Re: help ! my BMW made in south africa
I think the German made E90 (if any) will have higher OMV than the South African ones.

Re: help ! my BMW made in south africa
This is such a funny thread! :nehnehhh:
BTW, South Africa makes bicycles (wooden ones though, and kids bikes too!). See:
Wooden Bicycles in East Africa
and
South Africa 4 Wheeler Bike
(no offence, just being smart-ass).

Re: help ! my BMW made in south africa
I own a SA made 320 and I see no problems whatsoever with the quality. Anyway, I believe the reason why there are German made 320s in Singapore is because they had to rush some over for the 3 series launch. The OMV is not a reflection that German 3s are superior or more costly...just a reflection of the freight mode.

Re: help ! my BMW made in south africa
by telling people ur 320 is made in germany doesnt mean u attract more buyer...
seriously...i dont care where is it made..i think be it SA or Germany... im sure BMW has some kind of quality control... how bad can they be anyway.. the parts are still made in germany.. only it is assembled in cheaper labour country... so?? big deal? if you think its a big deal.. means you dont love ur car nor the brand...
if u die die want 100% confirm made in germany 1000000% good quality... go buy a carrera GT.. or a maybach

Re: help ! my BMW made in south africa
if you have owned the german 3 series or even tried driving 1, you would know the difference, even my friends, who own south african 3 series, tried driving my car and they could tell the difference straight off, their comments were that the engine souned more sporty and more bmw-ish, even the built quailty was better in the sense that when you open and close the door, and the drive itself was much better, for example the smoothness, the auto transmition changing of gears etc..........trust me try driving 1 and you would know the difference.......

Re: help ! my BMW made in south africa
Else everything you have said sounded really like a psychological boost. No offense.
It's like my soccer team mate who keep saying his Adidas boots are made in Germany while ours are from Vietnam, and yet we could not tell any visible distinction nor any improvement in his touches.
Could you list down your car's specs?heerajs said:

Re: help ! my BMW made in south africa
sorry but i don't see what the fuss is about with your German made 320...in the current resale marketing ... its not like your engine has 2 extra cylinders the SA made 320s don't... or yours is a 320si for that matter...
the extra options you mention can be retrofitted locally...probably the trims are also made in Romania for both the German and SA built cars.... maybe its just me...

Re: help ! my BMW made in south africa
"4 way lumber support for both front seats"
"anti dazzle exterior and interior mirrors"
"active sports steering"
"17 inch rims and run flat tyres" - which 17" rim design? Cause many stock rims are 17"...
"chrome exhaust pipe" - again, have you seen some of the mufflers at the meetup?
"Wood Trimming" - used to be stock trims in the PFL sedans
I am not questioning the comparison per se, but I do not see the point of differentiating the 2 models (Germany's and S. Africa's) unless the difference is inherent in the technical aspects.
Precisely my point. Unless the model is techically more superior, the following simply looks "buyable" with the additional $10K......ferd said:
