BMW M4 Coupe: F82 vs G82 LCI
Verdict
The BMW M4 Coupe G82 LCI moves the game on mechanically: 530 hp and 650 Nm play 431 hp and 550 Nm, and all-wheel drive helps cut 0-100 km/h from 4.1 to 3.5 seconds. The BMW M4 Coupe F82 is not embarrassed, because both are capped at 250 km/h and it gives you a longer five-year warranty, a slightly larger 445-litre boot and a quoted 8.3 L/100 km. Road tax barely separates them at RM2,078 versus RM2,113 a year; the real Malaysian call is traction and pace against warranty cover.
Pick the BMW M4 Coupe F82 if you want the lower buy-in, five-year warranty, rear-wheel-drive layout and known 8.3 L/100 km fuel figure more than the newer car’s pace and all-wheel drive.
Pick the BMW M4 Coupe G82 LCI if you want 530 hp, 650 Nm, all-wheel drive, AEB and the sharper 3.5-second 0-100 km/h time, and can accept the two-year warranty.
