RushCars24ID ◊ 2025-09-14 10:15	1988-1990 (film date), which per here, pre-1994 E34s were initially offered a 520i (518i followed three years later, well, one year after this movie was released). lucivex wrote Locally assembled by Indonesia Service Coy. And again, source? Wikipedia didn't list Indonesia as one of its assembly locations.

lucivex ◊ 2025-09-14 13:50	Update: there is confirmation that the E34 was also a car that Service Coy locally assembled. http://e12.de/palette/ckd/02670l10.htm Its successor, the BMW E28 (520i), was also assembled in Jakarta at ISC. Unlike the BMW E12, it featured the large bumpers of the US model. Later models (BMW 520iS) featured standard bumpers. The model range was expanded downwards: the BMW E30. The third generation of the vehicle, the BMW E36 and BMW E34, were also manufactured in Indonesia. During this time, BMW separated from the assembly company ISC and switched to P. T. Gaya Motor (GM) in 1993. During the Asian crisis in May 1998, the abandoned ISC buildings fell victim to the Indonesian riots. The ruins were later demolished.
