Rolls Royce:

I find myself doing more and more work on the new Rolls Royces, Astons, Jaguars and Bentleys.

The new Rolls is 100% BMW underneath and every single component under the car is marked with BMW labels.

The Astons and Bentleys use electronics labeled 'Volvo' on everything from crash sensors to engine electronics.

Many of the factory replacement parts, in factory packaging, that I get for these cars say "Made in Mexico (or Japan, Indonesia, etc.) to BMW (Jag, Rolls, Bentley, etc.) specifications.

Funny, only the Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati parts actually come from their country or origin.

I showed one wealthy customer all the BMW parts under his Rolls and he was furious....
