Careful what you wish for.

#1 - My E92 was built in Regensburg (IN Bavaria) and they didn't build it with the standard sport suspension. Still loved the car the way it was, especially for the crappy NY roads.

#2 - The E90 was built in Munich (definitely Bavaria) and after pick up @ Die Welt, noticed a noise as if there was something rolling around in the frame behind the front seats. After it arrived stateside, they took it apart and found a grommet had fallen through the subframe and they removed it.

BTW, a friend of mine has both an X5 and X3 that were built in SC and loves them dearly.

Wondering if I waited for the next gen X1, I could finally say that my SO has a Brazillian...
