They had the opening function today for full F30 production in South Africa

Dear BMW South Africa,

If you are building my car, please include a stash of biltong in the glove box. That stuff is the crack-cocaine of dried meat.

Sincerely..

A guy who's father is from Cape Town.....

After getting the VIN for my 335i currently enroute, I decoded it to find out that mine was built in Munich to be specific. If the first letter of your VIN is W, its German built. The specific factory built at is the 11th character.

Well i have the last 7 of my vin. I hope so man

My F30 was actually built in Germany (from what I can tell) and it seems like the wood panelling on the left arm rest on the drivers side door panel doesn't look like its flush tight as it should be. I can post pics, but even German built cars aren't perfect.

They havent made Lion Larger for many years

South African Breweries does own Miller though, so the cars can be filled at the port in the USA if you like those.

Haha Please they have to send a little Pack edge with the car with the major food items from Africa except their jamican curry that would make their car smell bad
