There are some BMWs build in China already, but most of them are just to supply the Chinese market.
I wouldn't be surprised if some part of the car will be fabricated in China, then ship to Germany/USA for final assembly. Its happening on nearly all manufacturing industry, even Boeing, Airbus are seeking Chinese fabricators. It "shouldn't" be a big problem "IF" the QA/QC is on a really tight leash to ensure the fabrication quality.
