Verdict
The BMW M4 Coupe G82 LCI is the quicker car, lifting output from 503 hp to 530 hp and cutting the 0-100 km/h time from 3.9 to 3.5 seconds. But the RM167,940 jump from RM710,860 to RM878,800 is substantial for Malaysian buyers when both retain the same 650 Nm, eight-speed automatic, all-wheel drive and 1,800 kg kerb weight. The LCI brings a 14.9-inch curved display, Harman Kardon audio, head-up display and 360-degree camera; the outgoing G82 counters with blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and adaptive LED headlights with automatic high beam.
Pick the BMW M4 Coupe G82 if RM710,860, blind-spot monitoring and its broader listed driver-assistance kit matter more than a 0.4-second sprint advantage.
Pick the BMW M4 Coupe G82 LCI if you want 530 hp, a 3.5-second 0-100 km/h time, 360-degree parking view and the larger curved display.
