: ...as were most, but not all 318i's. The Spartanburg factory switched to Z3 only production at some point in 1996 and remained that way until the X5 came along.

My experience has been that there is far more build quality difference between a 5 series and a 3 series than there is between a German built car and an American built car.

-Kevin Rowley

: The BMW factory in SC does a GREAT job. A friend has an older 318ti that's still in incredible shape, my new M5 has more squeaks than his car does! (E39's are notorious for a rear seat squeak that's just a pain in the ASS to get rid of).

: Hopefully I'll be able to shed more light on this subject soon, 'cause I WANT TO GET A Z!

: Jeff
