Wasn't MY11 the first year of the N63?

Radical new engine design. High power output per liter. Forced induction with cylinder intake/exhaust flow reversed from a typical V configuration.

Lots of potential minor kinks to sort out with all of those firsts. I'm in the same boat, and forgot the key mantra from my automotive past--don't buy the first year of anything.
