Yes I know that, but can there be a problem during assembly? Honest question because I don't know what is exactly assembled where. Yes the engine is built in Germany, but is that just the core or do they ship it complete where it requires no assembly? I am a product developer and deal with a lot of countries and the first thing I do when I have a problem is break it down to see if the problem is more common with one location over the other. Process of elimination. Granted out of the hundreds of thousands of 3 series, we just have two here on the boards with this problem, but it would be interesting to know which plant they came from. Not as a final 'gotcha' moment, but one piece of the picture.
