IMO BMW is out to help their customers because they want them back, Nissan knows that after you get into a GTR you run away to BMW or Porsche so they want to squeeze every penny they can out of their customers before they run away, it's not like you're going to go from a GTR to a Maxima, they only have one real performance model. Unless you are completely obvious with how you have modified your car, like heavy engine mods and your engine blows sure you're going to pay but even then BMW NA will help you with costs and cover some, Nissan will feed you a dick sandwich. I have been with BMW since 2007 with the 335 when it came out and i have been part of the community since then and i can tell you from many experiences that BMW works a lot better with their customers than a lot of other car brands.
I agree with most of that. I disagree on your statement of voiding cause you floor the car. THAT WOULD NEVER HOLD UP. I was just pointing out the amount of info stored now a days. I've had many M cars also and you are right about them being a bit better than NISSAN. Not sure though you spin your hub at 650 ft/lbs and NUKE the engine,they are going to be like hey, we will help you with the bill. One thing I can say, I have beat my GTR to hell. I have not had a single problem with it. NONE. No annoying lights, or electrical bullshit.

A piggyback and I can tell it'll pull harder through 3rd than my EVO. The EVO has insane pickup and go, but it does fall flat (although it's still super fast) around 3-4th gear (where power figures matter more than power/weight).

Amazing platform honestly.
What 60-130 did you get for the EVO & the M8 stock vs stock?
