X5 built in South Africa?

I was assuming that all X5 was built in the Spartanburg Plant but waiting on my X5 45e (week 37 production) the dealer says that status is 165 and it's in transit out of South Africa to Europe and Sweden. Meaning it has been built in the Rosslyn Plant in South Africa.

I thought only X3 was built there but not X5, anyone knows more?

Not that it matters but it's always fun to know where your car was born

The dealer got back and corrected, it's built-in Spartanburg but shipped via South Africa to offload and fill up with more cars before heading to Europe. A long detour but I assume they did the calculation and it's some economy in it
