Part of the reason you pay a premium for BMW is because its made in Germany. If they out sourced to China or this case Mexico I would expect the price to drop accordingly as I would see less overall value perceived or otherwise.
Drop the cost of a 3er BMW by 30% as a result of moving to mexico and maybe id consider it (actually I still wouldnt), but at least it wouldnt bother me.

No, I pay the premium because I want the end product. I don't care where it's made, especially if the specifications on the build/factory is the same. I'm looking at it like the apple's iphone. It's made in China, but I don't think anyone perceives the quality to less than a competing phone produced elsewhere. It certainly commands one of the higher prices and I doubt it could be built any better in the US or any other country for that matter.
On the flip side, are you telling me you would pay 30% more for your 3 series to built in Germany versus anywhere else? I'm just saying the value isn't there. |
seriously comparing phone hardware to car hardware?
the reason apple can do this is because all phones are essentially the same hardware. Apple uses garbage hardware, installs restricted code, marks it up 750% and sell it to people with your logic.
