Are all X3's manufactured in Spartanburg? what about Dingolfing?

mclachlan4321 · 04-15-2021, 09:34 AM

I've an X3 M40i on order, and the VIN has the letter G as the factory identifier, which seems to signify Dingolfing as the plant.

But I was under the impression that all the X3's were made in South Carolina? Im based in the UK if that makes any difference.

Nothing here about Dingolfing. Likely South Carolina. Does Dingolfing make local market-installed modifications (safety equipment, floor mats, etc.)?

Drop your VIN # into a decoder. Maybe you'll get more build info. I had the impression Spartanburg & South Africa were the only build locations for X3. I know X1's are built in Germany (wife's car)

9 = SC, US.

The G01 X3s in Australia (RHD) were initially from US, but after approx 2020 I think they've been coming from South Africa. Perhaps similar in UK and other RHD markets?
