The deal is ...2000 and 2001 X5s vin numbers begin with WBA blah blah blah. This represents the origin of manufacturer to be Germany. I am not sure why 00 and 01 models start with this vin, but it was changed in 2002 to 5UX which represents the U.S. I originally thought my 01 X5 was made in German too, but it turns out...in good old Greenville SC...I am pretty pleased with that...because that is where I was made too.
