BMW's Plant Spartanburg has record year.

During its 25th year of production, BMW Manufacturing set a new production record, assembling 411,620 X models in 2019, beating the previous record set in 2016 by 449 vehicles.

The stalwart X5 was the most produced, with 161,096 vehicles, and workers made 115,088 X3s. The plant produced 52,619 of the new BMW X7 models, which went into production in December 2018. Workers also assembled 65,557 X4s and 17,260 X6s.

Since 2017, the Spartanburg plant has launched five BMW X models, four Motorsport X models and two electrified vehicles:
