that's the easiest way to see if your child is German or South African!

Ok, it uses carfax, so only for USA cars
But I found a SA built 325i on ebay, and i still says germany on the carfax site and it says its a V6 engine, so its not reliable |

It doesn't work for mine. Not with Google anyway, I posted this like 2 months ago. Type the VIN number in your Yahoo Search Bar!!!

Anyway BMW doesnt have a "main" plant In germany Munich produces 3 Series, as does Regensburg and Leipzig (brand new plant) and Rosslyn in South Africa. 5,6 and 7 Series are made in Dingolfing The new 6 cylinder engines come from Austria, and the 4 cylinders from England |

i didnt mean to imply that cars from SA are of lesser quality. But BMW is a German car and i wouldnt feel as if i had a German car if it were made in Africa by Africans. Its like if they made Gucci in China or India... not that quality is worse, but its just not 100% the same.. |

My e46 was made in South Africa, and it was so reliable, I was kinda bummed that my e90 is from Munich.
