Verdict
The RM125,200 gap buys a clear split in use. The BMW M2 Coupe reaches 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds, 0.7 seconds ahead of the Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric, and its rear-wheel-drive layout comes in a much shorter 4,580-mm body. The Porsche counters with five seats, a 584-litre boot and a 113-kWh battery rated for 661 km. For a Malaysian buyer carrying people and luggage and able to charge, take the Porsche; the BMW is the smaller, faster coupe.
Pick the BMW M2 Coupe if you want the quicker 4.1-second 0-100 km/h time and a RM125,200 lower entry price.
Pick the Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric if five seats, a 584-litre boot and 661 km of EV range matter more than outright acceleration.
