BMW M2 Coupe vs Toyota GR Supra
Verdict
The BMW M2 Coupe does more of the measurable heavy lifting for RM623,800: 473 hp, 600 Nm, 0-100 km/h in 4.1 seconds, four seats and a 390-litre boot. The Toyota GR Supra costs RM698,000 and is slower on paper at 4.4 seconds, with 383 hp, 500 Nm, two seats and 290 litres of boot space. But it gets the enthusiast card right with a manual gearbox, plus a longer five-year warranty and seven airbags. For Malaysian buyers, this is numbers versus involvement.
Pick the BMW M2 Coupe if you want the quicker, more powerful coupe with rear-wheel drive, four seats and a bigger boot for less money.
Pick the Toyota GR Supra if you want a rear-wheel-drive coupe with a manual gearbox, longer warranty cover and a stricter two-seat layout.
