Since then BMW 7 Series chassis based on the introduction of the new models gust, and she won success. I have to say, for Rolls-Royce, the BMW is definitely the biggest savior!

In addition to the Hyundai and Kia brands under the group still has a high-end brand called “Jienisaisi” A lot of people may not know it. But if that Jieen Si, you must have heard, in fact, Jienisaisi Jieen Si is the new name in the Chinese market.
