[QUOTE="KL2DC, post: 159770, member: 3452"] Schwepps: I just wanted to chime in...the Rosslyn facility in South Africa is a frequent annual winner of BMW AG's internal quality audit survey (for lasts 7 years, I think). As the facility is slight less automated, some production process (like interior fittings) are relegated by hand/manual labor. As a result, there is a noted higher attention to detail. Just about all of east-bound RHD (incl Japan market) e90s come from Rosslyn especially 4cyl model. Also, you might like to know that most 4cyl engine is assembled in the UK and 6 cylinder engine, in Austria. You might also be surprised to know that BMW AG's original Munich plant scores slighty lower than Regensburg and Liepzig (newest and most technlogically advanced). The reason is that many of BMW's line workers/technician apprentices at Munich then graduates to other plants. Of course, when I say lower, I mean in relation to the other BMW plants and based on BMW's internal criteria. To the consumer, BMW's high standards are maintained.
