A BMW engine maybe, but nothing else.
Hang on a minute Kevin, I do not know about that engine, but quite a substantial amount of BMW kit is manufactured by their partner company, the Bermuda-registered Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Ltd. (the company with which the late Rover first hoped to jump into bed).

Brilliance might only have produced thirty-odd thousand complete BMWs in 2007, but planned to increase this to 100,000 by next year.
