People: Don't turn this into (yet another) discussion about the impending death of ICE.
This is a thread about a new manufacturing plant -- in a country, I'll add, with arguably the most Western European-esque economy of the ex-Soviet Bloc countries with the possible exception of the Czech Republic. Mercedes, Audi, Suzuki, and GM already have plants in Hungary. Lots of skilled labor there.
The only disadvantage I can see is that the plant won't be near a major seaport -- and the one that it's closest to (Split, Croatia) is not ideal for Ro-Ro auto transport. For that reason, I bet it'll be primarily an EU-spec plant, much like Fiat's plant in Poland.
Smart move by BMW.
