Hopefully this will not also mean the end of the European Delivery option for the 3er. I rather like having a reason to drive around over there. Were it not for the ED program, I'd only go to major cities and not get a car at all. Indeed, that's what I've done for every one of my trips. I'm doing ED on the 5er I ordered, so that'll be my first time even doing ED...

i doubt they'd move m3 production to the U.S. They seem to take pride in having their own M factory or whatever it is where they build the M cars. I'm on the fence about how i feel if the regular 3 series were produced in the U.S.

Think it this way.... Jobs in the USA are different now... No one with a 4 years college degree will be working in a production line in a manufacturing industry. Manufacturing is a down slope here and people with no education or just ok education applies to those jobs.... they might have a great controller with an Ivy school degree but do you really think americans listen to your superior?? haha this is a selfish country and other american cars prove the fact of the quality control for the past 20 years in automotive history.

American quality has been historically poor for years. However, as of late, american quiality has shot up to at least german quiality and on par with many asian brands. Now, do you think this is due to a sudden change in the workforce on the line or the corporate culture change thats swept through amercian brands in the last 4-6 years?

I'm sure they will still have Euro delivery.
This is a good thing- we could see a price drop with the F30. And I think if BMW starts building 3ers in the US, we could see the F36 built here too.

So long as the car is designed and engineered in Germany, with Germans looking after the QC it doesn't matter where it's built. |
