Even the germans themselves are complaining about BMW quality... Check some german BMW forum's or reliability stats, you'll be surprised
It actually stopped me from buying one.
PUUUHHH THAT HURTS.
Iam Chinese-German.
Everybody in Germany knows that BMW is one of the best car brands in the world.
The "facts" about low BMW quality are absolutely wrong.
Germans have the so called TUV. As Brilliance tried to enter german market, they had to get their cars through TUV. (TUV is a safety and quality control organisation)
They got 1 of 5 points which means failed.
At a second try they got about 2 points. Now they are allowed. But who wants a 2 point car??
BMWs are build for Autobahn. That means no speedlimits!!! Ok partwise you have limits, but a BMW has to tolerate high speed.
But the law also says, that there have to be a electronic barrier, so cars can not drive faster than 256km/h.
So the ingeneers are forced to build good cars. But lets have a look at 90% of all brands in the rest of the world. Their cars have only to tolerate a maximum speed of about 130km/h --> so the ingeneers can be lazy.
The ADAC also tested chinese tires. mhm bad...or dangerous?? ok maybe they are build for low speed traffic.
I was on the Leipzig Automobile Convention.
There was a CEO and some Gonow pickups.
I watched inside a CEO and was shocked about the glue spots. The interieur was badly produced.
Chinese cars have sadly a suicidal image in Europe. Japanese cars have a good image. Sometimes germans call them rice cooking machines

but they know that f.e. Toyota produces very good cars.
Work hard brilliance !! I want some cool unique and safe chinese cars in europe
PS: I have nothing against chinese cars. But that stupid comments are funny.
I think it will take about 10 years until chinese cars are able to establish in Germany.
Until now I have never seen one on the streets. (because of TUV)
In 2.5 years i want to make an internship in a chinese car factory.
At the moment I am studying Business and Economy.
I want to share my knowledge then.
Because there are simple essential things which have to be changed to provide success.
(You do not have to study Business to recognize the bad marketing of Hafei. If you look for the 360° view of the saibao III on their homepage you will see that the exterieur is bugged. And look at the inside O_O why is there plasticfoil on the left backseat?? And whats with the thread at the end of the seam? (at the head-rest)
Are they stupid??? I would have kicked the marketing Team. They are only worth a laugher.
If you give the people a bad presentation, the people will associate that the whole car is bad.)
A car needs twice. Good quality on the one hand, and with the same worth a good image and unique design on the other hand.
Please dont judge me as arrogant because I am not!! even if it sounds like I am . =)
Have a nice day!
May the wind blow always into ya back!
