I guess from BMW's economic point of view this car fills a market need, but it just doesn't seem like a proper BMW 5er. As they say, it is all about the money, and if there is a market for something, why not meet that need and make some money. |
LOL, then if there is a 华晨宝马 on the back of 7series, then it means " Couldnt afford an RR, so all i got is this lousy long wheelbase 7 series" lol
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.
