BMW Malaysia has launched two new M models in Malaysia, the BMW M2 CS and the BMW M3 Touring Competition. Both models were introduced at the BMW Clubhouse, which is taking place at Factory 19 PJ and will be open to the public from 17 to 19 July 2026.
The BMW M2 CS is priced at RM 950,800 on-the-road without insurance, or RM 993,100 with the five-year BMW Service & Repair Inclusive (BSRI) package.
Meanwhile, the BMW M3 Touring Competition M xDrive is priced at RM 898,800, or RM 950,900 with BSRI. This marks the first time the M3 Touring body style is officially offered in Malaysia.
The M2 CS arrives as the lightest and most powerful BMW M2 ever built. It is powered by the S58 3.0-litre M TwinPower Turbo inline-six engine, producing 530 hp at 6,250 rpm and 650 Nm of torque from 2,750 to 5,730 rpm.
Power is sent exclusively to the rear wheels through an 8-speed Steptronic Sport transmission. The M2 CS does 0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and, with the M Driver’s Package included as standard, reaches a top speed of 302 km/h after the 2,000 km running-in period and completion of the running-in check.
BMW says the M2 CS is around 30 kg lighter than other M2 models. Weight-saving measures include an M Carbon roof and an M Carbon tailgate developed specifically for this model. The tailgate also integrates a ducktail spoiler lip to generate additional downforce and improve stability at high speed.
Other exterior highlights include a model-specific kidney grille with wider air intakes and M2 CS lettering, a matt black front splitter, adaptive LED headlights with high-beam assistant, M Lights Shadowline, M high-gloss Shadowline trim and an M Carbon rear diffuser.
The M2 CS rides on staggered 19-inch front and 20-inch rear M light alloy wheels in Star-spoke Style 827 M, finished in Gold Bronze and fitted with track tyres. It also gets M Compound brakes with high-gloss red brake calipers.
The chassis receives CS-specific tuning, centred around Adaptive M Suspension that has been lowered by 8 mm. BMW says the model-specific spring and damping tuning is aimed at improving transverse dynamics on track, while the M Sport differential helps optimise traction and handling balance.
Inside, the M2 CS gets an M Alcantara steering wheel with carbon spokes, paddles, stitching in M colours and a red 12 o’clock marker. There is also a carbon centre console with a red CS logo, illuminated CS lettering on the door trim panels, M seat belts, carbon fibre interior trim and an M anthracite headliner.
The M Carbon bucket seats are trimmed in Merino leather and feature illuminated CS lettering and visible carbon surfaces. They are also designed to support multi-point harnesses, while the removable headrest cushion allows use with a helmet.
Standard equipment includes electric seat adjustment with memory function, automatic air conditioning, a storage compartment package, through-loading system, interior and exterior mirror package, Harman Kardon surround sound system with 14 speakers and 464 watts, BMW Live Cockpit Professional and Connected Package Professional.
The M2 CS also comes with M Drive Professional, which brings ten-level M Traction Control, M Mode Track and M Drift Analyser. Driver assistance features include Driving Assistant, Parking Assistant, active pedestrian safety and cruise control with braking function.
Every M2 CS also comes with a voucher for the M Intensive Training programme by BMW Driving Experience.
The M2 CS is offered in Black Sapphire, Brooklyn Grey and Velvet Blue, with Merino Black upholstery and M highlights.
As for the BMW M3 Touring Competition, it uses the same 3.0-litre M TwinPower Turbo inline-six engine, also producing 530 hp at 6,250 rpm and 650 Nm from 2,750 to 5,730 rpm. Unlike the M2 CS, power is sent to all four wheels through an 8-speed Steptronic Sport transmission and the M xDrive all-wheel-drive system.
The M3 Touring does 0-100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, with top speed electronically limited to 250 km/h.
The key difference, of course, is practicality. The M3 Touring offers 500 litres of luggage space with the rear seats upright, expanding to 1,510 litres when the rear seats are folded. An automatic tailgate is included as standard.
On the outside, the M3 Touring gets redesigned adaptive LED headlights with Matrix technology and high-beam assistant, along with the updated daytime running light signature seen on the latest M3 and M4 models. It also gets M Lights Shadowline, M high-gloss Shadowline with extended contents and staggered 19-inch front and 20-inch rear M forged wheels in Double-spoke Style 825 M Bicolour Black.
Inside, the M3 Touring gets an M Alcantara steering wheel with a flattened bottom section, M colour contrast stitching and a red 12 o’clock marker. The BMW Curved Display combines a 12.3-inch instrument display with a 14.9-inch control display, running BMW Operating System 8.5 with M-specific displays.
Other cabin details include M Carbon Fibre interior trim, a red M start button, a gear selector with embossed M logo, M Carbon bucket seats in Merino leather, M seat belts and an M anthracite headliner.
Standard comfort features include electric seat adjustment with memory function, automatic air conditioning, storage compartment package, through-loading system, Comfort Access and an interior and exterior mirror package. The Harman Kardon surround sound system here gets 16 speakers, a 464-watt amplifier and 9 channels.
Chassis equipment includes Adaptive M Suspension, M Sport differential and M Compound brakes with high-gloss red calipers.
For driver assistance, the M3 Touring gets Driving Assistant Professional. This includes Steering and Lane Control Assistant, Speed Limit Assist, Lane Change Assistant, Lane Keeping Assistant with active side collision protection, and front and rear crossing traffic warning.
Parking Assistant Plus is also included, bringing Surround View and Remote 3D View. The M3 Touring also gets Active Protection, front passenger airbag deactivation, BMW Drive Recorder, Intelligent Emergency Call and Teleservices.
The M3 Touring Competition M xDrive is available in Skyscraper Grey and Isle of Man Green. Skyscraper Grey can be paired with Merino Yas Marina Blue or Merino Silverstone upholstery, while Isle of Man Green is paired exclusively with Merino Kyalami Orange.
With BSRI, both the BMW M2 CS and BMW M3 Touring Competition M xDrive get a five-year unlimited mileage warranty and five years or 100,000 km of service coverage.
BMW Malaysia is also offering a Straight-Line Financing programme through BMW Group Financial Services Malaysia, with monthly instalments starting from RM 11,262 for the M2 CS and RM 10,646 for the M3 Touring Competition M xDrive. This is based on an 80% margin of finance over a seven-year tenure.
