Great cars. For about 7 or 8 years. Then get rid of it.
Any awesome car that you admire today, can be seen in the High School parking lot in 10 years for $300...
Spartanburg, SC, is responsible for global SUV production. In fact, BMW.
Wondered why BMW was jokingly called Bubba Makes Wheel there.

This is a relief. I work in BMW sales- March was a banner month, but it’s been a little quieter so far for April.
A quick note on how BMW does Business. They hire American Employees thru Temp agencies to work at the plant. They hire some American workers, but real management is pretty much German. They bring many Germans into the area on like 2-year visas to work...They make their first level (or tier 1 suppliers) use parts from suppliers they designate (most of whom are in Germany or German). They expect suppliers to reduce the cost of the parts they purchase each year into the contract. The plant’s production can vary based upon US dollars exchange rates. They are demanding on quality but will do “silent” recalls fixing production or design issues because they don’t want anyone to know about defective parts. They are good for the area but focus on the money going back to Germany or to Germans. Just a bit of what I remember about BMW
I have an X5. Great car.
