Under EU, US free trade policy agreements they found it cheaper to get the parts made in china and import. :biglol:

They dont recall ours because they dont care about SA.
2006 M6 had bearing issues and was not addressed in SA! BMW SA sucks balls like none other!

Searched this earlier, seem like it's mostly N54/N55 related - curious to see how many local cars are affected by this and which engines specifically...
