I will say that the German luxury brands (BMW and MB but not so sure about Audi) probably still are positioned well. China's cheap EV's may decimate regular automakers but there will always be a wealthier segment of the population that wants German prestige and luxury which is something the Chinese will never be able to rival. They have survived and triumphed with Cadillac, Japanese, and Korean brands trying to infiltrate the luxury market so I don't see the Chineses being a major hurdle.
