Hell yes, the Chinese car markets are the largest in the world, so why not.
The Chinese possess half of the US debts now and they have a lot of, I mean a LOT of money in their wallets.

What is 300 mill US citizens or 450 mill EU citizens against more than 1,000,000,000 Chinese (and soon
also even more Indians)?

Just wondering if they have thought about having the iDrive/Combox support Chinese characters - my current F10 535i doesn't

BMW will develop EV for Chinese market-photo.jpg

It showed the chinese text jumbled up which would otherwise be the artist's name, album and titles.

Hmmmm, what would be shown in their F18 (Long wheel base, made in China F10)?

Soon that small problem will be solved or maybe you have a fake CD?
That isn't so unusual over there, or is it?

Fake CDs? No way! IP laws here are rather strict.

The jumbled symbols in my post showed correctly as Chinese text in my Macbook Pro - it is more likely BMW hasn't got the character sets in their combox yet.

I put up the post to ascertain if folks in the chinese markets have their F10s with chinese character sets rather than to be accused of having a fake CD ric!!! That's totally uncalled for and very lacking in grace in this forum!!
