The first month of release in the UK had his garage 6 in one week all with transmission problems. Mill Hill Nissan Garage had 11 in at one point with one need a Engine rebuild at 400mile.

Knacker the Box and your looking at 10k+VAT and then the labor. In most cases the Warranty doesn't cover the box. And if you use the launch control (even with the new software) Nissan will still fuck you in the ass to get it repaired.

Faster? Yes, Cheaper? Like fuck it is!!!

I fully agree mate, My friend has two E92 M3's (1 manual, 1 DC-T) and sold them and got the Nissan, which was a MUCH more capable car. Just it was due like a 6k service after 3 months of ownership so he got rid.
