As for regular BMWs I have no problem. Mexico offers serious quality in manufacturing.

I owned made in Germany 2008 GTI. Fit and finish was good new but had a lot of issues. Bought Mexican mk7 gti. Fit and finish is superb as good as the German one and zero problems in 18 months. My German gti was getting its engine rebuilt, steering wheel replaced, tpms failures, moisture in lights, headlight bulb out by 18 months. So yes it should come from Germany like Champagne should come from France but honestly I have owned 4 German BMWs and they were all unreliable compared to Japanese cars and the Mexican gti is outstanding. So not really sure about quality from Germany. My new German bmw had fuel pump failure, coil issues, rattles, seat frame loose, etc etc etc
