And the back-of-the-mind fear in a lot of buyers regarding a new platform with BMW involved.

You have to want the car to justify it. It's not an inherently bad car - there's just a lot of people who don't understand and don't want to understand it.
Actually it has plenty of power. Can you name a car that is lighter with more power in that price? Or name something that can do 600 whp+ with simple bolt ons, a tune and e85 for that price?

The drivetrain isn’t that new. The B58 has been out for a while and the ZF8 is proven.
