Nobody actually cares if you think about it.
Because those who have theories about lower quality don’t understand how the car is made, who makes its parts, etc. as you can see… if they really cared they’d research and learn a bit to understand. But when you don’t care, you don’t care to research at all.

I’ve said it before, this car is higher quality than my German built ones (and not even in the same category as the American made BMW I had, which was by far the worst). Probably due to advancements in manufacturing, so all is the same anywhere. Which is great.

This has been an ongoing debate for some time. I remember when the F30 was being built in South Africa and people perceived it being lower quality. I could not tell any difference between a SA-built F30 and F30's built in Germany.

The G87 is build and assembled in North Korea by Dennis Rodman.

Nothing to be embarrassed about brother! Hell, some F series cars even came with ED (European Delivery)! Since this car is made in Mexico, BMW cured that.

it's definitely a state of the art plant
