That's a lot of X models being built in Spartanburg including my X3!

We make the underbody panels for the x3/4 at my company. It’s cool to be a small part of it.

Now I'm one of them! Lol.

I'm from Anderson and took a tour of that plant when they were still building the Z3 there and just started building the E53 X5. I can't imagine the size of it now considering the X3,X4,X5,X6,X7 are built there now.

I don't remember the E36 being built there.

I hope BMW gives a F-you to EU regulators big time by producing all their vehicles with V8, V10 NA engines outside of Europe.
