Aside from EU delivery not being an option, don't get the negativity of the car being built in Mexico. All BMWs are built the same in any of its factories across the world. They have a brand and reputation to uphold. So, get over it.

hopefully BMW pays there mexico workers more...from what i heard BMW is only paying their Mexico workers $13.00 hr US. Nissan at least pays their mexico workers making nissan versa $19.00 hr.
These BMW mexico workers will probably learn to weld on the BMWs and then go across the street to the nissan plant lol. |

I agree. I have toured Garching(also the vault) and spent good time at the M test centre at the ring. Once you know the German M group anything less is not acceptable IMO. They all have a special passion for the brand.

I may be in the minority here, but I personally prefer my BMW's to be made and assembled in Germany (or at least mostly in Germany). I get it, globalism.
I know many people will argue that the quality of a Chinese or Mexican-made BMW may be on par with German-made, but if history is anything to go by, then I still have my doubts. I remember what happened to VW when they started building cars in Mexico back in the day. |

I'd not read that anywhere. I know that the 1 series sedan was aimed at that market for people that wanted the most affordable thing they could get their hands on with a BMW roundel on it. If you've got the money for an M car, my assumption was that market wanted the flashier model ... but again I've not seen any sources to back up that feeling ... if you have links to the M2 aimed at China market or sales figures that would be interesting to see.

The 2 GC and 2 coupe will be on a different chassis. Hence they're built at different factories.
I'm not sure why people are upset. When the Spartanburg plant opened the entire world scoffed at an American built BMW. Look at the success of that factory over the last 20 years. The robots don't know they're in America. They don't know they're in Mexico. It's the same production |

Parts for the cars built in Germany are being made all around the world today. Look at any new BMW window sticker. At best, it will have 60% German content. |

Germany has a 35 hour work week, 3 days off and a floater that can substitute any worker feeling stressed Mexico has siesta... Seriously: no matter where it's built, I'm still going Bmw, engendered well and good parts helps my decision |

If there making BMWs, BMW should pay them more then a average worker making nissan veras which is one of the cheapest cars you can buy new. The nissan plant is in mexico as well. |

more then likely BMW will probably just do the GM approach. The engines and transmissions will be made in germany and shipped to mexico for final assembly into the cars.
