Verdict
At RM623,800, the BMW M2 Coupe costs RM255,000 less than the RM878,800 BMW M4 Coupe, yet both carry the same RM2,113 annual road tax and use a 2,993 cc twin-turbo inline-six with an eight-speed automatic. The M4 earns its premium with 530 hp, 650 Nm and all-wheel drive, cutting the 0-100 km/h time to 3.5 seconds against the M2’s 473 hp, 600 Nm, rear-wheel drive and 4.1 seconds. But the M2 is 75 kg lighter, 214 mm shorter and brings useful blind-spot and rear cross-traffic aids.
Pick the BMW M2 Coupe if RM255,000 saved, a 1,725 kg kerb weight and its blind-spot plus rear cross-traffic systems matter more than outright acceleration.
Pick the BMW M4 Coupe if you want 530 hp, 650 Nm, all-wheel drive, a 3.5-second 0-100 km/h time and a larger 440-litre boot.
