KUALA LUMPUR: BMW Malaysia has finally added the much-awaited 320i Sport model in its line-up. Touted as the world’s best-selling premium sports sedan, the 320i Sport carries a classical racing car design. The sedan, built on a lightweight framework, weighs 1,460 kg, a reduction of 30 kg than before and is a more rigid vehicle than ever before. 

Talking about the exteriors, the 320i Sport boasts the same LED adaptive headlamps and less aggressive bumpers at the front and rear. The mesh grille on the central intake has been replaced with three horizontal bars layout, while the front LED fog lights with integrated air curtains are inserted into outside air intakes in a horizontal T fashion.

The system and cabin features are powered by the BMW operating system 6 and not operating system 7 as before. The OS also powers the BMW Digital Key, which comes with Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, meaning you can now lock/unlock and start the 320i Sport with compatible smartphones without using a physical key.

Aside from this, it gets six airbags, ABS, EBD, Isofix child seat anchors, passive cruise control with a braking feature, a rearview camera, parking assist with reversing assist and attentiveness assistant.
