Verdict
At RM623,800, the BMW M2 Coupe costs RM55,800 more than the Toyota GR Supra, but brings a sizeable 138 hp and 100 Nm advantage: 473 hp and 600 Nm versus 335 hp and 500 Nm. Its 4.1-second 0-100 km/h time is only 0.2 seconds quicker, however. For Malaysian buyers who need occasional rear seats and luggage room, the BMW’s four seats and 390-litre boot make a real difference over the Toyota’s two seats and 290 litres. The 1,570 kg Supra is 155 kg lighter and has a five-year warranty, so the cheaper car remains the sharper ownership proposition on paper.
Pick the BMW M2 Coupe if you want 473 hp, four seats, a 390-litre boot and the larger 14.9-inch infotainment system.
Pick the Toyota GR Supra if you want to save RM55,800, carry less weight at 1,570 kg and get a five-year manufacturer warranty.
