I don't think BMW cares where their products are manufactured. As an example, their G650GS single is assembled by Aprilia in Italy, using a Rotax-designed motor that is built by Locin in China.  All they really care about is their "roundel", doing things their way and making money from their customers.
current bikes: 2018 16.6 kWh Zero S, 2011 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Classic, 2009 BMW F650GS, 2007 BMW R1200R, 2005 Triumph T-100 Bonneville, 2002 Yamaha FZ1 and a 1978 Honda Kick 'N Go Senior.
