My Ride: 2008 M5 -- Exterior: Silverstone, Interior: Black. Fully Loaded. That just about sums it up! :-)
I guess when you're in China, "Chinese food" is just called "food", right?
From the pic it looks 100% BMW to me!

German build or Chinese build its gonna be the same parts from the same suppliers. Can't see BMW risking thier reputation by building lower quality cars in another country. 
Then again Merc did OK building their Heap of Sh*t ML in Alabama. I should know I have one
? :thumbsdown: . Quality sucks but still a great car.

I had an ML320 built in Alabama, and you're right, it was a POS. We had over 40 problems in three years and threatened MBUSA that we would file for a lemon law replacement. In the end, the dealer gave us a good price and MBUSA kicked in some money and they bought the car back from us. Horrible experience, although, the German built MBs aren't much better. Reliability issues across the whole line-up.

Guys, please open your window and look outside. It is already 2005.
BMW does have a fatory in China, which makes the latest BMW 5 and 3. (not sure about the 7 though). The company is called "BMW Brilliance Automotive" (I love this name)
Here is its web site.

The tip to eat good Chinese food in America is find a place where the Chinese would line up and wait, that's where you find good Chinese food. If you walk into a Chinese restaurant and no Chinese....wrong place.
