I honestly have never heard of a GTR blowing their stock transmission that wasn't modded or doing back to back hard launches on the car. In fact I have heard of FAR MORE DCT failures. The "problem" with the GTR is that it's extremely easy to make an extra 75HP, and fairly easy to make an extra 200HP. That's what's breaking the trannies... I think the transmission is a non-issue. The consumables definitely is an issue clutch fluid $1100, brakes $2200, tires $2800, and that was in the first 11k miles LOL. Well put the GTR is a sledge hammer, not a great daily driver (I don't daily drive mine), whereas the M3 is drivable daily. Of course the M3 is also a lot slower...

With a few track events yeah... As I recall the front rotors are $800 MSRP each, assuming 30% off backs are less with pads at say $200 you're over $2200. A few aftermarket ones are less as I recall, but I've sold a variety of 2pc rotors and I still prefer OEM...

not really that out of line. OEM BMW rotors run 650 front and 550 rear then set of pagids fron 380 and rear 330. your right at 1900 for oem doing the work yourself. 2800 for tires is that part that makes me cringe. i can get 4 275-35s for just over 1000 bucks.

Keeping this thread on topic: The 09-11 and 12+ GTRs are pretty similar except for the LED bumper. From a powertrain perspective (computer aside) both still use the IHI RH55 turbos, the nozzle area is slightly larger on the 12+ hotside due mainly to cracking and not performance reasons, the tuning (boost) is a bit more aggressive resulting in an extra 60 or so horses. Not certain it's worth the premium to pay for a 12+, so I guess if you're looking for a used one keep that in mind - Good luck!

Having been around the metaphorical internet automotive-world block a few times as a global forum if that thread reached 25 pages with 80% of the guys unmodded that's a concern. 3 pages of guys not wanting to pay for what they broke (it is a $8-12k rebuild to be fair) that doesn't surprise me at all and frankly as a statistical measure to extrapolate the likelihood of a GTR transmissions breaking it is meaningless. I have heard all manner of sob stories from guys putting a rod through the block and trying to save up to buy a new motor. There were cars in shops for MONTHS while the owner saved up trying to pay for a new motor. Kid literally crying to me on the phone. It seems especially here in the states with our easy credit a few GTR owners stretched a bit too much and couldn't pay for broken parts and tried to seek warranty coverage. Certainly this was also the case with the transmission....

Check the weight. They seem to be really heavy from what I remember.

Everything is heavier than PSS and PS2. I think same size in ad08 and the BFG for me were 6 lbs different.
