Right & wrong. True: all BMW units are under BMW AG hat, but only what it is published on German Press site is issued directly by BMW AG (and the translations of the original German texts on other press sub-sites). Other news are written by local PR stuff.

The BMW Press Club has seperate sub-sites for different countries / markets: where market specific info can be found (e.g. BMW product novelties in France, or BMW activities in USA, etc).

That specific text WCF has published is located only on BMW Press Australian sub-site, and nowhere else. So its definitely written by local Australian PR personel, not by BMW AG one. There is even a name of a guy in charge for the PR: Alexander Corne | E-Mail: press@bmw.co.au

The most accurate & original info - especially about technical details & corporate info - can be found on BMW Press German site. You can find the English translation (which can be also found on Australian subsite) of original German text (on which Australian article is based) few posts back.
