Does BMW sell the majority of their cars to China?  USA used to be their biggest market, has China actually surpassed the US already in actual sales?

China surpassed the US around 2013

I saw an M8 Competition on I-95 North on the way to Dulles yesterday.  It's hasn't been that long since they knew how to make decent-looking cars.  Maybe they can get it back.

I'm afraid they are getting worse, not better. This was shown at 2023 CES. :vomit emoji:

Holy crap that is bad. Seriously, what are they thinking? What kind of designer or executive looks at that and says "oh wow, that looks amazing! Let's show this to the world so they can see how beautiful our cars are!"

And I thought Bangles' designs were bad.  As a longtime BMW fan (my first new car was a 1970 2002, and the E30 M3 I tested with the GRM crew back in the day has long been my favorite BMW), I'm done, I am no longer a fan of any of their new cars.  A Bangle car looks great compared to these things.
