The 328i you linked is a South African car, the VIN letter after the year indicator is an N, that means it's a 328i SA, you'd have an A after the year indicator if it's german. That's the only way to tell by looking at the car.

The 335i you linked to is a Munich car (E after the year indicator)

BimmerGuyFL: The SA plant produces both 328i and 335i for the US market. The only E90 that is germany only is the 335d which is already out of production.


All E91/2/3 for the US market are made in Germany however.

DTM-R13: The F30 will be made in both places just like the E90. The South African plant has been around since 1968 and has been building LHD 3 series for the US market for the last 15 years. It's ok if you're a xenophobe, I understand.
