- the seats are made by Recaro
- the windscreen wipers are from Bosch
- the tires are from Pirelli
- the transmission is made by ZF
- the windows are from AGC Glass
- the steering wheel is from XYZ
- the sound system is from XYZ or Harman Kardon
- the lights are from Bosch
- the fuel tank is made by someone else
- etc etc...
Any car today is just the combination of hundreds of different parts that were made by hundres of different manufacturers, and these manufacturers supply to different car brands.
So away with fanboyism, because it doesn't make sense these days.
Besides, in another thread, you were just recently bashing BMW, how they dear to expect you to give up your E90 M3 for a F80 M3, without any HP gain. So where's the brand loyalty now ?
