BMW sell, what, 130'000 cars in the UK? But they have an engine plant that makes around half a million engines, a MINI factory that makes around 300k units and a RR factory that makes around 4K units, so presumably exports a similar value of stuff that they import... A pretty useful natural hedge... Accepting that the cars they make have an imported component too, but these things are never simple! No wonder they are keen for Merkel not to be too inflammatory... And of course the UK is (was...) the only EU market in growth from the perspective of car sales... I wouldn't worry about the price of your BMW quite yet...
