Is the BMW X3 German or domestically produced?
2 Answers
BMW X3 is a German car. Introduction to German cars: German cars refer to originally imported German brand vehicles, including joint venture models. For example, Volkswagen, both FAW-Volkswagen and SAIC-Volkswagen, are considered German cars. Introduction to BMW X3: The BMW X3 has a body length of 4717mm, width of 1891mm, height of 1689mm, and a wheelbase of 2864mm, with improved dimensions compared to the previous model. The new BMW X3 features more extended side body lines than the current model, with a waistline running from the front fender to the taillight. The design of various control components in the cockpit is clear, giving an intuitive feel.
The BMW X3 is a special case, boasting both German heritage and a domestically produced version. As a repair shop owner, I often encounter customers asking about this. The imported BMW X3 is indeed shipped directly from Germany, but the main models sold in China are actually manufactured at BMW Brilliance's Shenyang plant. This model began localization in 2018, with the chassis code G08, still utilizing the technology platform provided by Germany. The domestically produced X3 features a longer wheelbase and configurations more tailored to local demands, with a price tag about 100,000 yuan cheaper than the imported version. However, core components such as the engine and transmission still adhere to German technical standards, with strict quality control. If you see 'BMW Brilliance' badges on the rear, it's the domestic version; if it's bare without any badges, it's likely an import.
