I know the Z4 hasn't had many problems, as well as the previous Z3. | |

I am sure they will do whatever they can to mitigate the possibility of a huge sales slump for this cash cow we call the 3 series. |

across the US it would be a shot in the arm for the economy of wherever BMW would expand or locate a new plant. The possibility seems mutually beneficial for everyone involved. The reliability factor mentioned earlier....as if America lacks skilled and dedicated workers.... is condescending and inaccurate. I owned a Z4 for 4 years- not one problem associated with build quality. And among other Z4 owners I've talked with no one ever complained to me about things shaking loose or installed incorrectly. No car or plant turns out 100% perfect automobiles....but in my experience the Z4 comes pretty close to being bulletproof.

The fact of the matter is, I and some of my friends are not too pleased with the reliability of the new X5. You can call that condescending, I call it being blunt.

![]() | Re: BMW considering U.S. production for 3er Why is it the workers on the assembly line? Could it be problems that rest more with the engineering of the car...even simple compatibilities of one piece fitting and in alignment next to another, or early fatigue in parts that are breaking down? If I'm not mistaken the Z4 is made on the same assembly line. Why would one model have assembly problems and not the other? Common sense, among other things, point to some other problem rather than scapegoating American workers. Happy Labor Day.
