BMW unveils all new BMW X3 xDrive20i

BMW Group Malaysia, the distributor of the BMW and MINI Cooper marquees in the country, today introduced the new BMW X3 xDrive20i, an entirely new production series to be assembled at the BMW assembly plant in Kulim, Kedah.

"The introduction of the new BMW X3 xDrive20i marks the fourth model line we have introduced at our assembly facilities, and further increases BMW Group Malaysia’s investment and commitment in the country," said its Chief Executive Officer Gerhard Pils.

He said the new locally assembled units will continue to match the capabilities of their imported counterparts here and will further allow the company to optimise its supply to customers nationwide.

In a statement today, Pils said the new BMW X3 has created a unique medium Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) segment that integrates form, function and style into one dynamic package.

"Since its introduction in March 2011, we had delivered a total of 312 units of the BMW X3 to date.

"Like all the new BMW 3 Series, the new BMW 5 Series and the new BMW X1 that are currently assembled at our facilities in Kulim, the new BMW X3 will be a key contributor to our continued success and growth here in Malaysia," he added.

The new BMW X3 xDrive20i will be available for purchase at all 16 authorised BMW dealerships nationwide from Jan 12, 2013.

The retail price (on the road, without insurance, with BMW Service plus Repair Inclusive) is RM323,800.
