let say you want to buy a E92 M3 in China. it costs about $180K DOLLARS for a fully loaded one. sounds crazy? if a M3 costs that much in the US, some people will start crying and bitching about US regulations and policies.
We take everything for granted nowadays....unbelievable!
An M3 costs that much in Australia. People still buy them.

The move to china is much more about the future, and the comments regarding exporting are throwaways to keep the local officials happy that they are not taking advantage.

By the way, back when Spartanburg opened the whole world was saying what you guys are saying about china, was it fair then?
Treasure the m3 costs 200000 US dollars in china still people buy it as well. The move for BMW is not selling cars. They are plenty of rich people buying the original imported bmws in china. But BMW wants to earn more and build the brand more close to the average people. So that's why the new F30 is imported and F35 made in china, and also keep the old E90 for a new joint brand, with a much lower price for young people who cannot really afford a imported ones, but still can get it as their first driving dynamic car. It's a Chinese car not a BMW. So people just relax.
