BMW M4 vs. Nissan GT-R: Pic Of The Week

An intriguing comparison previewed in a very autumnal Pic of the Week!

---

This M4 against GT-R test actually came about entirely by chance. Typically these two wouldn't be considered rivals, what with the M4 starting at less than £60K and the GT-R nearer £80K.

But this isn't a sub-£60K BMW M4. It's the Fleet M4, delivered from BMW with a swathe of options that boosted the as tested price to nearly £74,000. The 45th Anniversary GT-R arrived without any extras as a £79,780 car, carrying a £1,750 premium over the standard car. All of a sudden they're in the same ballpark.

So we had to put the two together, drive them back to back and get a few shots too. Full verdict to follow, but here's a little treat for your desktop beforehand!

Easy comparison: One is a future classic Japanese supercar and one of the greatest automotive performance icons of all time, and the other is BM's latest attempt to flog flash metal to overpaid execs.
