I had no idea there even was a plant here.
I would imagine at this point that very, very few cars get all their parts and are produced in one country.
But having a plant here is great.
11,000 BMW employees per the story.
Large operation.
Plus suppliers and ancillary.
Making America Great Again
BMW (& Mercedes too) make there SUVs here. SUVs don’t really sell in Europe.
BMW built a plant here because their largest market is in the US and it was cheaper for them to build their cars here than it was in Germany.
As for BMW quality, they were a manufacturer of aircraft engines before they were a car company so their culture is that of aircraft engines. Awesome vehicles, but expensive to repair.
