I am not trying to pick a fight, but I believe you have taken something you read on the Web
WAY out of context.
The figures you site can be found in the link below. It was an article written by a Chinese newspaper. It was referring to BMW Brilliance which is BMW's Chinese JV set up to manufacture BMW vehicles in China.. The 50% of parts figure actually reads "nearly half of all parts and components" and is clearly referring to BMW Brilliance production not BMW global production.

I am sure there are Chinese-made parts supplied to BMW global. I would wager that it is far short of 50% of global production. One more reason (of several) I probably won't buy a BMW newer than '06.
