Nissan policy ties specific range restricted battery packs to specific models and they don't offer range upgraded battery packs for older models; this restricts the functionality of the older models and decreases their resale value greatly. Replacing a battery that cost almost as much as the chassis makes little sense. This is bad policy for the customer. On the other hand BMW builds a 'standard battery form factor' that allows upgrades across their entire line. If you buy and keep the car, BMW is the wiser decision.
