When people think of BMW, they usually think of performance, luxury, and cutting-edge engineering. But there’s another side of the BMW story that doesn’t get talked about enough — its massive impact on the U.S. economy. From American jobs to U.S.-made vehicles and billions invested right here at home, BMW is deeply rooted in the United States with their Spartanburg, South Carolina BMW Plant. And that commitment directly benefits BMW drivers everywhere — including right here at Competition BMW of Smithtown. Let’s break it down. BMW’s American Story Started Over 30 Years Ago Employees signing the first steel beam at BMW’s grand opening ceremony in Spartanburg County. on November 15th, 1994. BMW officially put roots down in the U.S. back in 1992, when it announced plans to build its first full assembly plant outside of Germany in South Carolina. At the time, the company committed to investing $600 million and creating 2,000 jobs. Fast forward to today, and that investment has grown to nearly $16 billion, with seven major expansions completed over the years. The most recent expansion — announced in October 2022 — included a $1.7 billion investment to prepare the plant for electric vehicle production and to build a new high-voltage battery assembly facility in Woodruff, SC. The expansion will enable BMW to build at least six fully electric models by 2030, and the high voltage batteries to fuel those vehicles will be assembled right down the street in Woodruff. 🔗 Source: https://www.bmwgroup-werke.com/spartanburg/en/history.html Inside BMW’s Largest Plant — Right Here in the U.S. BMW Group Plant Spartanburg is now the largest BMW manufacturing facility in the world, and it’s an absolute powerhouse.
