Why does bmw South Africa have exclusive models over the years?

Anyone care to bring some insight into this. After doing some research I always have noticed that South Africa has had some very exclusive sought after cars like the e30 325is Evo 1 and 2 and the 333i for instance. Is because of regulations not allowing an m3 or something? Just curious, I know the 320is e30 was I think exclusive to Italy and Portugal or something. Ehh always kinda cool to have exclusive models like these laying around.

for tax reasons the 320 is was setup, as for South Africa it is down to having one of the 1st BMW factory outside Germany, models for the market I guess related to demand costs.
