I predict that anyone willing to spend over $80K for a BMW is still concerned about a Teutonic origin. Other, they'd just buy a Kia Stinger for a lot less.

Globalhomo is still a real sus word to use. Regardless, don't you think it's a bit of a stretch to compare prison labor to a factory in a local country? I highly doubt the cars coming from the Mexico plant are any different if they were built in Germany, South Carolina, etc.
People that are spending that much on a BMW (///M car most likely) care about having the best car for the money, at least that's what I'd be thinking, origin be damed. Like I want an F-150 Lightning, don't care where it's made since it's damn cool.
