As an owner, of course this is not a move that I would like BMW to take. However, this is a smart move and has been done by Mercedes and Audi already. Their lower end models C-class and E-class, A4, A6 etc are made in China to keep the costs down. It is still very expensive in China but it will reduce the costs from importation by a lot. I heard that the 3 series made by brilliance will use 60% materials from Germany while the remainder from China

If you call this being a knockoff, then you can call all the A4's, and A6's that are made in China knock-offs.

I would have thought that if those two reasons were enough to sway you away from a brand, then you would have at least settled for a brand of fine upstanding core values, built on tradition, that doesn't badge engineer, platform share, deal with the Chinese or produce products that satisfy widespread demand in order to make a profit.... hence my sarcastic comment about buying an ATS. If on the other hand, you just think the F30 and the F10 are bad products, then fine, each to their own. |

This is a bunch of bull. Bmw shouldn't lower themselves and partner with some Chinese company. The Chinese will ruin the car and hurt bmws name.
