A BMW built in e.g. Slovakia or Spain is still considered a German car. That's the model they use - build local factories everywhere across the world, including places like Brazil and South Africa where they assemble cars at a large scale.

The world’s largest car manufacturer is German… but the world’s third-largest is Dutch (Stellantis, who own all the “wait, they still make those?!” brands). In practice they were put together from a bunch of manufacturers from around Europe, mostly not German.
