Z4 M coupe

Cuz5150 · 09-12-2011, 07:41 PM

Hello to the Z community!
I have been looking at picking up a M coupe recently and have a question.

Where were these made? Some of this cars show the I.D sticker on the door jam where the manufactures vin and date are listed. On that same sticker, some say "made in USA" and some say "made in Germany"
What gives? Someone clarify this for me.

Thanks

Parts from Germany and final assembly in South Carolina.

All Z4 M Coupes were assembled / produced in BMWs Spartanburg, SC USA plant, regardless of what the door jamb sticker says. Even though the drivetrain was definitely produced in Germany.

Hint: the VIN says a lot about country the vehicle was made

Hunt down the video of National Geographic Mega Factories BMW. Show the assembly from start-finish!

And note the prominently-featured Montego Blue 3.0si.
