CarTok Editor’s Note
The second allocation of just 50 units is a possible indication of the initial demand BMW Malaysia has seen for the locally assembled 218 Gran Coupé M Sport.
Local assembly allows BMW to position the 218 Gran Coupé more competitively in Malaysia, giving a choice to those who seek a premium brand but in a compact and more budget-friendly form.
