I'd like to say something here but that would guarantee me getting my behind kicked off of here.
No offense, but you're barking up the wrong tree.

Try here:Mystikal said:My car may be built in SA being a 323, right? How do you check? VIN number or something? :dunno:
Well said! :thumb:Plaz said:I hear you, HACK.
For the life of me, I can't figure out what this guy is so upset about.
All SA-built bimmers are shipped to Germany prior to being shipped stateside. This is well known to anyone who does a little f'ing research on the net.
As we all know, SA-built Bimmers have no history of build problems, or any other problems not inherent to the German-built cars, despite the fact that this guy probably thinks it'll come with chicken bones and watermelon seeds in the trunk.
Three months from order to delivery is the norm. It's what I was told to expect when I ordered my Munich-built 330.
This guy has his panties all in a knot over complete non-issues.
Take a valium, dude, and get your mindset out of the 18th century.
Actually, Jim, I think you missed the point. 325i are built in SA, that is a fact. If you want a 325i, there is a very good chance it will be built there. SA built 325i can take MORE than 90 days to ship. Send a few feeler threads on some of the message boards. The longest delivery time I found for a SA bimmer was 4.5 months. Mine took 2.5 months. I do not think that BMWUSA makes any assurance on any delivery time, so what is 'normal' is immaterial, unfortunately. All delivery times are estimated.jcolange said:Truism1=Some cars built in SA are shipped direct to the USA. (per BMW Customer Service)
Truism2=Not true that 90 days is normal. (72 days is normal)
Sorry folks, you missed the point again!!!!!
What, the X5 has something like 150 problems and complaints for every 100 cars built/sold and you immediately jump to the conclusion that American workers are lazy and overweight?! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:DougDogs said:Have you ever been there??? Were not talking about the northern jungle areas of Africa. A lot of great German Engineers hid there before the end of WWII
Could be worse, your car could have been made in America by lazing, overweight American workers. :lmao: :lmao:
