Verdict
The G82 LCI is the faster, more rounded choice, putting 530 hp and 650 Nm through all-wheel drive to reach 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds; the F82 has 431 hp, rear-wheel drive and needs 4.1 seconds. It also adds pedestrian-detecting autonomous braking, steering correction and a 360-degree camera. But the newer coupe costs RM138,000 more, weighs 188 kg more and gives up 5 litres of boot space. For Malaysian buyers prioritising lower entry cost, a five-year manufacturer warranty and five-year/100,000 km free scheduled maintenance, the F82 remains the rational used-route alternative.
Pick the BMW M4 Coupe F82 if you want the RM740,800 entry price, 1,612 kg kerb weight and five-year manufacturer warranty with free scheduled maintenance.
Pick the BMW M4 Coupe G82 LCI if you want 530 hp, all-wheel drive, a 3.5-second 0-100 km/h time and modern active-safety hardware.
