I feel bad for getting OT on this thread but I can't help it. BMW's "ultimate driving machine" is one of the best marketing slogan of all time in the automotive industry. Sure, BMW designs its car with handling as one of the top priority. But they're not the only one. To some, "ultimate driving machine" is how smooth and supple the ride is. Which in that case, BMW is not at the top, Benz & Lexus is. To some, "ultimate driving machine" is price performance, which Infiniti takes the crown. BMW is the "ultimate driving machine" when you're talking about balance in power, handling, and ride quality. But you sacrifice the price for that level of balance. Also, I hardly call the 328i or any low powered BMW an "ultimate driving machine" even though they priced it like it is.
There's some truth in the slogan, most people just don't push their cars to the limit to prove it. G35/37 and IS250/350 isn't a track friendly car. Nissan's redeeming factor is that they have an uber nissan, Skyline GTR, which is the real deal.
Unfortunately, the waitlist for these and the expected dealer markup of $20k+ for these limited production cars will easily push the price well close to the $100k, which is insane for something that comes from nissan imho.
You can make money in buying and selling limited production cars, but getting to an allocation is the challenge.
