And how do I tell where my Bimmer came from?

I think if you register your car on BMWUSA.com you can find out there.

Your VIN can tell you a lot

The other poster is right. Some BMW's are made in South Africa.

My E83 X3 came from Austria. Built under contract by Magna Steyr.

Buy this book. It is a great read and pretty up to date as far as current models and where they are built.

A good response for UAW workers who have their bumper stickers that indicate if you don't buy American you too will be out of a job soon.

One of America's cornerstones is capitalism. To buy a ford, gm or chrysler regardless of quality is not just because it is the right thing to do is not an American ideal at all. In fact, that ideology is really socialism.

I couldn't agree more. And too many so called "American cars" are not made in the US at all.

Many later Pontiacs were made in Australia. A large number of the Suburban sized GM SUV's were made in Mexico.

Cadillac lost all my respect when they came out with the Cimarron. Jazzing up Tahoes and putting a wreath on them hasn't done anything to earn it back.
