Verdict
At RM878,800, the BMW M4 Coupe asks RM129,800 more than the RM749,000 Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric. The BMW’s 530 hp, 650 Nm inline-six hits 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds, 1.3 seconds ahead of the Porsche, and reaches 250 km/h. But the Porsche counters with 835 Nm from dual motors, a 113 kWh battery and 661 km range, while annual road tax is RM665 against RM2,113. For a Malaysian buyer needing five seats, five doors and a 534-litre boot, the Porsche is the more usable machine; the BMW is the faster, far lighter choice at 1,800 kg.
Pick the BMW M4 Coupe if 3.5-second 0-100 km/h acceleration, a 250 km/h top speed and 730 kg less weight matter more than cabin practicality and road tax.
Pick the Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric if you want five seats, 661 km EV range, 835 Nm and RM1,448 lower annual road tax.
