The All-New BMW X3 xDrive20d xLine
Price: THB 3,699,000 (VAT incl. with BSI Standard Package)
Sporty, authoritative and boundlessly innovative
The third generation of the BMW X3 follows in its predecessors’ tyre tracks by combining rugged off-road looks with a sporting presence. Its familiar proportions, including very short front and rear overhangs, shine the spotlight on the perfect 50:50 distribution of weight between the front and rear axle. The potent dynamic intent of the All-New BMW X3 xDrive20d xLine is highlighted by a three-dimensional kidney grille and foglamps featuring a hexagonal design for the first time on a BMW X model.
The xLine variant and the range of BMW Individual items allow the appearance of the All-New BMW X3 xDrive20d xLine to be adapted even more precisely to the customer’s individual tastes. The model comes with 19-inch light alloy wheels in Y-spoke style. The interior of the All-New BMW X3 xDrive20d xLine has an unbeatable finish and material quality, and is even classier and more luxurious than its predecessor. Comfort levels are further elevated by a host of new equipment options including three-zone automatic climate control, Ambient Light in six colors, mechanical roller sunblind for rear side windows, the cargo function of the standard 40:20:40 split/folding rear seat backrests and a panoramic glass roof that brings extra airiness to the interior and further enhances quality. Another new equipment item is the BMW Display Key, which not only locks and unlocks the All-New BMW X3 xDrive20d xLine by radio remote control, but also shows a variety of status information on the car and serves as the control unit for other functions of the vehicle.
More efficient engine and intelligent lightweight design
The All-New BMW X3 xDrive20d xLine also impresses with its economical BMW TwinPower Turbo, 4-cylinder diesel, operating alongside the eight-speed Steptronic transmission. The powerful engine produces 140 kW/190 hp, providing a peak torque of 400 Nm, allowing the All-New BMW X3 xDrive20d xLine to race from 0 to 100 km/h in 8 seconds before hitting a top speed of 213 km/h, with a fuel consumption of 17.6 km/l and combined CO2 emission of 150 g/km.
The rigorously applied BMW EfficientDynamics development strategy for the All-New BMW X3 xDrive20d xLine features both fuel-economy-optimizing powertrains and the extensive application of intelligent lightweight design measures. For example, the increased use of aluminium components in the engine and suspension has reduced the weight of the relevant assemblies.
Amplified driving pleasure and state-of-the-art operating system
The All-New BMW X3 xDrive20d xLine comes with the iDrive Touch Controller and 10.25-inch high-resolution control display. BMW gesture control allows various navigation and infotainment system functions to be operated intuitively using finger and hand gestures. Meanwhile, the Intelligent Voice Control Assistance lets drivers use everyday language to have their requests turned into the appropriate actions instead of having to use set spoken commands.
The All-New BMW 630d GT M Sport
Price: THB 4,739,000 (VAT incl. with BSI Standard Package)
The impressive functionality offered by the Gran Turismo body format and the high standards of driving comfort and spaciousness that provide the ideal setting for a relaxing journey are among the features that defined the character of the model’s predecessor – the founder of this vehicle genre. These strengths have now been further honed in the new BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo, whose systematic evolution from the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo is particularly evident in the new model’s sporting elegance, highly advanced equipment features, innovative control and assistance systems, and a leap forward in dynamism and efficiency.
Lighter, sportier, more comfortable and more efficient
A combination of intelligent lightweight engineering and increased use of aluminium and high-strength steel grades for body and chassis components has shaved an average of around 150 kilograms off the weight of the All-New BMW 630d GT M Sport compared to the outgoing model. Combined with the considerable improvement in the car’s aerodynamic properties, the increase in power and the superior efficiency of the new engines, this endows the car with a sportier performance while optimizing fuel economy.
The diesel engine at the heart of the All-New BMW 630d GT M Sport features cutting-edge TwinPower Turbo technology, operating alongside the eight-speed Steptronic transmission. The six-cylinder in-line diesel engine produces 195 kW/265 hp and can reach a peak torque of 620 Nm, allowing the All-New BMW 630d GT M Sport to race from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds before hitting a top speed of 250 km/h, with a fuel consumption rate of 17.7 km/l and combined CO2 emission of 149 g/km.
Design: dynamic proportions and elegant, flowing lines
The front end of the All-New BMW 630d GT M Sport has a distinctive, powerful appearance, with the lenses of the standard LED headlights extending all the way to the large BMW kidney grille. BMW’s signature sporting elegance is particularly evident when the car is viewed in profile, thanks to such familiar features as the long bonnet, set-back positioning of the cabin, doors with frameless windows, and an elongated window outline stretching deep into the rear end. The roofline sweeps down, coupe-style, to merge into a tail section that is now 64 millimeters lower in height. Rear lights with three-dimensional styling add an eye-catching touch. The addition of the M Aerodynamics package also adds a touch of flair to the All-New BMW 630d GT M Sport.
Ideal blend of driving pleasure, long-distance comfort and functionality
The interior has been designed to provide a driver-focused cockpit and an extremely spacious passenger compartment. The raised seating position optimizes the driver’s all-round view and together with the faultlessly ergonomic arrangement of the controls, helps to create an imperious sense of driving pleasure. The cabin’s lines, materials and precision workmanship imbue it with a highly sophisticated, premium feel. The rear compartment of the All-New BMW 630d GT M Sport comprises three full-size seats offering maximized legroom.
The All-New BMW 630d GT M Sport features a one-piece tailgate that opens and closes electrically as standard. The 40:20:40 split backrest can be folded flat electrically via a button in the boot. The two-piece luggage compartment cover has a rigid structure and can be stowed away in a compartment underneath the boot floor.
Equipped with a display and control system, the All-New BMW 630d GT M Sport offers unrivalled versatility for operating vehicle, navigation, communication and infotainment functions. At the heart of it all is the iDrive system, complete with the Touch Controller on the centre console and the Control Display, now in the form of a freestanding touchscreen. The high-resolution display has a screen diagonal of 10.25 inches; while the new model also offers the convenience of both enhanced Intelligent Voice Control Assistance and BMW gesture control.
The new BMW M760Li xDrive
Price: THB 13,539,000 (VAT incl. with BSI Standard Package)
The new BMW M760Li xDrive sets a new benchmark in the luxury sedan segment with superior ride comfort and supreme power delivery. Debuting the new M Performance TwinPower Turbo 12-cylinder petrol engine, the new model boasts an output of
448kW / 610hp at 5,500-6,500 rpm and a peak torque of 800 Nm at 1,550-5,000 rpm. The high-performance unit with leading-edge M Performance TwinPower Turbo technology accelerates the BMW M760Li xDrive from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds on the way to top speed of 250 km/h. Power transfer is via the state-of-the-art eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission working seamlessly with the standard Auto Start Stop function.
Through its exterior appearance alone, the new BMW M760Li xDrive embodies the dynamic mission statement of the BMW M Performance Automobiles with unmistakable clarity. The M aerodynamics package comes with exclusive 20-inch M light-alloy wheels in double-spoke and M rear spoiler. Other notable exterior features include BMW Laserlight, soft-close function for doors, Sky Lounge Panorama glass roof, Parking Distance Control (PDC), surround-view camera, parking assistant and Remote Control Parking.

The electrically adjustable comfort front and rear seats with massage function are in full Merino leather. The area of the centre console around the selector level and iDrive Controller is adorned with a BMW Individual decorative inlay in Piano Finish Black.
As in all variants of the new BMW 7 Series, the monitor of the iDrive operating system in the new range-topping BMW M760Li xDrive comes in a 10.25-inch touch display. The iDrive system also features the BMW gesture control system. Hand movements detected by a 3D sensor control infotainment function in an extremely intuitive and user-friendly fashion. The gestures can be used for a number of other functions, including controlling the volume in audio applications and accepting or rejecting incoming telephone calls. Also joining the fray is the rear-seat entertainment Experience, Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound system and telephone wireless charging.
BMW 530e Luxury: THB 3,639,000 (VAT incl. with BSI Standard Package)
The BMW 530e M Sport and BMW 530e Luxury are powered by the new two-litre four-cylinder in-line engine which, with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, generates a maximum output of 135 kW/ 184 hp and develops a peak torque of 290 Nm. Meanwhile, the electric motor generates power of 83 kW/ 133 hp and peak torque of 250 Nm. When working together, the engine and electric motor can reach the system output of 185 kW/ 252 hp and system torque of 420 Nm. Fuel consumption comes in at 55.6 km/litre with CO2 emissions of 41 g/km. Both models accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 6.2 seconds on its way to a top speed of 235 km/h.
With its SPORT, COMFORT and ECO PRO settings, drivers will also find an eDrive button at their disposal, which lets them tailor the BMW eDrive system’s operation even more precisely to the journey ahead through three driving modes: AUTO eDRIVE, MAX eDRIVE and BATTERY CONTROL. The high-voltage battery of the BMW 530e iPerformance can be fully charged in under five hours from a standard domestic power socket and in under three hours if it is hooked up to a BMW i Wallbox (3.7 kW charging capacity).
Parking Assistant, which enables automated parking with the greatest of ease in both parallel parking spaces and perpendicular or angled spaces, also comes with some extra functions. Potential parking spaces now only have to be around 80 centimetres longer than the vehicle itself to be eligible, meaning that the system can manoeuvre the car into even smaller spots than before. The ultrasonic sensors detect suitable parking spaces up to a speed of 35 km/h. The system then takes care of the entire parking procedure, including all necessary steering inputs, gear changes, acceleration and braking. Where parking spaces are perpendicular to or at an angle to the road, the system needs only around 40 centimetres of free space on each side of the car to trigger automated parking.
As in all the other models in the new BMW 5 Series line-up, the navigation, telephone, entertainment and vehicle functions grouped within the optional high-resolution 10.25-inch display can be controlled not only using the iDrive Controller, but also by simply touching the buttons on the display or with the help of the Intelligent Voice Assistant. BMW gesture control, which reacts to simple movements of the hand or fingers, offers users another option when it comes to operating these functions.
