Seems strange that seats for a vehicle manufactured in the US need to have replacement parts shipped from Germany. I thought most of the component suppliers were NA based with the drivetrains being one of the only things shipped over.

I'm not sure if the seats of the X3 are shipped from Germany because the X3 is manufactured in South Carolina.

If you watch the National Geographic video on the manufacturing of the X3, the seats are made by a contract supplier named Lear Corporation located near the South Carolina Plant where the X3's are manufactured.

I know, eh. I was going to correct the SA about it's being made in State, but I decided not to waste my time....

Kids were surprised that I brought home my X3 in worse condition than I send it to repair.... the thread was not broken when I took it in. After the repair attempt, it's now broken into pieces....
