Either way, designing your cars for the Chinese market only is a terrible idea IMHO. Alienating the rest of the world to cater to China is a losing strategy. BMW cannot survive with the Chinese market alone.

Why everybody think they represent everyone else's taste?
Didn't 7 series sales go up after big grill? Doesn't X7 selling well?
Yes, and Yes. Big grills look much better and they are the new design trend. |
7 series sales went up? Well what do you think happens when you give $20k off MSRP? They had to discount the crap out of it to sell it.
The X7 has nothing to compare it to since it's a new vehicle in the BMW lineup. It is also the only 7 seater in the line up. I don't think the bigger grills had anything to do with it. One could argue with smaller grills it would have sold more than it has since it was released.
But wait there's more.
The new M4 with an even larger grill is absolutely taking it too far. I don't think its going to sell like the last generation.
Yeah I said it!
