Meh. Both the GT-R and BMW's cost out the arse to maintain in my opinion. IT's not oil-changes that get you, it's the $8000 brake-jobs and the $1500 transmission fluid changes.
I belive a brake job including rotors on my Z06 is under $1K. Transmission is "Fill-for-life" but if you just HAD to change it, probably could get it done for $200 or less if you didn't want to do it yourself.
Imports are just expensive as hell, and I really wish Nissan would change a few things about how they build cars. Even the little things they do. Such as those clamps on your hoses. Yeah, the little wire type. They will, over 5-6 years, groove the hoses, lose tension, and **** will leak all under there. BTDT with my Infiniti. Replaced it with worm-gear clamps like should have been used to begin with, if not quick-detach type fittings. Import cars are FULL of little stuff like that that will nickle and dime the piss out of you once they begin nearing the end of their service-life (around 100K miles/6-10 years for every component but the driveline it seems). My Infiniti has cost more to maintain than all of the domestics I have owned combined, even though my domestics had WAY more miles on them and were as old/older.
