BMW M4 Coupe: F82 LCI vs G82 LCI
Verdict
At RM 772,800 versus RM 878,800, the BMW M4 Coupe F82 LCI is RM106,000 cheaper and still serious: 431 hp, 550 Nm and 0-100 km/h in 4.1 seconds. The BMW M4 Coupe G82 LCI moves the game on with 530 hp, 650 Nm, all-wheel drive and a 3.5-second sprint, plus auto emergency braking. But the older car has the longer 5-year warranty against 2 years, a slightly bigger 445-litre boot and only RM35 less annual road tax separates them.
Pick the BMW M4 Coupe F82 LCI if you want the lower price, longer warranty and rear-wheel-drive M4 character without giving up much boot space.
Pick the BMW M4 Coupe G82 LCI if you want the harder-hitting car, with 99 hp more, 100 Nm more, all-wheel drive and auto emergency braking.
