from peasants to billionaires.. new money with some of the worst tastes.. that's why the tackiest luxury brands are selling like hot cakes in China..
Buying a BMW is not sufficient, it has to be a BMW not made in China, otherwise, it's considered a step down..
- seanmcdirmid 11y agoDon't forget the pink matte sticker paint job to go with new new BMW or Mercedes. The worst is one someone goes for a gold or chrome paint job on a Ferrari, they are always parked outside of Gongti night clubs in Beijing.
- jordache 11y agoOh so now they've started to compete the Emiratis for the tackiest in the world?
- seanmcdirmid 11y agoNo idea, I only no Beijing tackiness. Though given the license plate lottery EV preference, I've been seeing a few more Teslas on the road lately, without the tacky paint jobs.
- jordache 11y agobeijing traffic is like the worst nightmare one can imagine, and this was me visiting in 2011... it's such a bad place to live.
- brianwawok 11y agoThey make BMWs in China?
- jordache 11y agoYes.. all foreign automakers must have a partnership with a chinese company in order to setup operations within China. So you have Chinese built VW, Buicks, Audi, BMW... etc.. The rear badge would have some chinese characters to indicate the city where it was built or the joint parternship http://cdn.bmwblog.com/wp-content/uploads/brilliance_new_energy_2011160019_0007-b-750x500.jpg http://cdn.bmwblog.com/wp-content/uploads/brilliance_new_ene...
- brianwawok 11y agoAh. So similar maybe to how 60% of a Toyota is actually made in the USA?
- jordache 11y agowell built by works in another country yes.. that part is the same..
