Please note: the year shown is when the model name was first introduced, not the year of the current generation, which is usually later. Line-ups differ by country, and manufacturers add or retire models often, so some models here may not be on sale in Malaysia. This list covers current and key recent models rather than every historical variant. Check BMW's official website or a local dealer for the models and specifications available today.
