunities for our segment-leading models to rise with the local automotive industry,”

The BMW X1 established the premium compact SAV segment in 2009 and is the best-selling vehicle in its class today. To maintain this leading position, the BMW X1 has undergone a comprehensive update in vehicle design and technological innovation to produce the New BMW X1 sDrive20i M Sport variant.

The new X1 sDrive20i M Sport now emanates a stronger road presence, the two halves of its larger kidney grille now joined in the middle. The redesigned front bumper with integrated LED fog lights and larger air intakes also lend the new SAV a more dynamic appearance. The tubes in the LED headlights have a hexagonal shape, underscoring the modern looks of the new X1 M Sport.

• 2.0-litre TwinPower Turbo engine, 192hp, 280Nm

• Pricing -  RM233,800

The Lights Package also includes a Welcome Light Carpet. When the vehicle is unlocked, an LED light source in the driver’s-side exterior mirror projects the characters “X1” onto the ground in two tones. The LED rear lights features a new design, with a single LED bar drawing the familiar L signature from side to side.

Thanks to its M Sport suspension, this variant of the X1 sees a ten-millimetre drop in ride height to 1,588mm. Together with the BMW Individual High-gloss Shadow Line trim and the M Aerodynamics Package this further adds to the efficiency and athleticism of the new SAV. Additionally the right and left tailpipes have grown in diameter from 70 to 90 millimetres. The new SAV also features 18-inch M light alloy wheels in Double-Spoke Style 570 M Bicolour.
