In the past BMW usually did most of the filming & shooting in South Africa.
Today they do it in Australia & New Zealand, but also on Iceland and Canary Islands.
Of course other locations are used as well ... eg. Munich, Valencia, NYC, LA, Miramas, Dubai etc.

My guess:
New Zealand offers a perfect scenery for the most intense media material - due its diverse nature, and great architecture. Also the authorities are very cooperative, and friendly to the filming crews. Australia also offers some great architecture in their main cities such as Sydney or Melbourne - and it's just there beside New Zealand.

Some financial reason ... And I guess the weather is friendly & more stable then in eg. Europe, USA, etc.
Why not filming in RSA anymore (especially Cape Town)? Perhaps due security reasons ... I don't know.

Or the issues with authorities (hard to get various permissions neded for filming) etc.

Or many other carmakers discovered RSA as a great filming location, and BMW decided to move elsewhere - to some not so crowded place.
