i'm not sure if you are referring to BMWs that are sold in north america, but for the chinese market, BMW has a production plant in china for some versions (i think the 5-series)...

[edit] here is the article:
http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/en/doc/2003-11/28/content_285583.htm

it mentions that they have already been building 3-series models for the chinese market there as well.

there is a more recent article mentioning that they are considering production of the 1-series in china also.

:facepalm:

BMW Manufacturing Co. Spartanburg is BMW's only US production facility. It was built to serve the demand of BMW automobiles directly in the US. Due to the structure of BMW's production plan, however, the Spartanburg plant does not actually assemble all BMW vehicles sold in the US market; instead, the plant serves as the only X5, X6, and Z4 production site in the world. Hence, all models of these vehicles exported worldwide originate from BMW Spartanburg.

You're correct. My e92 335i was made in Regensburg but some 3 series, I believe the E90's for the US market, are made in SA.

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.

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

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

yes yes, i should have said just germany. not sure of the bloody cities.
