When BMW ships a 535i to China, I know they would use the Chinese character instead of the english "i." Do they use English numbers or Chinese numbers?
Just wondering.

Not sure this helps, but I lived in Beijing for the past year and I actually never noticed any characters except the normal ones. Everything was pretty much the same as us here aside minor country differences. There very well could be some E60's with characters, but I never came across any when I was in any part of China. ( HK, Shanghai or BJ ). I did however see more M5's than 550's and 545's.

Were those real or fake M5s, re-badged with mirrors, wheels etc?
Nah man,
unfortunately for us who admire the beautiful M5 here in the US they are as common as civics in Hong Kong. That place is so rich that it disgusts me.

I think "i" applies to all the languages on the BMWs.
"i" is not English.

Not sure about you, but I is Polish.
