Actually they were manufactured in Germany.
The new X3 will join the X5 & X6 in the Spartanburg plant, while the Z4 will move to Germany from the US.

The X3 is currently built by Magna Steyr in Austria. Production will move to Spartanburg for the 2010 model.

Ah ok I remember reading about this and figured it had already happened. so with the z4 moving to Germany I guess the means Spartanburg will be X plant only?
