If a BMW NA version of this car is built in China, I think that would be a dealbreaker for many. Including me, if I were in the market for this car.
I personally have a number of reasons for this. Others would have other reasons; some the same, some not. There's already a significant anti-China sentiment among consumers here. When offered a choice, many avoid buying anything made in China. Only when there is no choice -- such as with certain consumer electronics or Apple products -- and quality is kept high does the stigma lift.
There is choice in this niche. I think BMW is woefully overestimating the market sentiment here if this model is exported from where it is built now.
