BMW Malaysia has just confirmed the price of the 2024 BMW 520i (G60) at RM359,700, which is inclusive of the 5-year extended warranty and Service Package. Locally assembled (CKD) here in Malaysia, the luxury sedan first made its Malaysian market debut at Malaysia Autoshow 2024 and now serves as the entry-level variant of the BMW 5 Series lineup in Malaysia.
If you have seen the BMW i5, you have most probably seen the 520i too, as they look pretty much identical. One main giveaway on the 520i is a fuel flap rather than a charging flap present on the i5 lineup. Just in case you are still confused, you can just take a look at its wheels as the 520i in Malaysia is fitted with a different set of wheels, which is the Style 934 wheels.
Unlike its more expensive counterparts in Malaysia, the standard 520i doesn’t come with the M Sport kit. This means the bumpers are not as sporty and the window linings are in a chrome finish.
Below are standard equipment included with the 2024 BMW 520i in Malaysia:
- 19-inch Style 934 wheels
- BMW kidney grille with Iconic Glow
- Adaptive LED headlights
