Which city is home to BMW's largest production plant?

BMW’s largest production plant is in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Commonly called Plant Spartanburg, the facility is BMW Group’s largest single production site worldwide and the company’s global center for many X-model sport utility vehicles.

BMW began building the plant in the early 1990s, and production started in 1994. The first vehicle assembled there was a BMW 318i sedan. Over successive expansions, the factory shifted strongly toward BMW’s Sports Activity Vehicle lineup, including models such as the X3, X4, X5, X6, X7 and XM.

The answer is sometimes confused with Munich or Dingolfing because both are major BMW locations in Germany. Munich is the company’s historic headquarters and a significant manufacturing site, while Dingolfing is one of BMW’s largest German plants and builds models such as the 5 Series and 7 Series. Neither is the group’s largest single production facility.

Spartanburg is the name of the nearby city and the plant’s established name, although the factory itself is located in the Upstate South Carolina area near Greer. Its scale has made BMW a major exporter from the United States, with vehicles shipped to markets around the world.
