BMW Malaysia recently commenced pre-booking for the First-Ever BMW iX2 xDrive30 in the Malaysian market, offering a uniquely versatile All-Electric Sports Activity Coupé ideally equipped for every situation.
As the first all-electric iteration of the BMW X2, the First-Ever BMW iX2 xDrive30 sees digital innovation with the incorporation of a control system based on the Android Open Source, for the first time.
The First-Ever BMW iX2 xDrive30’s rebellious appearance is first presented by its front design, which features the new redesigned closed BMW kidney grille with a black mesh grille and black high-gloss kidney frame, highlighted by the BMW Kidney Iconic Glow.
The adaptive LED headlights with BMW Selective beam are accompanied by new daytime running lights with a vertically arranged light signature that provides optimum visibility for a safer drive as well as a contemporary design signature. Other than that, the front apron also comes with a black radiator grille in black high gloss.
From the side, the muscular silhouette of the First-Ever BMW iX2 xDrive30 is characterised by a gently sloping roofline, backwards-tapered windows, M high-gloss Shadow line, and long wheelbase.
This is accompanied by V-spoke style 873 M Bicolour 20-inch M light alloy wheels and flush door handles to further accentuate its hallmark sportiness. As for the rear, the LED taillights are fitted as standard contributing to the First-Ever BMW iX2 xDrive30’s striking appearance which is accentuated by its distinctive high-gloss black rear spoiler.
Inside, the cockpit of the First-Ever BMW iX2 xDrive30 spotlights the fully digital, driver-oriented BMW Curved Display, with its combined, high-resolution 10.25-inch instrument display cluster and 10.7-inch control display, as the centre of attention.
Along with the full-colour BMW Head-Up Display, which projects essential driving information into the driver’s line of vision, wireless charging tray with a built-in cooling system, front armrest with integrated control panel, automatic tailgate operation and the Harman Kardon Hi-Fi speaker system, the First-Ever BMW iX2 xDrive30 features advanced digitalisation that lends the cockpit an exceptionally modern appeal.

Standard sport seats are provided for the front, which effectively envelopes the body providing a high level of support and comfort. As for the rear seats, variable loading is provided, which allows it to be folded down in a 40:20:40 split.

The century sprint is achieved in just 5.6 seconds, with an electronically limited, maximum speed of 180 km/h.
This model also comes equipped with the latest charging technology for AC and DC that enables drivers to charge their First-Ever BMW iX2 xDrive30 quickly and conveniently, both at home and when out and about.
