Verdict
At RM772,800, the F82 LCI is RM106,000 cheaper and 188 kg lighter, yet its 431 hp and 550 Nm still deliver 0-100 km/h in 4.1 seconds. The G82 LCI answers with 530 hp, 650 Nm, all-wheel drive and a 3.5-second sprint, plus autonomous braking with pedestrian detection and a 360-degree camera. Its 4,794 mm body is 123 mm longer, though, and its boot is 5 litres smaller. For Malaysian buyers, the G82’s pace and safety hardware justify the extra only if they matter more than the F82’s lower price and lighter kerb weight.
Pick the BMW M4 Coupe F82 LCI if RM106,000 saved, a 1,612 kg kerb weight and a slightly larger 445-litre boot matter more than newer driver-assistance hardware.
Pick the BMW M4 Coupe G82 LCI if you want 530 hp, 650 Nm, all-wheel drive traction, a 3.5-second 0-100 km/h time and a 360-degree camera.
