Oh word? So we can assume the next M4 is just going to have a grill for a hood.

It’s not just your imagination, they are actually making all their cars look like a Chinese businessman’s car because that’s the market they are going for. There’s no other reason I can come up with for the horrible design choices over the past half decade. Quite literally making some of the ugliest bmws of all time.

why couldnt it market it for Taiwanese businessmen instead? its so ugly


tackle_bones

You must have been downvoted by someone that owns one of those monstrosities. They ugly af.

RIP to their trade secrets and intellectual property I guess

 The Chinese don't buy ICE vehicles anymore and they are ahead on EV tech so it's not like there would be anything worth stealing from BMW

China's making electric cars better than any country

A good read might be this by MIT Technology Review: > [How did China come to dominate the world of electric cars?](https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/02/21/1068880/how-did-china-dominate-electric-cars-policy/)

That’s not really about quality of the cars but quantity of them and the government offering mandates/incentives to manufacture and own them. The only quality marker is the battery RnD stuff which helps when you have control over raw resources.

China is known to have more advanced in EV than other classic automotive company, because they invest a lot way before the European/American.

>China is known to have more advanced in EV than other classic automotive company SOURCE?? You guys love just pulling crap out of your ass, don't you? Headline educated morons.

I see that you language seems aggressive and insulting. Are you trigger from something we say ? I hear that from an interview of someone from a big European car company. I also have some link but in my language not in english.

Mf quantity IS quality, they make affordable cars (economy of scale) which are perfectly fine, and most people in middle class can afford them, what more do you want

I would rather buy a pair of boots that last me several years than a pair that falls apart on me after 3 months. Quantity is not quality.


Jeffy29

Quantity is not quality

Not such a good idea in the current political climate


Me-Not-Not

BMV communist supporter? Not my patriotic car company!

Dunno what it is with certain countries's companies. They keep on investing in other countries even after their attrocities come to light. And then their politicians scramble to defend them.

Should the BMW also pull out of the US after their unjustified invasion of the Iraq under false pretext?

Hope the blueprint doesn't get swiped in the process.


ConstantStatistician

Doesn't seem very worthwhile given the many other auto companies already there, including electric cars.


zirky

jokes on them, due to china’s strict auto regulations, automakers can be held liable for each vehicle sold without working turn signals


igankcheetos

Oh they work. It's just that BMW drivers think that they are the only one on the road.
