Verdict

The BMW M4 Coupe G82 LCI costs RM167,940 more, and its 530 hp output cuts the 0-100 km/h time from 3.9 to 3.5 seconds. It also gets a 14.9-inch curved display, 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio, head-up display and 360-degree camera. But the BMW M4 Coupe G82 retains adaptive LED headlamps, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and an Active M Differential. For a Malaysian buyer, the outgoing car is the sharper value call unless those LCI cabin upgrades and extra 27 hp matter most.

G82

Pick the BMW M4 Coupe G82 if you want to save RM167,940 while gaining adaptive LED headlamps, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.

G82 LCI

Pick the BMW M4 Coupe G82 LCI if you want 530 hp, a 3.5-second 0-100 km/h time, a 14.9-inch display and a 360-degree camera.
