Will a South African-made BMW 3 series be inferior to one who is made in Germany?

- well, if u know your history, you would know the s. africa was a british colony, where plenty of white people flocked to live.
- its not like s. africa is as poor as the other african countries like uganda or kenya.

It doesn't matter where the car is assembled. As long as the people in S. Africa are properly trained and quality control is up to German standards, then a BMW is a BMW.
