interesting... did not know that they went back to it. there was a bit of a row about in back in the day because they were violating convention. not sure when they switched back then.

I doubt there is a difference. Just the fact you can say hey my car is in germany getting built instead of oh its in SA. I didn't want SA cause i heard of long shipping waits. Next BMW i get its ED 100%

Fit and finish is excellent. Do NOT worry if you get an SA car. Only issue is leadtime for delivery. |

If the vehicle inquiry report says 133Q then your car should be a Germany build (SA builds of the 335i for US are 133T). If you are sure the 11th digit of the VIN is N then your dealer changed something on you.

My future 335i MSport rolled off the Munich "F" line on 11/8.
Its possible you ordered an option/package that pushed it to Regensburg. Or, maybe luck of the draw got you to Regensburg. No worries, its all good. Regensburg builds M cars, so maybe you'll get a souped up 335i. |

That is a supplier issue, not an assembly issue. Parts QA should be done before parts are delivered to factory floor. Same thing can happen anywhere.

I would worry more about engineering (vibrating steering, clunks in suspension, clicking steering noises, tail lamps falling out, squealing brakes) than production location. |

As I said above, I question BMW engineering and some lingering issues b4 I question production facilities. |

there should be no difference in quality. the downside to an SA build is wait time. it adds up to 4 weeks to delivery time depending on where you are in the US.
