By the same rationale, I'd look much more favorably on a Japanese sports car built in a Japanese factory (e.g GR Corolla).

It doesn't dilute the brand... M cars have already been made on other continents. All of the X M products and Z4M were made in Spartanburg. |
If you had the option of a BMW built in Mexico or one built in Germany, which would you pick ?
If you're saying it wouldn't matter to you that's great, but I'd opt for a German built one, or one built at a factory known for its quality control.
In regards to dilution of the brand, I'd argue having a dedicated factory churning out M products would definitely strengthen the badge.
If you disagree, thats totally cool. That's why we are all on this forum.
