In Reply to: Hey Jeff, ti's were built in Germany... posted by Kevin Rowley on May 08, 2000 at 13:23:16:

: : ...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
