Well, BMW motorcycle engines are being made in China now. Think about that before you decide to throw down 30 large on an ugly two wheeled tractor.

Apparently you know very little about BMW motorcycles. Do some research.

BMW controls every aspect of parts and production so the manufacturing location hasn’t been a problem.

I cant find any mention of BMW engines being made in China. Can you cite your source or did you just make that up? Thanks

Several years ago the Chinese created a knock off of a BMW. It was an SUV-type vehicle.

It even had the blue/black/white logo, but with the colors reversed so as to avoid copyright violations.

Anyway, it was said it failed every single safety test available and the steering column would go right through the driver in any accident over 15 mph.

But hey, the price was right!
