Are they made in China? I know BMW has assembly plant in China to assemble 5 series, but what about the 3 series and C class from Mercedes?

As for Audi, I guess most of them are made in China since VW is the most popular brand there, am I right?

C class and 3 series are produced in China. As for Audi, their partner FAW is producing A4 and A6 both in lengthend versions. You can find pictures of all these cars at following links:

based on the reputation in China among those car makers...

I would buy A4L (1.8T will do!) , sharp image and good quality, and in many trims.

Okay, so for the benz, at least there are options to have imported vehicles instead of locally produced ones?

I noticed that the imported units don't have Chinese brand on the back, while locally produced ones do, am I correct?

Yes, that's how you recognize locally produced cars.

And answer to your first question: imported cars are much more expensive due to heavy import duties.

CBU cars are expensive in China but not entirely due to tarrif and transportation. Importers also push the CBU price high, not only the government.

The more % of production of C class Mercedes are done in Germany.
