Verdict
At RM740,800, the BMW M4 Coupe F82 costs RM138,000 less than the RM878,800 BMW M4 Coupe G82 LCI, yet is 188 kg lighter and retains a 445-litre boot. The newer car earns its premium chiefly with 530 hp and 650 Nm, all-wheel drive and a 3.5-second 0-100 km/h time, against 431 hp, 550 Nm, rear-wheel drive and 4.1 seconds. For Malaysian roads, pedestrian braking, steering correction and the 360-degree camera are meaningful daily gains.
