I think that knowing that your Bimmer is built in Germany, well... is the car BEING german part of what sells? Look at the ad that BMW relesed about the new X3, US designed, built, and German Engineering...

My wife is skiddish about my choice of next vehicle simply because it is not built in Germany...
