BMW Introduces New, Locally Assembled BMW X3 xDrive20i From RM323,800.00
BMW Group Malaysia has announced the introduction of the new, locally assembled model of the BMW X3 xDrive20i, an entirely new production series to be assembled at BMW Group Malaysia’s Assembly Plant in Kulim, Kedah.
Similar to its imported counterparts, the locally assembled BMW X3 also features the advanced xDrive system that guarantees optimum performance in all driving situations. With improvements to the chassis which features a double-joint spring strut and a five-link rear suspension for extra agility and considerably enhanced ride comfort, the new BMW X3 xDrive20i’s all-wheel drive and electromechanical power steering systems have been further enhanced to ensure even more precise vehicle handling. For example, during routine cornering, additional power is transferred by the xDrive system to the rear wheels to foster precise steering and directional stability.
With BMW ConnectedDrive, owners of the new BMW X3 will also enjoy complete USB connectivity and Bluetooth hands free functions and are able to access a host of safety and infotainment functions such as BMW TeleServices and the optional BMW Telematics Platform Accessory (TPA), which includes an emergency Vehicle Recovery System as well as other BMW Assist remote services.
Featuring the powerful and efficient new two litre BMW TwinPower Turbo four-cylinder petrol engine, combining Double-VANOS, Valvetronic and BMW’s High Precision Injection system, the new BMW X3 xDrive20i offers unmatched and quintessential BMW performance with a total output of 135kW/ 184hp with a torque generation of 270Nm, allowing the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in just 8.6 seconds whilst only consuming an impressive 7.5l/100km of fuel and registering a CO2 emissions reading of a mere 175 g/km.
As part of the BMW EfficientDynamics strategy, the new BMW X3 also features optimised aerodynamics, intelligent lightweight construction, Brake Energy Regeneration,
Electromechanical Steering, the Auto Start/Stop function as well as the ECO PRO mode in combination with the 8-speed automatic transmission for an exemplary fuel consumption and emission reading.
Additionally, the new BMW X3 xDrive20i also features Driving Experience Control enabling drivers to choose different driving mode settings for the vehicle’s accelerator, engine, steering and transmission at the switch of a button located at the vehicle’s centre console. The modes available include “COMFORT”, “SPORT” and “ECO PRO”.
The new locally assembled BMW X3 xDrive20i is covered by BMW’s extensive service program, the BMW Service + Repair Inclusive (BS+RI) which covers the normal wear and tear repairs or replacements as well as maintenance, service and repair of factory components of the vehicle. The service program offers peace of mind BMW ownership and provides cover from three years from its original registration date or 60,000KM, whichever comes first.
The new BMW X3 xDrive20i will be available at all 16 authorised BMW dealerships nationwide from this Saturday, 12th January 2013. The retail price (on the road, without insurance, with BMW Service Inclusive + Repair) for the new BMW X3 xDrive20i is RM323, 800.
