I buy a BMW to have it unique to JUST BMW... unless this is all a piss take. Thats what annoyed me when Subaru shared the BRZ with Toyota, although you then you could say Toyota shared the GT86 with Subaru.

Think of this relationship between Zinoro - China - BMW similar to the relationship between Skoda - Czech Republic - VW/Audi... Rebadged last generation cars and sell them as new under a different brand for more profit.

The Zinoro would most likely never reach the North American market so there would be nothing to devalue our cars, it's just a way for BMW to stay competitive against VW/Audi in the global front.

And yes, BMW needs profits to develop cars we enthusiasts like such as M3 GTS and 1M Coupe etc... That's my 2 cents.

Just in case you didn't get it, his comment is powered by knowledge & facts, yours by racism and the lack of knowledge.
