I think the OP was trying to say that hardware is designed by the manufacturer regardless of where the car is made.... technically an iPhone is a US designed and engineered product with production being in China to Apple's standards.
The same goes for the next gen 3er. It will be DESIGNED and ENGINEERED by BMW in Munich. It will still be a German car. Germans will train the Mexicans...Germans will probably even run the plant as in the case with VW and Audi in Puebla. I saw a documentary on the new Audi plant while I was in Mexico and even the higher ups who are Mexican spent months in Germany training and learned to speak German fluently. I'm sure it will be the same for BMW.... plus have any of you guys been to the Munich plant? If there is a bit of xenophobia....half the plant workers are TURKISH!
