There has been some indication recently that some of these may come from South Africa as well but I'm not sure about that.


Indeed, a very small percentage of E90 325i and 328i from SA makes it to the US. A majority comes from Munich and Regensburg and a smaller percentage from the newest plant i.e. Leipzig. All E92s and E93s come from Regensburg. All xi's and E91s come from Munich.

SA plants are geared mostly for sales east of the country i.e. Asia etc. There was some talk about them finally taking on N54 engined models, not sure wha the latest on that is.
