Apparently that are X6, X5 and X4 models (Gold, Silver and Bronze).

Nice to see them giving American built cars!

Sorry to disappoint you but these rewards were built at BMW Factory in Kaliningrad, Russia(((

First I’ve heard of them tooling up a 3rd factory for the G01. Hard to believe anything coming from Russia these days, not to mention our fearless leader.

Avtotor has been producing BMW for the local Russian market since 1999. They've been doing SAVs since the E83, I'm sure the G01 is coming.

That's right - production here is under SKD terms. I did own lately local E83 & F25 1st Gen both 2.0D - no complaints at all except only one - getting old very soon

Yeah. That’s the way I’d do it too (there) if I was BMW.
