I believe they see Nissan as a direct performance threat in this competitive market and proof shows that many guys dumped their V8 M3's once the new GTR was released. Check these forums for the ones who switched over.
doubt bmw sees nissan as a threat mainly because nissan isnt a direct competitor company to company or m3 to gtr. so what nissan did doesnt apply to what bmw might do. when they have had all these great engines they wouldnt go and mess it up because their sales would fall through and thats what is more important on an economical standpoint for them.
