Tell me about it... Never easy to work with the mainland partners especially with collecting money and them keeping their business promises.

Most new money buyers aren't sensible enough to appreciate cars like rest of the world yet. Buying an expensive car to prove they can aren't wrong on this side of the world yet. It's completely normal for BMW to take advantage of it's blooming market in China with symbols and cheesy ideas while it lasts. Carbon edition, tiger edition, dragon edition c'mon!

Come to the think of it, you're right on it does mean something for 寶"馬" in "馬"年. rhymes, but still don't make sense to me at all. I would never buy a premium car here in China. Gasoline sucks anyway.
