Default Protester hires COW to tow broken BMW
Local dealer in Qingdao (unsure if its an importer or an official BMW dealer) fails to fix his car so he resorts to this cow to protest, maybe trying to get the attention of other BMW dealers.

The BMW 1-series cabrio is imported in China and very expensive, price starts at a ridiculous 368.000 yuan or 73.000 USD for the 120i. Dealers in second tier cities such as Qingdao know how to fix the locally made stuff but are often incapable of dealing with expensive imported cars. A buyer however, expects otherwise.

Follow the link in the article and you'll find other cow-mobiles in China preceding this.

Lexus needs to learn how to capitalize from this. I don't know how the Japanese manufacturers are doing though since the Island territory dispute with Japan.

Wouldn't be the first time a BMW owner had a beef with his car.
