BMW Malaysia has a new price list for 2025, and when compared to last year, almost every model will cost more. The increases go as high as RM11,000 or 3.51% at the models’ retail pricing, or RM15,200 or 3.54% with the BMW Service Inclusive (BSI) extended warranty and service package – this also appears to have its price revised.
Models that don’t see an increase in price include the X3 and its all-electric equivalent, the iX3. The former is currently in its third generation (G01) and is due to be replaced with the newer, fourth-generation (G45) model that made its debut in June 2024. The current X3 range includes the sDrive20i M Sport, xDrive30e M Sport and xDrive30i M Sport – the Final Editions of the first two are gone.
The iX3 (internal code G08) is based on the G01 and it too is bound to be retired to make way for the production version of the Vision Neue Klasse X, which directly previews a next-generation iX3 – this was revealed in March last year. The introduction of the iX3 Impressive Final Edition last April is a clear indicator that the current iX3’s time is running out.
Two i4 variants – the i4 eDrive35 and i4 M50 – also maintain their pricing, although both are pre-facelift offerings. The latest price list also shows the i4 eDrive40 M Sport, the first variant of the model to be sold here, has been dropped.
With the arrival of the refreshed i4 eDrive35 M Sport, we can expect the other variants to be updated as well. The facelifted i4 eDrive35 M Sport costs RM10,000 or 3.51% (RM10,800 or 3.54% with BSI) more than its pre-facelift equivalent.
As for models that do get a price hike, both variants of the 2 Series Gran Coupe, including the Final Edition are RM3,000 more (RM4,100 with BSI) and remain on the list, likely to tide things over until the second-generation model arrives.
Meanwhile, the 3 Series range is RM6,000 more (RM7,200 with BSI) than before, although this only affects the non-plug-in hybrid variants. The 330e M Sport is curiously missing from the 2025 list and the same is also true of the regular M340i xDrive (the M Sport Pro remains). Lesser M3 variants are also gone, leaving just the fully-loaded M3 Competition M xDrive with Pro Package.
Another popular nameplate is the 5 Series, which recently got a third variant called the 530i M Sport, although that’s only being revealed with estimated pricing for now. The existing 520i and 520i M Sport are RM8,000 more (RM11,400 with BSI), while the long-standing 630i GT M Sport sees a RM6,000 (RM9,400 with BSI) increase. The flagship 7 Series can no longer be had in Pure Excellence form, so there’s just the M Sport that is RM8,000 more (RM13,100 with BSI).
BMW’s range of Sports Activity Vehicles (SAVs) starts with the X1, which is RM6,000 more (RM8,200 with BSI) for the sole sDrive20i xLine variant. The X4, X5 and X6 are also single-variant models here and now cost RM5,000 (RM6,200 with BSI), RM8,000 (RM9,800 with BSI) and RM8,000 (RM9,800 with BSI) more respectively.
The facelifted X7 keeps its Pure Excellence and M Sport variants, both being RM11,000 (RM15,200 with BSI) more than before. The XM variants, which are the top three expensive offerings in the entire line-up, are around RM5,000 to RM5,350 more, with or without BSI. The Z4 convertible keeps its place in the 2025 price list, albeit with a RM6,000 (RM10,400 with BSI) price hike.
Coming to the other BMW i electric vehicles (EVs), the both the i5 eDrive40 M Sport and M50 are RM1,000 (RM4,200 with BSI) more than before. The i7 xDrive60 M Sport sees a larger RM7,550 (RM11,650 with BSI) price hike, while the iX1 loses the variant it debuted with – the xDrive30 M Sport – leaving just the eDrive20 M Sport that is RM1,000 (RM2,600 with BSI) more.
The iX1’s more stylish sibling, the iX2, also sees an increase of the same amount. Lastly, the iX loses three of its four variants previously offered, leaving just the updated xDrive50 Sport that is up by RM1,000 (RM2,700 with BSI).
The last extensive price revision for BMW models was in January 2024 where prices went up by as much as RM29k with BSI. Hopefully this won’t be a consistent yearly thing moving forward.
