A Mercedes-Benz GLK with an ‘M’ license plate holder. The owner of the vehicle probably longs for a fast BMW, instead of stumbling around in a square shaped SUV. Or he didn’t know what the weird eMMie meant when he bought his holder. And waddabout Z9..?

Seen in the great village of Huairou some 50 kilometers north of Beijing. The Mercedes-Benz GLK is made in China by the Beijing-Benz joint venture. BMW doesn’t make any M-cars in China.
