BMW Zentrum Trip, Greenville, SC
We had been wanting to go down to explore around the Greenville, SC area since we got here to NC but now we are down to mere days left here. WE decided to go down, even in the rain. We had a great day together. We were a bit disappointed that the BMW plant is not offering tours at this time though .

I have wanting to come this place and I finally have. This is the BMW Zentrum which is Best Driving Machine's information center and museum displaying some of its best vintage cars, concept automobiles, motorcycles, and more. This is located in Spartanburg, South Carolina and you won't get this anywhere else in the United States. Also if you have the chance, you should sign up for a factory tour at the BMW US Factory. FYI the factory in Spartanburg makes BMW's X-models: X3, X4, X5, X6, and X7. This is where the body parts are build, painted, and assembled together along with exterior parts such as headlights and taillights and interior parts like seats, dashboard, gauge cluster, etc. The engine is built in Germany and the transmission is made elsewhere in the U.S. There is a performance center nearby for those who want the M experience. Overall I had an amazing time at the Zentrum and the factory tour. I would definitely recommend this to a friend and family member. Cheers! #bmw #zentrum #tour

BMW Import Export USA Spartanburg Charleston SC Boat
In late 2016, BMW and the South Carolina Ports Authority held a special ceremony to celebrate the export of the two millionth BMW from the US to Germany.
During the last decade, BMW has exported Z3, Z4 and X5 vehicles produced in Spartanburg to overseas markets, as well as imported finished vehicles through the Port of Charleston to meet the growing market demand in its 11-state southern sales region. Imports will increase in the future as BMW Manufacturing Co. expands its support of U.S. sales by now importing vehicles destined for dealerships in 22 states.

BMW Group Plant Spartanburg in the US becomes largest production location within 25 years with highlights such as: Currently over 9,000 employees, creation of further 1,000 jobs by 2021; US $ 8 billion invested since announcement of the plant, further US $ 600 million from 2018 to 2021; Maximum production capacity of 450,000 units; Around 70 percent for export; World premiere of new BMW X3, BMW X7 coming in 2018.
The BMW Group has been a committed “local player” in the US market for a quarter-century: On 23 June 1992, the BMW Group announced its decision to build its US plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Continuous expansion of the plant with extensive additions and the decision to build the successful BMW X models in Spartanburg have made the plant the largest manufacturing facility in the BMW Group production network within the space of 25 years. During the ceremony to mark the anniversary, the all-new BMW X3 rolled off the production line in Spartanburg. More than 1.5 million BMW X3 vehicles have been delivered to customers worldwide since it was first launched at the end of 2003. The new BMW X3 will be launched in fall 2017.
Harald Krüger, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG, stated at the ceremony: “The BMW Group’s success story in the US would not have been possible without the open arms and warm hearts of the people and elected officials in the great state of South Carolina and the surrounding region. Our relationship with South Carolina has been built upon decades of professionalism, mutual trust and respect – and goes far beyond just building great cars.”
The BMW Group has invested eight billion US dollars in the production location to date and produced around 3.9 million vehicles since going online on 8 September 1994. “From 2018 to 2021 we will invest further 600 million US dollars in manufacturing infrastructure for future generations of the BMW X models,” said Harald Krüger. At present, the plant is getting ready for production of the all-new BMW X7, which will be launched onto the market in late 2018.
The BMW Group produces BMW X models in Spartanburg for the US and global markets. With record production of more than 411,000 units in 2016, Spartanburg is the largest BMW Group plant worldwide. Around 1,400 BMW X3, X4, X5, and X6 vehicles come off the assembly line every working day. Maximum production capacity is 450,000 vehicles per year.
Around 70 percent of the vehicles produced in Spartanburg are exported to more than 140 countries worldwide. According to the US Department of Commerce, the BMW Group is the largest vehicle exporter from the US in terms of monetary value. In 2016, 287,700 BMW vehicles with a total value of more than 10 billion US dollars were exported from Spartanburg: 86 percent were shipped from the Port of Charleston, with the remaining 14 percent dispatched from five other ports in the Southeastern United States.
The BMW Group has 235 local suppliers in the US. In 2016, 80 percent of the BMW Group’s purchasing volume in the NAFTA area originated in the US. The US is the company’s second-largest purchasing market, after Germany, and accounts for 5.2 billion euros.
Harald Krüger: “Free trade has made this success story in the US possible. I firmly believe in free trade and open markets. It is essential for global businesses and economies around the world to flourish. We will keep investing in our people and in our business in the US. Therefore, I remain confident that our footprint and commitment will continue to grow not only in the great state of South Carolina, but also in the United States in the years to come.”
The Spartanburg plant employs more than 9,000 people. “By 2021we will create further 1,000 jobs,” stated Harald Krüger. “Training and qualifying our associates is key to our future success.” Training at the plant is based on the German dual apprenticeship training system that combines classroom learning with practical experience. In the past ten years, the BMW Group has invested more than 220 million US dollars in vocational and continued training at its Spartanburg facility, with another 200 million US dollars planned over the next five years. The training programs are run in cooperation with local colleges. The “BMW Scholars” apprenticeship program launched in 2011 is currently preparing around 100 apprentices for their careers within the plant.
According to an independent study of University of South Carolina (Moore School of Business), the nationwide economic impact of BMW Group Plant Spartanburg is 38.5 billion US dollars annually.

Random Facts From The Floor
BMW Manufacturing Co. was the first manufacturer in the U.S. to use water-borne color matched primer
More than 36 feet of MIG Weld are used on the X5 body to create more rigidity
The Body Shop is 100% automated
Positions on the line are rotated to reduce repetition, as well as being used for cross-training
Paperwork verifying the correct collaboration and installment of parts travels with the vehicle throughout the line
Ten bolts are used to mount the engine to the engine compartment. Total time is about 3 minutes for the engine marriage process.
To help offset BMW’s energy demand, BMW maintains its own power station on site. The station is powered by four turbines fueled by reclaimed methane gas piped in from the nearby Palmetto Landfill. The turbines create enough energy to satisfy about 30% of the plant’s electrical needs and about 50% of the plant’s total energy requirements. Use of methane gas reduces the plant’s carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 92,000 tons per year.
Based on calculations provided by the EPA, the reduction of 92,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year is equivalent to the benefit of planting over 23,000 acres of trees annually or 30 times the size of New York’s Central Park.
