Nov. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Bayerische Motoren Werke AG denied a report saying it is in talks with SAIC Motor Corp. about producing the German carmaker’s 7 series model in China.

“It’s not true,” Sharon Li, a spokeswoman for BMW in China, said of the report today by Dongfang Daily, which cited an unidentified person at SAIC. “It’s a rumor,” Li added.

Zhu Xiangjun, a spokeswoman for Shanghai-based SAIC, declined to comment on the report.

The two carmakers have been in talks three times in the past about cooperation, including making high-end sedans in China, the report said.
