BMW Manufacturing has achieved another milestone with production of the five millionth BMW built in the U.S.A.
The historic vehicle is a Toronto Red Metallic BMW X5 M Competition equipped with a 617bhp M TwinPower Turbo V8 engine, as well as a Silverstone Full Merino Leather interior and 21/22-inch M Star-spoke bi-colour wheels. Due to its historic significance, this X5 M Competition will remain at the factory and become part of the BMW historic collection.
In 2019, Plant Spartanburg led the nation in automotive exports by value for the sixth consecutive year, with a total export value of approximately $13.3 billion. Nearly 70% of the plant's total production was exported from 2010 to 2019.
BMW Manufacturing is the global centre of competence for BMW Sports Activity Vehicles and Coupes.
Over the years, through continuous investment which now totals more than $14.7 billion, the factory has been expanded six times to more than 650,000sqm. The plant employs more than 11,000 people who build the BMW X3, X4, X5, X6 and X7 models for the U.S.A and the world.
