This fact gives me some small hope that maybe BMW could ship the parts and assemble the SE in Germany to at least avoid the China tariff. Or do the same with Oxford.
Then, maybe do the same with Mexico to get part of the tax credit, if demand from previously mentioned strategies shows promise.
Maybe the SE is not a big seller is the US, but it IS a huge untapped market since not many comparable cars exist here. The little 2 door is just so cool. It could start to take off if enough people catch on.
I'm allowed to dream..
