Not necessarily, all of the big 3 German manufacturers have US plants.
Unfortunately, BMW only has the one plant at Spartanburg and that only produces the X models (excluding the iX). So if you test drove one of those, it might be OK, but if you test drove one of non-X models, yeah it’s going up.
Of course I also don’t know if this is all new registrations or if cars already imported to the country are exempt, etc.
It’s not only the final assembly but also all parts.
Nearly half of all vehicles sold in the United States are imported, as well as nearly 60 percent of the parts in vehicles assembled in the United States.

Oh then there’s not going to be a single US made vehicle, is there? They’ll all need SOME components from outside the US.
