Nationwide Supply of M340i allocations breakdown
I just checked the nationwide supply of M340 allocations and the number sits at 366. Xdrive models are in short supply since the MX plant does not produce Xdrive M340s.
Here is how the numbers break down. M340i German 8 M340i MX 266 M340i Xdrive 92 The southern region has 135 allocations North East region has 49 Central Region has 23 The West Coast has 159 As you can see the warmer climate areas that don't "need" Xdrive are getting the bulk of the MX built M340s

I'm confused, I thought MX just meant RWD and Germany meant for ED?

I thought I read somewhere that m340 X drive or not were being made in Germany and later this year some would be made in Mexico. I believe it would be predicated on demand and production cycles of each plant. I know mine was made in Germany, M340 X drive. I kind of worry that quality may suffer a bit on the ones from Mexico, but I have nothing to base that on. So to the OP I guess if you want German made then get a X drive.
ps : I am very happy with my purchase. |

That’s the German built RWD model?

Maybe they’re planning on moving production of NA cars to MX. Germany can concentrate on Europe and RoW cars? Explains the low number of RWD from Germany and rest from MX.

I'm guessing that Americans really want to get their cars from Germany over Mexico?
Reminds me of the kerfuffle when certain markets got the E46 generation from South Africa over Germany. In the end, the SA cars had lower quality control and fewer warranty issues over those that were made in Germany. |

Shouldn't matter anyway, any BMW factory has the same quality control and tech. Plus I'm sure the good people in MX are very proud to work for and build BMWs. |

Also I understand if they are proud to build BMWs, yet if I'm purchasing a German car, I prefer it made in Germany . Once you start outsourcing builds, you sometimes do see quality control issues. |

Yup. If your G20’s VIN starts with a 3, it’s made in Mexico. Mine is Mexican.
And honestly, I’m glad mine is. It has 0 problems. Not a single rattle. Even the sunroof is perfect (I read threads about sunroof rattles on M340is and 330is). Tried everything to make it rattle but it won’t. My car has been through a LOT of potholes, some even at speeds above 80mph (potholes on I57 are kinda deep and I couldn’t avoid them). The roads leading to my house aren’t the best. Lots of potholes and non existent roads. My A4 had a few rattles because of it. My Audis have rattles because of it (started a few 1000 miles from new). That’s how bad the roads are. But my 330i is silent. And it has around 3k miles on it. I had an issue with wind noise but that was because someone had opened the sunroof and didn’t close it back all the way. Closed it and it’s silent now. So yes. I’m glad I got a trouble free car Looking at all the winding/grinding/what’s that noise threads, it looks like the German built cars are the ones that have those issues (?)

So I wouldn't say the German ones aren't well built vs. the Mexico ones, it's just a crap shoot. Regardless, I'll take the German built one, and only that one lol. |
