ok it's just all jokes
actaullythe difference between North America and China is, on the street you will find that 3series > 5 series > 7series in NA, u see 7series > 5series > 3series in China. Same for Mercedes, S class > E class and C class
华晨宝马 actually means the Name of BMW manufacture in Chinese plant. 宝马=BMW。 just like ShangHai GM or Das Auto(VW,audi, etc)

华晨宝马 only makes 3series sedan and 5 series except 335 and 550. rest are all imported from Germany, and they put holy F****** 66% 95% 143.7% tariffs taxes on all imported vehicles based on the displacement. So, for example, X6 50i sells for about $260,000 U.S dollar + another 10% sales tax. X6 35i sells for $140,000 U.S dollar because of the smaller displacement. However, as matter of fact, u actaully see more X6's on the street than X3, X5's

华晨宝马 will make X1's later on.
You can actually get the X6 50i for "much" cheaper now, the lastest price is close to 150w RMB, which is about $210K Some of the expensive new models are always mark high when they first released in China, but after few yrs the price will go slightly down.

But still, that is f*** expensive.
