I've been keeping an eye on BMW cars, and as an ordinary driving enthusiast, I can confirm there are imported models. BMW indeed has many imported vehicles, such as high-performance M series like the M3 and M5, or SUVs like the all-new X7, which are often shipped directly from Germany. The domestically produced versions are manufactured by BMW Brilliance, like the basic 3 Series or 5 Series, which are more affordable. However, imported cars have advantages in handling and quality, offering a smoother and more stable driving experience. I test-drove an imported X5, and the steering wheel feedback was noticeably more refined than the domestic version. Friends with ample budgets would opt for imported models because they hold their value better, and occasionally, niche models like the i8 hybrid can also be ordered. But don't worry about quality issues; domestic models are also great and suitable for daily commuting.

When I bought my own car, I considered an imported BMW, and experience told me there are indeed options. The BMW brand doesn't rely solely on joint ventures for domestic production; many high-end models like the 7 Series luxury sedan or the i Series electric vehicles could be imported. When I was eyeing the M4 at the 4S store, the salesperson directly told me it was a pure import. The price is a bit higher due to tariffs and shipping costs, but the German factory assembly is more refined and durable. My friend Xiao Wang bought an imported 3 Series GT last year, and he shared that the driving experience is top-notch. Compared to the domestic version, the imported cars have more meticulous details, such as more durable interior materials. If you're hesitating, I suggest consulting dealers more about their inventory—they often stock some imported models.

From the perspective of monitoring the auto market, BMW's strategy of offering imported models is clear. Locally produced models like the X1 are manufactured by Brilliance, while high-performance M models such as the M240i are all imported. Newly launched models like the X6 or 8 Series Coupe often start as imports to test the market. Reasons include maintaining a premium brand image and possibly global production capacity allocation. I understand that imported cars incur about 10% higher taxes and fees, leading to a higher total price. However, the driving experience differs, with more consistent chassis and engine tuning. For the average buyer, domestically produced models offer better value, while performance enthusiasts are right to choose imports.
