^^ I don't think the SA plant produces the 3 series anymore.
As far as the NA build m340is go, I wouldn't sweat it too much. It's a full-fledged BMW facility that they built from the ground up. I just look at it as that tried and true German engineering and manufacturing is just being done on a different continent. There's no way the process has been cheapened, or QA standards lowered just b/c it's Mexico. In fact, the manufacturing process may have been improved since newer technologies are being employed there.
Granted, there could be growing pains in spite of all of the above. But I haven't seen or heard of any major issues with 3 series coming from the SLP plant yet, so that's a positive.
