The all-new BMW X3 xDrive M Sport has arrived today along a few other new models, taking the iconic Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) to new heights with a striking design and state-of-the-art technology.
Priced at RM349,000, its monolithic stance is accentuated by sharp contours, expansive surfaces, and clean, dynamic lines—making an unforgettable impression on the road.
At the front, the illuminated BMW Iconic Glow kidney grille (in Pearl Chrome) and new L-shaped LED headlights create a commanding presence. The side profile exudes sportiness with an elongated bonnet, short overhangs, and refined wheel arches—now free of black plastic cladding for a sleeker look.
Completing the bold aesthetic are 19-inch M alloy wheels and a redesigned rear with signature double L-shaped taillights.
Step inside, and the BMW Curved Display takes center stage—a seamless integration of a 12.3-inch instrument cluster and 14.9-inch touchscreen, angled toward the driver for optimal accessibility. The BMW Interaction Bar below adds a touch of sophistication with 15 ambient lighting colors and intuitive touch controls.
Key interior features include:
- Veganza perforated upholstery in Espresso Brown or Black
- M leather steering wheel with a flattened bottom for easy entry
- Sports seats with electric adjustment and memory function
- Wireless charging (15W) with LED illumination
- 3-zone automatic climate control for personalized comfort

The 8-speed Steptronic transmission and standard xDrive all-wheel-drive system ensure superior traction and agility whether on winding roads or rough terrain.
