I was just a bit let down that it's coming with the same performance as a 10 year old nissan. I have had no bad experience with Nissan. Dealer was super cool for maint ( Bring my own fluids ) the only time the car was there for a problem was a Bellhousing that was fixed for free. Fixed in 3 days
I think calling the GTR just a "13-year old platform" misses important context.

Nissan's been relentlessly improving the car's performance incrementally the entire time. Even they haven't been able to manage any big improvements over that 2012 car without charging you over $200k (!) for it.

So, we're left with a $78k xDrive BMW M3 that performs nearly as well as the $115k 2021 GTR, while having 4 doors, a great interior, and 3 years of free maintenance with loaners.

If the car performs as expected, it's going to be a homerun for BMW.
