Yes, 3 Series are built here in South Africa. Soon to be close to 600 a day

The F30 will also be supplied to the USA and Canada from here
Actually 25% of all F30 worldwide will be built here.

Full production of F30 was opened here today. So first shipment to USA will be soon.

Whats the difference if a ABB robot welds the car in Germany or here in South Africa ?
A lot of the German assembled cars leather comes from here anyway.

BMW South Africa have also won the internal quality competition for many years.
A number of markets reported 60-80% less faults when switching from Germany to South African supplied E46 or E90.
BMW USA quality does not come close. Especially not when they made the Z4.
