Verdict
At RM317,800, the F10 LCI brings 400 Nm, a 520-litre boot and a five-year manufacturer warranty; it is the stronger used-buy case if those matter more than newer assistance systems. The RM340,800 G60 costs RM23,000 more, but cuts the 0-100 km/h time from 7.9 to 7.5 seconds and adds autonomous braking, blind-spot monitoring, active cruise control with Stop & Go, and a 360-degree camera. For Malaysian buyers wanting current daily-driving tech, the G60 is the clearer choice; the F10 counters with more torque and luggage room.
Pick the BMW 5 Series F10 LCI if 400 Nm, a 520-litre boot and its five-year manufacturer warranty matter more than the latest driver assists.
Pick the BMW 5 Series G60 if you will use autonomous braking, active cruise control, a 360-degree camera and the quicker 7.5-second sprint.
