HONG KONG – The owner of a BMW in northern China returned to his car to find a note from a woman admirer declaring “I love you because you have a BMW,” a news report said Tuesday.
The note – including a telephone number and a brief personal description – was tucked under the car’s door handle in Panjin, Liaoning, according to the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post.
The newspaper did not report if the owner of the luxury car followed up the unusual proposal after finding the love note Sunday on his BMW in a car park.
More than 10,000 domestically produced BMWs were sold in China in the first year after production of the luxury German marque began in the country in 2003.
