BMW M4 Coupe LCI unleashed in M’sia, 3.0L, 425 hp & 550 Nm, RM760k



So the rumours about the discontinuation of sales of the BMW M3 and M4 in Malaysia is untrue, then, because together with the launch of the 4 Series LCI, the Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe rival is now yours for RM760,000.00.

With the facelift, the M4 gets minor nip and tuck enhancements to its appearance and chassis. It gets a new pair of full-LED adaptive headlamps and LED tail lamps as standard. Other visual items that separate the M4 from regular 4 Series are M specific wing mirrors, M gills at the front fenders, carbon roof, Powerdome (bonnet air inlet) and M quad exhaust. It rides on 19-inch lightweight M five twin-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in 255/35 and 275/35 (front and rear) tyres.

BMW Malaysia is offering the new M4 in three exterior shades – Sakhir Orange, Austin Yellow and Yas Marina Blue. Like all official BMW models, the M4 comes with 5-Years unlimited mileage warranty with free scheduled service and 2-Years BMW Tyre Warranty Programme as standard.
