Country of Manufacture

Hi I am new to this and not sure if this has been covered before
I just ordered my first BMW
Can anyone please verify the country where the M235i is manufactured
Someone told me South Africa, if this was the case I would be very disappointed, also my dealer said the order was sent to Germany but I dont believe what car dealers tell you.
Cheers!

All 2 Series are Leipzeig(?), Germany. No South African 2ers here.

All the RHD 3 series for Australia are made in South Africa, that's where you would have heard South Africa and BMW.

Not true. Only a few specific 3 series cars, primarily the base 320i, are ordered from BMWSA in limited batches. These are sold alongside the German built cars, generally at same price but with more options.

The VIN will start with NCO for SA built cars.
