X1 production is in Germany, Leipzig, although some or all of the production is being moved to Chennai, India.

Most X1s are made in Leipzig (will explain my 3 month+ wait). But India assembles it for their market (it's actually quite cheap there, but you can't 'configure' options - they just sell you a standard or 'deluxe').
They're also assembling it now in Singapore (with a slight price decrease before they were imported). I'm still scratching my head why they don't assemble it in South Africa since there's a BMW factory here. And I think X1s here are the most expensive in the world. Seriously. |

Oh damn... I have such a bar experience with working with people in India. I'm seriously not liking the fact that it's built there. Don't build my X1 there! I admit it sounds rascist... ban hammer?

There was also a video review from certain India TV channel that reviewed X1, and one of the comments were that it's not a perfectly well finished car and they've shown some plastic bits around the gear stick that were like a few cm off position. Now I know why!
