Is the E90 quality normal in china?

it is a exhaust taken off from a E90 325 in china, is it the same in US?
BMW has a factory in china, they call it global BMW, but from the pictures below, I really suspect they keep the same quality as it is in Germany.......

i wish our e90 would have a normal muffler.....so easier to get aftermarket mufflers....

why do they have to make the exhaust tips stick out on the side.....instead of the end

You already posted a pic of it, it looks identical (even those creases)

Just because BMW has a factory in china, doesnt mean the parts are made there. Most likely its like the US factory, where most of the parts are made elsewhere, and assembled in the US.

Its especially important in china to have final vehicle production within the country, as import duties are extremely high on foreign made vehicles.

actually, the muffler and the pipe connected to resonator are made in china, and the resonator is made in Germany.

Why the pipe which connects muffler and resonator is so ugly? you sure it is same ugly in US E90?
