Have you ever been involved in a manufacturing environment? Quality control is meticulously monitored with statistical analysis... This isn't some amateur job here.... Quality in Spartenburg is going to be BMW quality. The whole "German Built" "German Made" thing is baseless advertising / cult like dogma.

It is up to QC to reject the inferior quality items from the outside. Most of the parts of the car are purchased from outside of BMW, but we get the final product. I am not critical of the Spartanburg plant, as the X5 quality is as good as the BMWs I am used to. I love the X3, but also disappointed at the quality.
