Verdict
The outgoing BMW 6 Series GT G32 is RM29,961 dearer at RM430,800, but brings 258 hp, a 6.3-second 0-100 km/h time, 6.6 L/100 km consumption and air suspension at both ends. The BMW 6 Series GT G32 LCI costs RM400,839 and answers with laser high beams, pedestrian detection, rear cross traffic alert and more useful USB ports, but is 65 kg heavier, 0.2 seconds slower and rated at 7.3 L/100 km. For a Malaysian used buyer, the G32’s five-year unlimited-mileage warranty and free scheduled maintenance matter if still applicable.
Pick the BMW 6 Series GT G32 if you prioritise air suspension, lower rated fuel use and the stronger five-year warranty package.
Pick the BMW 6 Series GT G32 LCI if you want the RM29,961 lower price plus laser high beams, pedestrian detection and rear cross traffic alert.
