Hey GVL, Grace here. 👋 Last week I had the pleasure of taking a tour of the BMW Manufacturing Plant Spartanburg.
As someone who doesn’t know anything about engineering or cars, this place was like a tech-y Disneyland. So here’s a little behind the scenes of what I saw plus some fun facts about BMW Plant Spartanburg. P.S. – they offer tours to the public, so if you’re interested in checking this out for yourself, you can click the link here to sign up for a tour.
Some fast facts:
The plant is huge – 7 million sq. ft. (I got in close to 5,000 steps that day during the tour). So large in fact that I got lost when I first got there.
There are 11,000 jobs onsite, making BMW a major + important Upstate employer.
Plant Spartanburg produces more than 1,500 cars every day – and ~70% of that production is exported to 125 different countries.
Plant Spartanburg has produced more than 4.7 million vehicles since production first began in 1994.
Those are just a few of the big, impressive numbers.
What we saw:
Disclaimer – BMW has a strict no-photo policy, but made an exception for us since we’re media. Something to keep in mind if you plan on booking a tour for yourself (which we recommend).
