Verdict
The RM608,099 gap is enormous: the BMW M4 Coupe brings 530 hp and 650 Nm against the Audi TT’s 230 hp and 370 Nm, cutting the 0-100 km/h time from 5.9 to 3.5 seconds. It is also a substantially larger four-seater, with a 440-litre boot versus 305 litres. But the TT costs RM270,701, weighs 465 kg less and carries annual road tax of RM372 rather than RM2,113. For a Malaysian buyer who wants a compact coupe without M4-level outlay and running costs, the Audi is the rational choice; the BMW is the serious performance machine.
Pick the Audi TT if RM270,701 pricing, RM372 annual road tax and a 1,335-kg compact coupe matter more than outright pace.
Pick the BMW M4 Coupe if you want 530 hp, 650 Nm, all-wheel drive and a 3.5-second 0-100 km/h time.
