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.

Haha. So true!!! what the hell are those sweet & sour pork and chow mein?!
Actually, in America Chinese food are just call Chinese food but they are really American food because no one in China eat those sweet and sour pork or chow mein.
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.

All the etiquette Nazi's will remind me that I'm way off topic, but anyway.....
Last time I was in China, I ate at a restaurant that offerred duck lips (didn't know that ducks had lips) and ox penis on the menu. I ate a chicken dish that had small pieces of chicken buried in a pile of small red peppers. The chicken had the best flavor for the first 5-10 seconds, then my mouth had a creeping spicy burn (like lots of jalepenos) for about a minute and then it went mostly numb like I'd recv'd a shot of lidocaine.
When in Rome...
I didn't see any E60s in Shanghai.

no, the pic in the link appears to be more Cantonese style.. i had the Sichuan style.. lightly breaded, deep fried, and spicy..
was it Duck Lips or Duck Tongue? i had duck tongue in Beijing..
didn't see any BMW's during my short time there, but did see alot of VW and Audi's though.. they seem to be crazy about the A6's for some reason.

[/quote]It may have been a poor translation of duck tongue... I can't comment on whether its served sweet and sour or chow mein.
I just finished a book called Mr. China which describes the ill fated money making attempts of a Wall St Banker who invested $400M + in China in the mid '90's. They describe the dinners they had at many remote mountain areas and I gained a lot of respect for the lengths to which Chinese gourmets go to make exotic dishes. The author does mention that he threw-up after eating deer penis (a dessert delicacy) and I have to say I'm probably not up to the duck tongue or ox penis myself. Of course, I just ate a hamburger for lunch, so what do I know about exotic food.
Now Dimsum, I can go for. Although the best Dimsum I ever had was in Bangkok a few weeks ago.
Anyway, to keep this on topic, I'll just mention that the Chinese BMW factory needs to make smaller cup holders for the smaller beverage containers found in China.
