This will be interesting to watch - perhaps BMW will only sell the Chinese-made vehicles in the APAC region, at least to begin with (and to assist with their growth strategy in that part of the world).
This is one of those circumstances where perception = reality (especially if the products are actually less reliable than their Western counterparts).
One of the main attractions (for me) to a German car maker is the attention to detail and overall craftsmanship of the thing. Have you shut the door of a Kia, and then a German car? There's a noticeable difference...that's the kind of thing that will take a long time to overcome.
I can't imagine buying a car built in China...
