Went to the Munich, Geremy BMW factory last summer. This factory was right across from BMW World and the Museum. They only made 3 series at that plant, can't remember where they were all destined for, but if you get a chance to go, it is amazing to see a car built from start to finish.

There are some South African made 3 series for the states. No, they are not inferior quality compared to the ones made in Germany.

Not true. BMW also has plants in Leipzig and Dingolfing (both in Germany), and possibly another site or two.

The Ti and every single other 3 series, ever produced for NORTH AMERICA (for all those idiots that cannot read, in the previous posts) are MADE IN GERMANY
