If the BMW i5 eDrive40 M Sport for some reason is still too tame for you, and you missed out on the BMW i5 Limited Edition with M Performance Parts from Auto Bavaria just three months ago, good news: the optional M Performance parts for the BMW i5 are now available to order at all BMW dealerships – though you’ll of course need to pay extra for the aesthetic upgrades.
The number of M Performance items offered remains the same, but it’s worth noting that the wheels are different:
- BMW M Performance exterior mirror cap
- BMW M Performance Carbon side skirt
- BMW M Performance rear spoiler
- BMW M Performance 21-inch Jet Black, gloss milled light alloy wheels (Style 943M)
- BMW M Performance Aramid rear diffuser insert
- BMW M Performance Carbon front splitter
The drivetrain on the BMW i5 eDrive40 remains unchanged, which means, you’re still doing the same 0-100 km/h sprint in 6.0 seconds with its 340 hp and 430 Nm max output (when Boost mode kicks in), top speed is just shy of the double century mark at 193km/h.
The more aggressive exterior is not reflected in the interior, as BMW Group Malaysia has not announced any interior enhancements for the BMW i5 eDrive40 M Sport. As such, well-heeled buyers can expect the same interior as its tamer looking sibling.

The regular BMW i5 eDrive40 M Sport is priced at RM420,100 on-the-road sans insurance, and as we mentioned earlier, the look-faster bits are optional cost items. With BMW Group Financial Services Malaysia’s Easy Drive financing package, you can own one of these from as low as a RM4,492 monthly instalment, or if you prefer conventional financing, the Straight-Line plan offers interest rates ranging from 0.88% to 2.88%, with monthly instalments starting from RM4,416 (80% loan on a seven-year tenure).
Like the 520i M Sport, the RM420,100 price for the BMW i5 eDrive40 M Sport is inclusive of BMW’s Service and Repair package, which also consists of the 5-year extended warranty and service package.
