First Revision Of BMW I5 EDrive40 M Sport In Malaysia
JAKARTA - After four months of its official launch, the BMW i5 eDrive40 M Sport underwent its first revision in Malaysia. This electric model has undergone several changes.
Quoting from the Paultan page, Thursday, March 14, the i5 price has now increased by 300 ringgit, or less than Rp. 1 million, and is currently sold at a price of 399,800 ringgit, or around Rp. 1.3 billion with a standard two-year warranty without a travel distance limit.
Several changes have been made, including an increase in AC's internal charging three phases from 11 kW to 22 kW. This reduces the time required for full charging to just 4 hours 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, for DC fast charging, there is no change, with speeds up to 205 kW, and able to recharge batteries from zero to 80 percent in just 34 minutes.
However, some standard equipment has been removed to keep prices competitive. The 21-inch BMW Individual Style has been replaced by a 20-inch roller Style. In addition, the roof of the panoramic glass, ventilated chairs, crystal control, and iDrive turn voters no longer include standard equipment.
Despite this, several other features remain, including adaptive LED headlights, Iconic Glow grip, keyless entry with BMW Digital Key Plus, start button, BMW Live Cockpit Professional with 12.3-inch digital instrument display, and a 14.9-inch central touch screen with support from Apple wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as wireless charger Qi.
