BMW iX1

Variants: xDrive30
When: TBC
How much: TBC

BMW’s smallest SUV gets a full electric drivetrain for the first time. As detailed in an earlier news story on CarBuyer Singapore, the iX1 xDrive30 is driven by two electric motors, which produce a total of 313hp and 494Nm. It boasts a maximum range of 440km between charges. If we follow the iX3’s trajectory, it could end up being cheaper than a regular BMW X1 – which we’ve tested and found rather impressive – assuming all the EV benefits don’t evaporate anytime soon. The official word from BMW is that there’s no confirmation of the car’s arrival in 2023, but we hope to see it squeak through in Q4 2023.

BMW 2 Series Active Tourer

Variants: 216i
When: Q1
How much: S$214,888 with COE

With rising COEs, the BMW 216i Active Tourer pairs the appeal of a premium badge along with a less expensive price tag. While less powerful than the 218i Active Tourer, the 216i AT still combines the ease of access you’d find in a regular MPV, with the drivability of a compact hatchback. 

BMW 3 Series Sedan

The revised BMW 3 Series has already landed at the Singapore Motorshow, adopting larger curved interior screens, powered by the BMW Operating System 8, which were seen earlier in the BMW i4.

The BMW 3 Series Touring does all the good things the sedan does, which includes heaps of tech and driving pleasure; but provides even more versatility. The updated car is expected to arrive in Singapore before June 2023, so if you want one, start indicating your interest at the dealership as they typically only have a few for sale here.

BMW M2

Variants : 8-speed steptronic, 6-speed manual
When: Q2

Purists would rejoice. The second-generation BMW M2 retains that same successful formula of an in-line 6, paired with only RWD. The new M2 is also more powerful, and features a 3D printed cylinder head, which boasts improved coolant duct routing. For Singapore, BMW has also given buyers the choice of a manual.

BMW M3 Touring

Variants: M3 Touring 
When: January 2023
How much: S$563,888 with COE

For the first time, the BMW M3 range is offered as an estate car. The M3 Touring takes all that is good in the M3, with its inline six 3.0 litre engine, sure-footed xDrive, and adds heaps of versatility to the mix. The first-ever M3 Touring boasts cargo space that expands from 500 litres to a maximum capacity of 1,510 litres. Alongside the facelifted 3 Series, the M3 Touring had its official debut at the Singapore Motorshow 2023.

BMW has also announced a more powerful Label Red variant in the works, which boasts 738hp and 1000Nm.

BMW X5

Variants : TBC
When: Q3
How much: TBC

The BMW X5 was probably the luxury SUV which caused the domino effect of inspiring other manufacturers to follow their (more car-like) success formula.  The fourth generation X5 gets a mid-life facelift, just in-time to take on the new Range Rover Sport.

BMW X6

Variants : TBC
Estimated Launch Date: Q3
Pricing: TBC

Following the refreshed BMW X5, the X6 Coupe SUV also gets a midlife styling refresh. As with newer BMW cars, the X6 is now equipped with BMW’s high-tech Operating System 8, but few other details have been confirmed.

BMW Z4

Variants : TBC
When: Q2
How much: TBC

The BMW Z4 was co-developed with Toyota, with the latter producing the Supra. While the Toyota was produced a coupe, the Z4 was exclusively a soft-top. Its mid-life update sees subtle exterior design tweaks. BMW decided against runflat tyres for the Z4 range, so that ride quality would not be affected negatively.
