Here in Germany, you see tons of them, so I guess it would be easier to build them here. With the dollar being so weak though, it should be profitable either way xyunya, you are right about the plants, but I think they switched because the main market for it is Europe, so at least atg the point they made the decision it made sense.

Then Bandle created Z4; BMW could not sell any of them blame went to US plant and production moved to either to Germany or Austria. They still cant sell 'em. Correct me if my recollection of history is incorrect. Z3 started life there.

I wish they would build something here other then all their SUVs here, like the 1, 3 and 5 series. That is the plant talked about.

Expansion makes sense: ratio of quality per dollar is better then in Mexico and probably is the same as in Europe, although I read conflicting stories.
