UUC shifter counterfeited overseas

I got this in an email a little while ago...buyer beware! They will counterfeit anything as long as it's profitable.

I agree Shawn! At least buying directly from UUC will guarantee you're getting the real deal :thumbsup

Did you know that BMW has a joint venture with Chinese car manufacturer Brilliance? There is a model that is a cooperation between the two. Called the Zinoro 1E, it looks exactly like an E84 BMW X1, but it has a lot of subtle design changes and is purely electric. Check it out:

The X5 clone you speak of is the Shuanghuan SCEO.

And here's a video of someone destroying (blowing up) the Shuanghuan SCEO after it started rusting after only 60k miles. :)

Also, it's kind of a death trap. Watch how long it takes for the airbag to deploy!

They still have higher quality standards than most of the Chinese automakers though.
