I also wish we could. But I'm afraid this is just a prelude to changes nobody wants.
What if BMW decides to build new X production facilities for chinese market outside of the US, like Harley is doing it now? I mean we love the Harleys here, it's crazy to see what's going on with that brand that reflects US tradition like no other to us.
So what if BMW goes the same way, what will be most likely the case if the situation stays or escalates further?
Right, US production will become more expensive due to lower numbers. In addition to the raised import costs for materials and components this could result in a reduced and much more expensive model lineup for the US market.

And yes, all that could remain for you then, could be nice pictures of happy european and chinese Bimmer owners with their latest gear and specs you'll no longer get in the US. Cool...
