As far as I know, they are not detuned. Where did you drive the 3ers in SA? At the coast, or up in JHB?


I have hired many 3ers in RSA (Cape Town, JBerg, PE, Durban) over many years and all RSA built cars were slower and appeared less powerful in comparision to the same car driven in UAE and AUS (even the last model here which was built in RSA). The latest 3er sold here in AUS is made in Germany. My conclusion is that RSA ones are detuned for some reason.
