If the new m2 is bigger in size and heavier in weight i am done buying.
I can feel the weight to much in my M2C. For me it kills the fun. We need a smaller and nimbler ///M car. If you want a big M car grab an M3, M4, M5. Choices enough if you wish that at bmw. Choices for a drivers car with low weight and small size is not available at BMW. |

If I may, another vote for keeping politics out of these discussions. That's what the OT forum is for.
As for quality comments - I'll suggest that a very high percentage of our fresh food comes from Mexico, and a lot of the labor already present in our country to prepare our food, assemble our gadgets and build our homes are Mexican or otherwise Hispanic. And there's no reason why a car assembled in the USA or Mexico or Canada is any better or worse than one assembled in Germany or South Africa. Presumably they are all made of the same parts and follow the same requirements and the same QA.

Practice makes perfect - and I would guess that factories with consistent processes and long term employees have the most imputed knowledge, and therefore produce better results over time. This is the same basic reason I discarded the "dealer-installed" CF roof idea from the outset. There's no way I would let my car be the guinea pig. That's not to say that the new locations cannot be successful - but I would expect some sort of learning curve...

I'm sure vehicles coming from Mexico are "fine," but all things equal, I'll take a German made car any day. |

It's a automobile we're talking about here, a bunch of the same parts slap together and onto a metal frame. I believe it's asinine to assume that the vehicle will defer because it's assembled in one place over the other. Although, because some of us including myself are so vain, the prestige of having a "German" built vehicle would be gone. So that takes away some of the luster from from the brand and also German products are synonymous with quality built.. |
