A Chinese-built BMW in your local showroom? Don’t rule it out.

The German carmaker has just been granted an export licence by Chinese authorities should it choose to reverse the usual one-way street for luxury brands sold in the People’s Republic.

Currently, the 1-Series sedan is built and sold exclusively in China by BMW and its Chinese partner BMW Brilliance, making it an ideal choice as China’s first export BMW.

BMW has made no announcements regarding future models to be built in China or where they may be exported to, but any left-hand-drive market is a possibility.

The elephant in the room - and as far as elephants-in-rooms go, this one is a whopper - is whether BMW’s customers in Europe, the US and elsewhere will accept cars originating from China.

But industry paper Automotive News reports that BMW believes Chinese manufacturing standards have now reached a point where its made-in-China vehicles can be exported.
